awsum boat n video

what is the hull made of??..... the writing isn't eligible in video.......


that's really coooooool place u  leave in...... pity i was not born in goa :'(

desachristopher

I made it out of 3mm plywood. cheap.... , couldn't find balsa

desachristopher

after the hull was ready I applied the fibre glassing resin to waterproof the hull,

most of the hardware was brought from hobbyking as its not available in India,

the boat weighs 2.5KG. and 3KG including battery.

there are some things to be consider, as the ride is not stable, like the hull weight, guess it lil more weight to be stable, the trim tabs yet to be fixed. fibreglassing the hull is highly recommended

 :headscratch: fiberglass resin ?? you get it at hobbyking??....... i searched it for ages.....

cud u even hav made the hull entirely from fiber glass??.... or does it require a lot of sophistication......

plz elaborate on technique......... even link cud do....... i seriously wnt to learn fiberglas stuff
thks

there are some guys near my place who does this fibreglass, so I broughht some resin and a lil amount hardener from them mixed and applied. I dint use any fibre glass matt. but if ur doing then do it with fibre glass matt.

desachristopher

U better get the fubreglass resin at your local store, here its costing Rs: 110/Kg, which is more then enough

presently I am working on a model tugboat, here I am attaching the plan.
I have drawn the line diagrams what ever I felt correct & the shape of the hull seems ok. If you want I can send you the files.
