All respected Friends.. and Modellers.. i told you all it is too easy to make crafts from foam boards.. so one day one craft.. so, i turned to my work table again, and decided to make a super Catamaran race boat... this one is not a copy of any craft but purely from my imagination.. still i am thanking to the Veteran, of Catamarans and Hydros, Sir Joseph Ryan, from UK.. he gave me lots of useful advices before i start the work..

so i made this.. and i am thanking here to one of my Friend, and Modeller who send me the high power motor to me as damaged.. so, i took some reworks on it, while replacing the bearing.. so working well... nothing else is used here to finish this craft as flexible drive shaft or so.. she is 28 inches long and proportional, and yes designed in such a way to operate with my all other craft.. here i starts from some simple piece of foam boards..

now building the bodyworks..
here i used a ball point pen body as prop outer shaft.. nothing extra ordinary is used.. and sealed with PU putty..

roopeshkrishna

can see the prop outer shaft and rudder attachment tube..
from my experience i know that nothing can beat the custom hand made props on ship models... here i set the blades at shallow angles to cop with high RPM of motor..

all respected ones.. when we thinks about a new fast boat, we instantly Googles.. and sees lots of models around.. but shocks while looking in to price tag, that even without any electronics needed.. so, why..?  while we can make.. take pieces of foam board.. cut it.. make it.. RCyit..
