gud one sir! i definitely look forward to make a similar one before this monsoon....

nice to hear.. 

Hello Roopesh Sir,
                          I really like your boat. I have just started making a boat for myself using your plan. I will be really happy if you could guide me. how does a cd rom motor work with rc equipment?

Alok from Mumbai

  what  do u use to stick the sheets together? I used Fevi Kwik 203 grade (fast drying C.A. Glue) and ended up gluing the boat to the glass table top and eventually it got spoilt when I tried my best to detach it..

to make this boat, you do not need any high end glues.. but you can use the normal house hold super glue, can buy a tube for Rs 20/- will work nice.. and place a news paper under the work piece always saves us from sticking on.. will be nice...

In my second attempt I completed joining the cut foam pieces,with minor gaps( will seal it using the NC Putty and NC Thinner method need help  on the proportions of both chemicals...) this time I held the sheets in my hand and prevented gluing it to the table!

bought 1/2 kg N.C. Putty for Rs. 80/- and 1 ltr N.C. Thinner for Rs. 60/- and sealed the gaps in my craft...drilled a hole for the prop shaft tube and glued the prop tube to the hull so far....will click a pic and upload tomorrow...

here's d pic...

Added Water intake and exhaust for motor cooling...

The cooling coil joined to the intake and exhaust using silicon tubing...

Well done Alok! Very neat build. Please elaborate on the drive shaft coupling - it looks interesting.

Hello Great VC Sir! It is a boat prop kit. It has an insert moulded nylon ball and socket joint.i.e. a socket coupling fits at the motor end and ball fits the driveshaft on which the prop is screwed on....If you wish to buy then kindly PM me your postal address...

Very interesting Alok. We must get together, I live in Khargar

Alok.. you do not add the thinner to NC putty, to conceal the gaps.. but need to dilute the NC putty, to pour inside, as it seals all gaps as water tight.. and it is too happy and inspiring the work, from you, as this will inspire lots of modellers to make nice crafts.. great attempt.. and have a nice success.. and if have any doubt, ask me.. will help you.. its a pleasure..

@Alok - PM sent. What's with the "GREAT VC Sir"?? Just keep it simple lad, 'VC' is enough.

VC Sir.. its yes.. GREAT VC Sir.. thats because you are the great inspiration to us all.. 

Dear Mr. Sanjay,

I live in Nerul,Navi Mumbai

I must say that Mr. Roopesh Krishna is an inspiration for me.... as I had wasted Rs. 2000 in acrylic sheets trying to make a boat hull!!!!!! 

and rcindia is the best place to start RCying... 

yes.. be inspired..because all we are RC INDIANS...

 

painted the first base layer colour...

made a stand for my craft using 3mm foam board...

 

test video of the central lock mechanism gearbox motor in my craft...How do I make it go same speed at 6 volts?? I was testing it it 10 volts and 12 volts max...It will help saving some battery weight as I am planning to use 650mah nicad cells after making a pack.....

Alok, rewind your motor for 3 volts 1 Amps.. will works nicely at 6 volts.. you can use 26 SWG wire for smaller motors..
