Build session

Thanks for your help today Don you made cutting that big scary hole in my hull a little easier. We got a lot accomplished really appreciated your time and company.

Finally got to put a face to Eric it was a pleaser meeting you and sharing the Dazed and confused look with some one. It was nice to not be alone in the say what department.
I certainly learner a lot like its 16 kg equals 35 lb DIVE, DIVE, DIVE [:0] can’t wait till the next build .

 

Ya I had a good time. Learned a lot. Thanks Don. And I never knew the Des Moines heavy cruiser would make a good sub!!! 8-O

 

Yes she had a quite impressive Dive rate [:0]

 

when we going to meet again you can finish cleaning my pool bottom[]

 

Well I have both hulls taped and the subdeck for one cut. I now have the complete rudder assy, propulsion assy, Guns, Bilge pump and battery. The servos came in today as well. Now if I can just get some ca glue I'll be all set. I ordered some thru BDE R/C Combat but I doubt I will get it anytime soon. Been waiting for over a month for a set of plans I ordered. Apparently they have a lot going on. Hopefully the hobby shop in Hyannis has some. They were sold out two weeks ago. Going to start putting everything together so I can figure out where to put it in the hull before I start cutting and gluing.

 

should have taken my CA I had 2 any ways what servos u end up with ?

 

Hi-Tec HS-322HD deluxe. Got them for 9.00 each.

 

Too Big for me 43 grams[V]

 

Well I got the CA Glue today in Hyannis at centerline hobbies. They specialize in R/Cs and have a lot of stuff. Now I need fiberglass cloth. What is the best type to get (Lightweight, Med, Heavy) and where can I get it? I have a very busy weekend but I hope to be able to work on the hull sunday.

 

you can get these serveos at http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/474501.asp for $9 jest chang the plug

 

I use Hobico 2oz get it at my Hobby shop

 

The stuff at the hobby shop in hyannis is light weight so I don't know if it will be good enough

 

If it is the 3/4 stuff stay away far away its like working with tissue paper []

 

this stuff is very fine. it was 9.00 for a small amount. what about the fiberglass that you can get at autozone and any other automotive store?

 

I prefer to use the 2 oz I find it easiest to work with. I searched local stores and most auto places carry 9 oz or heavier I personally feel is too heavy maybe some of the more experienced builders here can weigh in on this but the 2 oz is just right for me. I just use several coats which helps with over lap and getting a nice finish. well that’s my 2 cents that is probably worth only .5 cents but there it is anyways. []

 

so where do you get the 2 oz?

 

I get it at my local hobby shop but here is the company link
