Captain Jack's Graf Spee

Well, here is the first sink out of the way. Looked great going down. I can't wait to catch this one on film!

 

Took him out and let him dry off. Next up is to play how the interior will look, where the rudder will go and the deck.

 

I think the boat should be about 12 pounds in weight.

 

Tweleve to thirteen Paul is the max... I wanted to get it out there at it's heaviest possible...

 

Er, what's up with the stringer along it's sides? I didn't think they were allowed?

 

Along the top edge of a bulge you can have a 1/8" stringer so that the balsa has somthing to attach to. He will back it up with some 1/8" basswood, and then gring it down to size I would think.

Looking good Craig. []

 

Nice cut there Admiral..very Noice indeed. The Furher is pleased... Dat is Good ..Dat is very good.

 

looks good Craig, i think this thread will be fun to watch.

 

Thanks all... I will be drilling out the holes for the rudder and shafts, then attaching the deck.... stay tuned! I will try to make mine as visual and comprehensive as Curt's.... he has set the bar pretty high.... thanks Stokomoto! Appreciate the feedback guys...

 

Craig check with Steve Crane on the size of props and size of motor. Specifially the motor voltage.

 

Craig, if you want, I will ask him since I'll be talking to him in the next couple of days.

sweet.... that work's Jay... I'm uploading to youtube.... I will check back in a minute

 

I used 380s in PE but I am not sure if they were rated 12v or 6v. or other.

 

Noted Curt. Remember our shopping list from the other day?

 

I can't remember either. Did these come from BC?

 

I think those were BC 380's.

 

Oh yea

 

Check the site to see if they are 6-12v, or 6 v or just 12v

Ya know you did such a good job cutting that Hull I think I may have to cut mine and outfit it for Combat-x. Hey that means we can pair up and terrorize the pond. Hmmm imagine pulling up alongside a battlewagon and droppig a few torps point blank. evil I know.
