More photos have been approved for public viewing... 1st section of the super has been added along with the 4 turrets. The pen area can be clearly identified... Close up of the super, and front barbett with turrets The bow is still there!!!!! Stern with prop and rudder removed, you can see the round flight deck here... Turret Close up Inside the turret Hollow super.... Here is a shot of the rudder servo area under the flight deck's removable pad You can see the drive shaft, and areas for pump and drive motors Bottle post Plenty of wire runs along the sides... Shot of side profile....
Yup, the stringer is the waterline. 1" of height above must be penetrable. Nothing in the rules says that 1" must be vertical, though....
Yes the tumble-home is pen area, gonna be a b@&%$ to skin.... but the kewl factor is worth it. She will be running test runs at this weekends battle for speed and turning...
The CHS EViL gets wetted out in preparation to be fitted out with propulsion, electronics, and armament... Oh how I luv West Systems....
Have you considered possibly putting small slits in those wiring loops just in case you need to remove or replace one of your wires? On a side note, this boat is awesome!
Never though of slits... not a bad idea... I normally just snake the wire through and re-solder the connection if needed. The slits would enable me to remove wires without breaking any connections. I will have to look into it..
FYI, the designer is not really a proponent of the holes in the frame pieces, particularly the ones below the waterline stringer in the bb impact area. Otherwise freaking excellent build all around.
Yea, I didnt think those holes through very well.... thats why their is another set of holes up above the pen area... LOL
love this build. Sheeting around those barbettes sticking through the tumblehome looks like it'll be fun though
And how many beers did it take to get Jeff drunk enough to volunteer for that part of the project?!?!
If the holes are a problem they could always have short sections of pvc tube glued into them, make them nice n strong.
