    Guys,
    Can you build an RC Boat Trailer from PVC Pipe? What do you have to do to build it ? Let take Prinz, She just a little over 4- feet-long! It's for in the car so she wouldn't fall off the back sit, when I finally do get her.

    Plus that going to be her bed, when ever i get her, so she stay in my room kind of like a hammock for people.. is it possible to do? but it would also be a stand to, and i would be able to take it a part and all that, what do you guys thing?

    Now it's not for on top if the car! It is in for on the back sit! The way my back sit is, i can buckle her in so she would fell of the back sit! And as a stand when I'm patching her up! then as a stand with i can take it apart and tie it together so i can put it in the car.. What do all of you thing, is it worth trying to build as a side thing to building her, or should I just hold off for the time being..

    RC boat stands can be made from a number of materials, including PVC. I personally like wood, but that is for purely decorative purposes, and is more difficult to work with.

    For PVC, you would need some pipe, a number of PVC elbow fittings, some PVC glue, and a way to cut the pipe. I would recommend that you hold off on building the stand until after you've got the hull; otherwise, you cannot check how it will fit in the car, on your workbench, or at the pond.
