Hey Mike! I know you said over-lapping the silkspan beyond the edge of the sheeting by about 1/2"! But the way my LST is, she's only 2inches high! And I'm not sure if you can rap the Balsa Around the bottom of the hull or not!! Any ideas! Nikki
MWCI's Drop test: II. Construction & Class Rules A. Construction Specifications 1. All ships must comply with the following test to be able to participate in R/C Warship Combat. a) The ship is placed on its side. One end of a 3/16" by 30" or greater brass tube is placed against the ship's hull skin an equal distance between two ribs (however, the hull skin shall penetrate anywhere between the two ribs). Insert a 12" x 1/8" solid brass rod into the brass tube, rd location and release should be achieved with a cross pin (do not spray any lubricant in the tube or on the rod). Letting the rod fall through the tube and striking the hull skin should result in penetration of the ship's hull skin. Maximum hull strength shall not exceed an 18" drop. It is recommended that a ship be built to 12" of drop to allow for battle repairs and hardening with age. b) Hull skin must penetrate in 3 out of 5 locations on first drop.
