Hey gang. I am slowly progressing on my Abruzzi scratch build, but I have run into a little bit of a snag. I just got done glassing the bottom and I noticed that there is a slight twist to the hull. I appears to start after the step deck. My wife is telling me that I am insane, but the twist is bugging me. Is there a good way to get rid of it? It is not huge, the starboard side ends up about an 1/8" higher than port. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!!
Cut 1/8" off the top of the stbd side, and add a 1/8" balsa sheet to the bottom of the stbd side and fair it in, then add a layer of thin glass?
This is how I fixed a bow in my ship.. it deals with having uneven sides.. www.rcnavalcombat.com/Forum/tabid/5...fault.aspx
I agree with your wife that you are insane.....even if there IS a twist in your ship. Best of luck fixing this one and I'll probably come to you again for tips when it happens to me. Ciao!
Hmmmm...Thanks for the suggestions. I am wondering if I should cut out a small part of the ribs on the higher side just below the sub-deck and then just re-glue the sub-deck down again. Let me take a picture and post it tonight.
