As usual, the first step is shaft and rudder system installation positioning.Due to the relatively large size,so use the  5MM shaft,The shaft tube use own bearings and stainless steel .pipes,the rudder with the Ark Original rudder.

ARKMODEL original driver is 550 with gearbox,it's a mature power but the noise is too large...To drag propeller （diameter is 54MM）,I think that the 550 motor is not enough,so I purchased 775 motor.

The position of the servo set under VLS system below,easy to maintenance in the future. use the glass fiber cloth + epoxy and the hull fixed，then use the wood to strengthen.

Status: offline 		The fiberglass hull have a  feature, hull need to add support, Otherwise opening will be increasing, This has been a little expansion. Fortunately, the hull is relatively thick, both sides of the holes, countersunk head screws and wood pulled.
