Status: offline 		Now you are going to hate me Bentley, that is a Marine Specialties double HBR if I am not mistaken... it has a reputation for being a. heavy and b. the rudders being weak. This is due to them being cast. Having said that I have the strut on my Lynx without any problems
What is the strength of your servos? You will need 10kg or over for the rudder servo.

Status: offline 		yep shes geting there slowly the

as for the sides i took the highest point on the side and made it the same hight all the way to the back

and added the same amount to transum

the strikers i just grabed a bit of wood and glued it on then shaped it with fuller just copyed off what was on my dads real boat so will see how they go i can allways grind them off

need to get parts form the model shop now so i can work out CG and mount every thing in side befor i put the rear deck and screen on the hull

Status: offline 		hi el menor you may want to push the sides out a bit at the front just a touch to angle them outwards just a touch as yours seem to angle inwards a bit? it will help desperse any water away from the boat as she gets moving .add a cpl of small cross beams or frames to do this hope this helps otherwise she looks good.

Status: offline 		you may think that now but trust me when you turn, your boat will get wet and so may the engine as the water will hit the sides and go up if its not despered away from the boat it will go over it and your engine could get swamped ,but hey do it your way !!
