Default RE: RC Surfer

Hugh's new swallow tail build got hollowed out to take engine mount, Leopard, running hardware & deck studs.
Lead sheeting is sandwiched under the carbon inside the whole of the keel. Heavy keel is needed for +6ft waves & GoPro mount.
For me the shaping, glassing, sanding, painting is so much easier & pleasurable than installing all the electronics & hardware.
