Thanks HJ. I've actually watched all his videos in my travels, so I have an eye on that one

I got stuff!!



I don't think the stuffing tube etc is long enough but we'll cross that bridge later. I don't think the servo mount is going to work, it's too tall, so some thinking required there.

I may have to trim the rails to get the motor lower, but again that depends on where it needs to sit for COG.

Next I will cut out/strengthen bulkheads to fit the batteries, fix up some holes and joints in the current panelling and them sand everything in preparation for the decks. I have some expanding foam on the way too. Is there any reason you couldn't do the whole top in one sheet?
