RE: My first boat is finally done!
I used a little silicone sealant on all connections. It seals very well, and with just a bit of work, is 100% removable. I really dont like having the componenets where they are. I will change them on boat two, which is already in the planning process.
I also want to let you all know, that the boat never ran. I tested my engine at the house-ran fine-got to the pond on sat. and sunday and couldnt get the damn thing to fire. So I am scrapping the crappy Cox .074 and going to put an OS .10 FP on it. I will need to redesign the mount, but no big deal. I am probably going to build a new hull, with a hatch to secure the radio equip.
If you know anyone that wants a Cox Queen Bee .074 R/C engine that runs on the bench----let me know, but i dont expect a miracle...
Thanx all, I will post some progress on the new motor when i have time to build it.
