Default RE: planking hull

Uhh, yeh: me, too.

I'm working from the lines they posted... I've drawn out the backbone as I'm planning to build it and most of the bulkheads -- though I'm planning to do a little change around the middle. It looked to me like the lines might be doing something just a little unexpected through there. I'm planning on planking mine up in firm 1/8" balsa, then glassing the outside and maybe the inside of the motor and radio areas.

It looks to me like it's got a huge amount of flotation and will probably need a bunch of batterries and maybe extra ballast as well to get it down to the waterline.

Did you get the plans from Glen-L?
