Default RE: RC multihulls?

I think some things need to be straightened out on here, regarding Hulls and the way some can be made!! There is nothing new about making quick moulds for Multihulls or monohulls. Radio Controlled Model Multihulls, icluding Foilers, have been raced at meetings in this country since the sixties, and I have the photos to prove it!!!!! This whole Forum Thread started by someone asking whether anybody else had or was building Model Multihulls! Yes they have, many of them of all sizes, and been doing so Radio Ciontrolled since the fifties!!
All sorts of things have been used to make Hulls and floats, and all sorts of methods of making GRP quick moulds used! There is nothing 'NEW' about it!! Dick Lemke and I have E mailed each other for some eight or so years, discussing ways of making hulls for The MINI40(F48 in the US), and introducing the M1M or 1M Multi Class of racing using present available products, such as Standard 1M hulls. The use of Foamy floats, originally for 1M Ctamarans was fully developed and continued into M1M Tris by Tricat and Mr X, and also by me!
I also find it somewhat amusing when a particular person on this Forum Thread, is now writing on this other site as 'we' do this, 'we' do that, and yet he has still to build and use any Multihull himself!!! Suddenly picking up information from other people makes him out to be someone who knows all about Multihulls???? Talk about telling others 'how to suck eggs'!! Maybe they should think more that they are just catching up on what has been happening out in the big world out there for DECADES!
