Hello again.

I was reading your post, and I have seen people talking about 'FOAMY' hulls. You say these are cheap and good. I have built a Ghost train rig and main hull, really neatly and smoothly, and installed the RC equipment. However, the sponsons are a different story. I made a mould out of foam, covered it in tin foil, glasses it, removed the foam, and glasses another. I then filled the hull it expanded foam, and cut off the tp, giving a neat, flat top. I covered this in glass fibre, then filled in all the gaps in silicone. Hower, this is still a bit messy. What are these 'FOAMY' hulls, and would these be appropriate? I know that I should have a curved top on the top of the sponsons (I do on the main hull), but I couldn't work out how to do this quickly, easily and cheaply. I am doing this on a very low budget. My plan to stop it pitchpoling is to put all the wight right at the back - batteries, rudder servo, and ossibly a small amount of ballast, to make the boat sit in the water with the bow out of the water.


Another area that I am unsure about is the rudder wing. I have made the rudder as the plans say, but it does not clearly show what the wing is or where it goes. It says it should be set to -1. Is this -1 degree?

Many thanks for your help,
