Well since everyones complaining that the forum is dead, I figured I'd begin posting on my current (1st) build project. I saw a post here about a year ago about a balsa cat and couldn't forget about it. "Shockerman" designed the original one based on picture of a full sized Callan Marine boat. There's a great build thread on RRR. Ive increased the size from 26 to 29 inches, full scale and then added about another inch to the width of the tunnel. The boat will be about 29" without the running hardware. Right now I plan on skinning it like he did with 1/32 balsa under 1/64 ply and then coating it with urathane. Power will come from a 9XL through a hydra 120 to a standard flex drive and either fullers or SM hardware. I'll start testing on 12 cells with likely a 637. I'm thinking of making some changes and puttin the rudder on a pylon further back and directly behind the prop. Any advice or feedback is welcome.

Word of warning I have a lot of other things on my plate so this one will require some patience for all of us.
