Default RE: Predator Outrigger Project

Well, Ive found some time to work on the boat, reconfigured the cooling system a bit, had some fun bending tubing (I actually learned a lot!)

I stabilized the stuffing tube a bit, mostly for looks. Decided to ditch the glass-shirt cowl, went with a plain ply and balsa one instead. The rudder was by far the hardest to make, it is fairly close to a true wedge, that took a lot of elbow greese (a plain ol file is all I have to shape metal)

next I need to make a stand for the boat and glue the top deck on. then its preping and painting. I have decided to say goodbye to the honda stickers and will use leftovers from my T4. Team Associated should realy start making boats!

but before all of that, I have to connect the rudder linkage.
