Hi got a FLITECRAFT TEMPEST

from e bay cheep as chips lol

the hull is cracked thought no problem till i got it wow a small crack its a huge crack under the hull and the side too now well it was only £11.02 including postage so cant complain

my thinking is open up the top of the hull the houses the receiver and servos tape up the crack with electrical tape and use fiber glass resin where it is cracked

after i do that put in some expanding foam not allot just a wee biot as i have already blown up a plastic hull a few years back with putting way too much in

i have a few engines so be putting a 40 on it i think not much clearance so i have a 3 blade prop that would be perfect for it but once i have it running i get a two blade prop but think the biggest i will be able to go is a 8 by 6

any tips or help will be great the hull is very light so it should go rather quick as my other air boat is a bit heavy but got a sc 61 on it so its rather fast too

UPDATE

glued up around the hull then thought better open up the top so cut a nice hole in the top at the back just make a cover for it glue it on inside the hull was very oily and dirty so filled a bucket up with very hot soapy water

leaked like a tea bag so will have to spend some time gluing the cracks then im going to put glass fiber resin inside the hull around where the cracks are that seal it up then going to put in some expanding foam not much but if there is more holes that find it make the hull more solid too just enough not too much as put some in a hull a few years ago way too much two weeks after i put it in the hull sort of went up like a balloon

that boat never sank tho lol going to put a a 21 on it as the 40 i have is a bit on the heavy side i will keep you all updated on the progress
