Well, guys, believe it or not, but I am back ( no, I 'm not Arnie
) Back with my build, that is. After several month of slackin' off, I finally decided to jump start my cat project and bring it to an end. Actually I wasn't slackin' off at all. I had to built several airplaines before and over the winter. But now I am determined to do nothing else, except build my cat. Last year I stopped by putting the bottom on it. Now I continued with the side walls and the interior. First, all was getting a water proofing coat of epoxy. Then I threaded strips of foam into the sponsons. This had to be done before the deck goes on. Then I made the motor stringers and laid CF on the bottom of the motor compartment. Motor stringers and ribs are half notched so the form a strong box once put together. Next step is to epoxy the running pads and the corner strakes on the bottom. Running pads are cut at 13° and are 32mm wide. So, as you can see, I am serious now to finish my cat as soon as possible. Harold and the other guys with their builds have turned me on
. Now, where is Steve Marshal from down under with his 48" cat?
Next step is the deck, which is already cut out and glued together. More pictures to come.
