RE: My Custom 1/8 Miss Bud

For the front airfoil wings I used doubled sided servo tape but only on the ends of the wings. What this actually does from what I tested is create a narrow passage of air between the underneath of...

RE: My Custom 1/8 Miss Bud

I honestly just went to my local Home Depot and picked up some spray paint used for outdoor plastics, ceramics, etc. Worked great.

RE: My Custom 1/8 Miss Bud

RE: My Custom 1/8 Miss Bud

Not sure if you have investigated this or not, but I would take a look at some plans from Roger Newton (www.newtonmarine.com) and base your build from there. It sounds like you are scratch designing...

RE: My Custom 1/8 Miss Bud

You can absolutely add off-setted weight to the sponsons. Buy some airplane stick-on weights so you can move and adjust as necessary. Add some to the left sponson first and go from there. You...

RE: My Custom 1/8 Miss Bud

As an added measure, I highly recommend adding autobailers at the rear transom to help drain any water that does come through.
