Default mini v project

hi , i am almost ready to run my mini v, I have built this boat from scratch over the last 2 weeks. I used all the elrectrics out of my crashed park flyer, including a graupner speed 400 6v motor, 2 mini servos, receiver, speedy, and the battery pack to go with it. this boat measures about 350mm or 14in by 150mm or 6in, im hoping to get this little baby in the water this weekend

what do u think

Looks nice, I would suggest a hatch. Boy, thats the closest flush mount rudder I have ever seen.

yep, i built it from scratch from a old set of templates that i had in the shed
i used 2 servos caus they are so small (abuout 1/4 size of a standard one), hopefully they will help each other out abit.
if the rudder does not work i will just have to think of another way to do it, oh yea and the hatch..... i made it today
