It’s never ending, especially this time of year.

Looking good.

As long as he flies as good as he looks.

What are you going to do to house the battery, receiver & ballast weight and how will you attach the motor?

[Predator]

Yes, motivation is what we need, especially at this time of the year.

With a bit of luck, when the 10R is completed I will still be motivated enough to finish my A Class as well.

Got the stand made & the keel epoxied in and then it came to a grinding halt.

All the internal woodwork is complete, just need to install the closed loop Sail-winch set up & relocate the Rudder Servo then the deck can go on.

Pete, I generally fill the void in the boom vang (between the bearings) with marine grease to keep the water out as once it gets inside there it tends to stay and corrode the bearings from the inside. As for the outside, a good rinse in fresh water after EVERY sail in salt water and a drop of very light (sewing machine) oil to top and bottom bearing should keep the corrosion away.

[Predator]

Ah yes imperfections, can’t complain though given the price!! Still a bargain.

I will need to do some timber work around the hatch cut outs to reduce their size slightly and strengthen the joins as it was only the many layers of paint holding the unbraced butt joints between the sheets. Nothing a bit of marine ply & epoxy won’t fix though.

Certainly was another fine day of DF65 racing at the Duck, and a fair turnout of boats to boot.

Thanks to all involved.

Thanks Kyle, don’t forget to set your Avatar or you will end up with something from my warped sense of humour (which of course you will then have to change.

Virtually any pic can be loaded & the system will shrink it down to size.

Great to see you on the new site Bones & looking forward to catching up over Christmas.

Feel free to give the new temporary site link to any of the SSRC guys that enquire but please remember that the URL will be changing once we sort out relocating our RCToysTasmania Domain name.

Volantex ASW28 Wing Flex

I fitted the keychain cam from my Drifter onto the T tail and wingtip of my 2.6m glider to see how much the wing flexes before I reinforce the wing with tape.
