Looking very nice Phil, hopefully I’ll get the deck epoxied onto mine tomorrow so I should be back sailing A’s in a week or two.
Today’s voting is ready to post but I’ll wait till after tea just in case our intrepid Overseas correspondent Hoppy wishes to add a video from his neck of the woods.
I’ll wait till 7:30 just in case he is out sailing again in the lovely summer weather of the Philippines.
I think you may have a “k” too many Stephen, with 900kg of thrust you would be dragging the bench across the workshop.
Good info here Ron
It’s getting close now !!
All the deck fittings have turned up from the Radio Sailing shop and even the new alloy rudder arm arrived today from downtown China.
Just as well I have high ceilings in the Rumpus Room because even so, fully rigged, I only have 50mm clearance from the mast crane to the ceiling.
With a bit of luck & a stiff breeze the deck should go on this weekend (hopefully).
I got some 24 hr epoxy with a 1 hour pot life to epoxy the deck in place, figured it was never going to work out well if I tried with the 5 minute epoxy that I’ve been using to date for the build.
Very nice Chris, I’ve added your entry to the voting page, cant have our one and only foreign correspondent missing out on a chance for the weekly GMA.
It was another great day for flying today @ the field. From tomorrow we are in for another week of rain (again) so it may be a while before we are out again.
Andrew’s foamboard Spitfire flew perfectly today, its got a bit more power than the one Ron built so flies a lot faster but both of them appear to fly very well.
Ron has a new model under construction at present so it should be flying by the next time we head out.
I’m pretty happy with the current camera setup in the Tech Pod (finally) so now I can move on to installing the down facing camera and then the FPV gear.
The bits I had on order from the Radio Sailing Shop turned up for my A Class Wizzle Wozzle RC yacht today so with a bit of luck I’ll finally get it finished over this next wet week.
