Hey Oz,
Yeah, that really looks good, don't forget to build the lower trailing edges (rear) of the front sponsons.
Keep up the great work in progress.

Thanks Moofy!
Dont worry Im on to it, just deciding on wether to try a new sponson design or go with a simple shape like the riggers etc. :huh:

Got some cloth yesterday so covering wont be a problem now.
I will be using light ply where I can, rear deck, rear sides, sponson insides etc.
Then cover the whole thing and blend all the foam to the timber!

Hi Oz,
I can hardly wait, when I do things it seems to take ages. You seem to be able to crank them out like pies.
Keep up the good work.

Would be nice to set it up with a proper rc marine engine, may have to find a cheap Zen and pipe!
