First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[srislash]

Sorry for all the reposts. I forget to say stuff... Hah so should i sand with say 600 grit in between each coat until the last?

Yeah,wet sand between coats. Follow Chiefs links. And a thank you to the Chief.

Just water and the right wet sand paper.

I really like that carbon fiber boat. I dont know what kind of design i want. Any ideas?

[srislash]

I haven't even seen what the whole hull looks like yet.Just bits and pieces.

[masonis1]

Ok well tomorrow when i wake up, im going to clean the hull with soap and water, and wipe it down with rubbing alchol and ill put pictures on here. What colors do you think look good on boats?

To masonis1 great job and progress and to everyone else helping him as well this just reminds me why this forum is so great thanks guys keep up the good work Chris g

Yeah,I love this forum.I used to build/race FE but left for a while.While I was gone everything changed: ESC's,brushless,and Lipo's.You guy's helped me adjust to it all so it is good to give back.

Mason,we could build a stand off to mount that strut to out of wood.When the prop and rudder are farther back it makes the boat act as though it is bigger,more stable and smoother cornering. So are you any good at shaping sanding wood? If not I could make one pretty quick and send it to you.
Unless someone comes up with a better idea/setup while I'm at work.

Hey Sri, these smaller "toy" boats actually like less length on the stinger/strut, found that out by making them fairly long on my Syma's then having to reduce them a bit.
