This summer mostly solving technical difficulties.
Replaced the prop shaft for a 4mm flex shaft, with 40cm it was to long and made lot of vibration.
Tried different motors, now got 3670 1550KV with 40mm 3 blade prop and runs great with good speed,
Also made water cooling with 2 micro pumps.
After al technical problems the build is progressing again 😎
Dekking finished and made side pods,

Finished the window frames, I used 1mm aluminium plate with 0,75mm vivak clear sheet. It was a lot of tryouts and faults. But job done!

Beautifully engineered it must have taken a lot of time and patience to make them out of sheet material
can I offer another solution for a future system, use an appropriate channel section and use aluminium solder to join the corners, I was always sceptical about this aluminium solder so tried it out just prove it didn't work but guess what it does work and makes a strong joint and is easy to use - give it a go That's not to say what you have produced is in any way inferior I think they are great ▲

Hello everyone,
What is the name of the paint that restores matt model windows to a reasonably transparent state? Michel-C searches and searches and . . . Every tip welcome, thanks. M-C ▲

You've made a really nice job of those window frames.
The last set I made using thin ply, but thin aluminium sheet would be a bit more forgiving and robust whilst being worked on. 😉 ▲

Nicely done renew👍
I couldn't make up my mind whether to make the window frames, for my restored Sea Scout see pics, from mahogany or alu. You just made up my mind.😀 Alu it is (or will be😉). My windows are 3mm green tinted perspex which flush fit to the 3mm ply cabin walls. Glued in with Deluxe Materials Canopy glue. Cheers, Doug😎

Amazing skill, even though it was probably very difficult and intense work you have made an excellent addition to your model which many will marvel at when they admire it.

I admire your patience using the method you describe for making the frame for the screen.
I have recently made a very similar screen using a completely different method. When I have some photos of it I will show you. 😉 ▲

I cut the inside with a jigsaw and the outside with bandsaw, first the inside cutting an filling, than the outside on the bandsaw, this way it’s strong and won’t bend when handling
