Thanks to those kind members who have made constructive comments with regard to my newly acquired Norstar Kingfisher kit. Living as I do in a small apartment with no garage or workshop, I have to rely on my child- bride’s permission to use the kitchen table for such projects, and all ready have three in the pipeline! Perhaps the Kingfisher will have to join the queue until, Spring next year. I shall bear in mind the various suggestions - probably will be brushless powered

Hi Peewit83.
I understand the difficulties of modeling at home. ▲

Good to see another old model being built.
If you're using a brushless motor I wouldn't worry about the weight - I build mine heavy and I think a bit of weight makes them more stable on the water. If using a brushed motor it would probably be a good idea to put it on a diet as Ronald says! Chris ▲

I built one of these six years ago, it was designed for gas powered engines and uses heavy 3/8” ply frames and two glued together to create the keel.
I highly recommend, you take 1/8” ply, trace the frame patterns and then cut those to make your model. If not, and you choose to make as is in the kit, it will be a very heavy model. Mine never planned it only motored along as if in a no wake inner harbor or river zone.
