Rudder & Propshaft Drilling
Today we have drilled out the holes for both Propshaft and rudder, 6 and 4mm respectively. It is best to drill around 0.5mm more than specified in my opinion, as filing of that amount is otherwise necessary.
Attached are photos of drilling and the finished product with rudder and shaft loosely installed.
I also recommend drilling a small pilot hole, of 2 or 3 mm to ensure the larger drill bit drills straight and accurately.
The next stage is cutting out the deck ( the hatched areas which I have circled in the image). These will be the superstructure and servo access points.

January Update
With slow progress in January not a lot has happened! The servo tray has been constructed and the deck hatch fitted. The servo tray will be installed once the Propshaft has been bonded to the hull. The servo on its side will
Be used to operate the crane movement and the other servo is steering.

- Do you plan on strengthening the ABS hull?Liked by Heners2332 and hermank
- Hi Chum, no I do not as the servo tray strengthens the rear wall when stuck and the deck makes the hull rather rigid if I do strengthen it would just be a singular wooden strut on the bow.
