Got this old Lindbergh kit. Hacked outcome deck and made top deck removable after of wheelhouse. Added a carbon fiber rod to attach the paddles to. Added a belt drive n motor. Made a larger rudder n added servo. Did a lot of detailed parts. Held back on outer railings. I’ll glue the next two deck layers soon. Plenty of room for access to RC gear n battery. Plastic old n fragile but most was ok. It has very little draft so let’s see how it floats. If too bad I’ll add foam under bottom to get it level. Lots of rigging thread to do..
