Brings back fond memories of my 36" crash tender which I built circa 1980 and powered it with a Frog 2.49 diesel.
Ah, the good old days! ▲

Hi Pete.
Doug's quite right about the choice of power plant, there's no good reason or advantage for using I/C these days. Tip...when building up the hull do 'dry-fit' all the parts first and check that everything is 'square' before glueing and pinning anything especially if you've had a bevvy π. I'll be following your build with great interest. Cheers π». Robbob. ▲

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the advice, yes Iβm going to go brushless, much easier than glow. Yes to the John Smiths very nice π. Been know to have a beer or two while making my models π ▲

as others have said measure twice - cut once, try fit twice - glue and pin once, taking your time is no bad thing, rushing this type of work only results in a poor end product and rework of rushed work. Im still working on mine over a year after starting
Its looking like a good planed build keep it up. ▲

Hi Pete
Nice looking kit. I am in the process of upgrading my 46β Keil Craft Crash Tender, I see you are going to use a brushless motor what size/ type motor are you going to use? ▲

Hi Pete,
At this stage you feel like your not getting very far, but soon you will see a massive change and that will give you that Buzz and make you want to carry on. Keep up the good work. Martin555. ▲
