Hi Rob, I really enjoy your builds especially the descriptions, you should write for that magazine we buy! It was your police launch build that had me buy the that kit, that was a joy to build too.

Hi Mike.
You're quite right about attention to detail. I seldom,if ever, 'bodge' something to cover up an error of mine as it means I haven't given sufficient forethought to the process, and knowing where the 'bodies are buried' would haunt me (for a while) ๐. The satisfaction that I know I've done the best that I can is worth the forward planning involved ๐. That's probably why I'm such a relatively slow builder, that's not to say that the fast builders don't do the same planning, it's all a matter of confidence in what you do that enables you to work faster. Self psychoanalysis over.....๐ Rob. ▲

Without question, attention to detail, not only the parts that show but also the parts that will never be seen, but will have no doubt given you immense satisfaction to know it was done correctly.

It's one of three errors I found in the kit, perhaps these issues have been fixed in later production runs. I wonder if Skydive130 (Sy) found the same errors in his kit ?..particularly the cabin window frame error. Rob. ▲

Hi Sy.
It will be interesting to see how you re-model the cabin, I'm beginning to wish I'd thought about something different for the cabin now ๐ค. Still, I'm too far down the line to change much now. The bottom strakes worked out well, nicely planed to the triangular section and all in place now. My rubber fenders arrived today..but they sent 13mm instead of 10mm ...Grrrr ๐ but the 6mm is just right for the side fender frames. Rob. ▲

Hi Peter.I
Thanks for your comments. There will be a final epoxy coat to go on after all the strakes are fitted but at this stage it's a strong and watertight hull, or it would be if the propshaft and rudder were filling the holes ๐!. Rob. ▲

Hi Sy.
The oiler is quite a nice little thing, thanks for the heads up on that ๐, it fits my 8mm tube quite firmly but i'll probably add some ptfe tape to the tube before final fitting to ensure a good seal.

Hi Mike.
Thanks for your praise. The rubber fenders are a neoprene foam 'D' profile, 10mm for the one that goes around the hull at deck level and 6mm over all of the area of the 'lattice' side frames. I've done a little test piece and it looks really effective. The foam has a hard(ish) outer skin and a closed cell interior so it's ideal for a wet environment. At the moment I'm working on the new cabin structure and it's coming along quite well, here's a sneak preview ๐. Credit due to Skydive130 for the inspiration ๐. Rob. ▲

Hi Neil.
To the best of my knowledge all modern servos operate on the same principle and are universally interchangeable regardless or brand or make. A digital transmitter is usually a 2.4 GHz unit with a computer 'brain' that allows the user to programme various functions and even old servos are compatible with them. Rob. ▲

Hi Joe.
If I remember correctly my kids clubbed together and got it for me for Fathers Day after they asked what I'd like. There are cheaper alternatives though. Lidl in the UK have their own 'Parkside' brand and were selling one almost identical in UK stores late last year, at about half the price of the Bosch one.

Hi Martin.
None of them are permanently fixed into the boat so if I have a change of heart it's not a problem to take them out and paint them ๐ Rob. ▲

Hi Robbob,
You are doing a great job. I personally think the Battery, servo and motor mounts should be painted. It would save that " I should of " moment. Martin555. ▲

Rob, that laser level seems like the โmuts nutsโ, saves gluing a pencil to a scrap piece of wood and trying to scribe a waterline. Can you give me some more details on it as it looks like a great investment ๐cheers, Sy
