Beautiful work, thank you for sharing, your 'screw' solution is brilliant as it means a good solid fix where clamps cannot work. Thank you for your inspiration

Nice work Geoff.
This is always a tricky bit to do. That is the problem with cameras they do tend to distort closeup's. Martin555. π Like

Hi Geoff,
Making the rudder horns and linkages has saved you money and you have the satisfaction of making them yourself. Keep up the good work. Martin555. π Like

Hi Geoff,
Many thanks for coming back so quickly. Ah, pity although I did think that the SLA batteries might be a bit of a squeeze. I think I will give one of these a bash, they look like an interesting and fun build. I'll drop Hakits a mail tomorrow and ask them a few things. Regards Bill π Like

Hello and thank you for your comment. I am not sure that 2 6v SLA would fit comfortably in the Morston, it would need to be the larger version and the equipment space in that model is situated under the hatch at the font of the boat and too much extra weight there would give an imbalance in the water. There is much more headroom in the Pilot Launch and the equipment space is toward the back of the boat but this is a twin-engined model and you may not want to tackle this just now. If you want a definite answer please e mail HAkits they will be pleased to advise. or simply buy a smaller Lipo or Nimh battery.
Best wishes Geoff. π Like

Hi Geoff,
I'm glad that you've done another blog, I really enjoyed the last one, I've yet to build a boat, my woodworking skills still need to be refined shall we say π, however, I still have a sizable box of bits that I bought for my pusher tug (might have another attempt in spring) which I would like to use in another build, but one that I stand a chance of completing, and I was wondering how much space height wise is available in the Hakits boats, I have 2 6V SLA batteries that I would like to use but they are a bit chunky, could you let me know how much space is available inside the hulls please. Many thanks Bill π Like

Martin, Thanks for your comment and interest, I am really looking forward to this build and will be introducing some of my own ideas to enhance(?) the model, I do like to do some things differently from the norm. possibly will build the whole range if locked in much longer!

Hi Misty,
I followed your last build and you did a fantastic job on that one and I am interested in this one as well. As you say the kit looks basic. It looks like a lot of effort has been put in to the instructions. Will you planning on working your magic on building the hole range of boats that HAKITS make LOL!! Martin555. π Like
