If there is anything else that I can help you with in your build Duncan, please do not hesitate to ask.
You mention the bending of the skins, the bottom skins go on ok, but putting on the side skins, there is a hell of a twist to get them on the prow, I resorted to screws, after pins would not hold it.
Cheers, Pete😊

Glad to hear you made the show at Bury, regarding power, I find that a 400 brushed motor does the job perfectly, either using 6 cell Nmh, of 2 cell Lipo, it has a great hull which cuts through the water really easy,
hope you have much enjoyment building her.
Cheers, Pete😊

Thank you to Rookysailor and Peewit83 for your advice. I was at the rather wet show in Bury and that is where I bought the kit. I did speak to Paul but I just wanted some other ideas rather than using LIPOs and brushless motors. Useful to hear about fitting the transom after putting the servo in. I do have a small 15gm servo which from Roy's advice will probably be big enough. I just thought if it is mounted flat on the keel (as per an earlier photo) if the servo fails for any reason it will be easier to replace rather than one tucked up in the corner.
Was it the bending of the skins which was a problem when fitting?
Thanks guys D

Hi
My son and I built our version of Flying Christine 2 a while back. It wasn’t that easy! The rudder operation has always been suspect . I cut a hatch in the aft deck to allow easier access.the servo is mounted in the cockpit. Careful
Ballasting is necessary too
Good luck!

Hope you were at our open day at Bury Model Boat Club on Sunday, as Paul the owner of HA Kits was there with his stand, he would have answered all your questions.
I have built the Flying Christine II, she is a lovely boat to build, putting the skins on was the hardest bit, regarding the rudder, I used a standard size servo, but make sure you connect everything regarding the steering, before you glue on the transom, and best of luck with everything.
Cheers, Pete😊

Hi Duncan you can always fit a smaller servo. There are marginally smaller ones at 12 grams then 9 grams and that would work as well.
You get 0.5 kilograms at about 1 cm so enough power for a rudder with a 9 gram servo and they are cheap as well.

Hi Roy, yes it is shoehorned into a tiny space. I think it would have to be fitted before the decking is applied! I've seen another solution in which the servo is installed on it's side along the keel.😊
