Hi Canabus. Thanks for this input. I went and checked out the Lesro Sportsman and the dimensions are a bit different... The Sportsman is 31" x 12" - This new model I have is 39" x 12"

The turbine is about ยฃ1300. It runs best on Jet A1 aircraft fuel.. They will run on Kerosene or even diesel fuel, but can be messy on diesel..

I recall getting GRS licences for two "CB" mobile radios & a base station in the mid-70s, & also a licence for a 72 MHz $400 Cox-Airtronics 4-function radio system for 100"-span Standard-class gliders, using only rudder & elevator servos. I believe the licences were $19 /yr each back then.
In abt 1990 INDUSTRY CANADA narrow-banded the RC channels & therefore was able to add a few more channels. The service category also became licence-exempt, but type-approved radio apparatus, certified for use in Canada, was still a legal requirement. By then CB radios were 40ch ▲

This is NOT the Lindberg kit. It was plastic and came out in 1970. This is the "Dumas" wooden model kit (That I only had plans for) that came out in the late 50's. This model is of a 1954 Chris Craft. The Lindberg is of the 1959/60 Sportfisherman. The lindberg kits can still be found. This is my Lindberg Sport fisherman...again a different boat entirely. ▲

Youโve taken the old Lindbergh kit to museum scale! It was a high-water mark for them imho. No pun intended. The kit is a tough find these days as I had heard that the hull mold was accidentally broken then trashed and the rest of the kit went with it. Obviously a short sighted move by the Lindbergh folks. As a result it is becoming something of a โholy grailโ find for collectors and builders. I have an original pristine Chris Craft sales brochure for the whole line for 1959 that includes that boat. ๐. I will have to scan the pages for you guys if I can find where I tucked it away. ๐

Morning Austin.
I canโt say for sure but it looks a little bit like the hull of a RN Black Swan or Castle class sloop from WW2. I am probably completely wrong though. What confuses me is the stern as to if it is single or double shaft. The picture shown of is a Fleetscale hull. Regards Bill. ▲

hi there, this looks definitely like a Castle Class hull - John Lambert did some drawings for them and also Norman Ough - you may be able to purchase the drawings from Ebay/or someone may have them to borrow.
