No I had not seen the majority of these, however know what I will be doing tonight.
I am in the process of attaching the ribs at the moment - an interesting job trying to keep them stable while the glue sets so am taking my time. Supposed to be working but just happen to have the boat behind me. Guess which gets my attention. Problems of a home office. I found another lot of plans for a shortened Flyer without the double ends. Looks interesting but this one gets me. The only issue with the plans that I received for the 1/4 scale model is that there are only photographic instructions and no details about the preferred type and size of motor etc. As they say, one step at a time. Cheers and thanks 👍 Like

Hi Peter, don't know if you saw this vid on my post to Graham earlier, you might enjoy it. Boat is built in Finland. There was a smaller model of the flyer which used a 4cyl motor or outboard, and a larger 20ft V8 model. Here's some info I found a while back when I was thinking of building one. Some people have fitted V8s to the 13 footer but they are really too heavy.
