📝 Making Your Own Decals

Unable to oped this message even when following directions.
However I have made my own decals in the past, I use publisher document ans cut and paste from the images source, if I use an inkjet printer you need to overspray finished item lightly with either hairspray if in dry conditions or spray vanish if not......inkjet decals are not waterproof if not protected.
With a laser printer just print out no over spray needed.
You must use the relevant printer decal paper for the 2 different machines.
But remember that inkjet and laser cannot print white, in theses cases you have to use a white decal paper.
You can get a clear decal paper if white print is not needed but I've never had much success with it.
Laser jet is the best.

I will be using a single 750 motor teamed up to a 320amp ESC, which I've been reliably informed will be up for the job.....not tested yet.🤞

When spraying or painting with a hairy stick, I find that after applying the tape, if you spray over said tape
with matt Varnish it seals the edges and helps prevent paint bleed beneath.

Today's question about submarines answer is wrong, read below:-
The Royal Navy has released figures showing just that after nuclear submarine HMS Torbay returned to her base-port at Plymouth following a routine six-month underwater, therefore the answer should be 180 days.

If LiPo's are so temperamental, is there another choice of battery. Could I for example use a PP9 battery?

This is my version, as far as I'm aware, when you finally fit cockpit lower sides, make sure the tops are level with the top of the sanded stringers for the decking. Mine are scratch built transomes not all perfect, but hey what was filler and paint invented for........😂😂 I apologise for upside down images............

Panels should fit, however before trimming wood cut a cardboard template that fits to fit then trim wood to that pattern.

What are the best Transmitter and receivers on the market. And what makes should be avoided like the plague.
Do Transmitter and Receivers have to be matched to the same make.

What I was actually asking was that when matching an electric boat motor to a propellor, what direction do I need for a motor that turns clockwise for forward motion.....a left hand or right hand propellor?

OK Guys todays question......I assume most of the decking is made of planks butted up to each other, but what about the bow deck which obviously on a slight curve. Should I shape them so that the lock together and look butted together?
