Hi all inspired by Rogal and his build of the Orca I decided to have a go myself the plans I got from Cornwall model boats are Sarik Hobbies version .. now I have done a fair few boats in my time various types and materials but this will my first with plans only ..so I treated my self to a scroll saw hoping this will help a little .. I'll post progress as I go .. I did notice the plans are a little sparse in places its took me a week to figure out what shape the keel is 😛😛

Can I ask did you build this from a plan or all your own design since seeing it it's sparked my juices a bit and decided to order a set of plans . However they have arrived and seem a bit sketchy in places excuse the pun .. ie I'm trying to order what timber I will meed sizes etc but on the plans I got I cannot for the life of me work out the keel 🙄 it's not fully shown drawn in ..plans I got are Sarik

Here lies the body of Mary Lee, Died at the age of a hundred and three, For fifteen years she kept her virginity, Not a bad record for this vicinity.l👍
Great model was this scratch built or from a kit

Hi all I've managed to get the Slec Huntsman out for a run (vid to follow )
Now I'm running a m4 50mm x prop pos to big I'm wondering your thoughts is there a brass 45-40mm brass x prop out there on m4 m5 thread or for the prop gurus what would be a three blade equivalent as the speed is spot on

Hi all thought id post a video i did in 2019 of the Robbe pt 15 built in
1995 and the Palacraft Griffin 500 built in 2002 both still as good as new the pt 15 is running stock kit motor 550 i think with 2-1 gearbox on a 9.6v nicad the Griffin is running an early small brushless outrunner motor with a simple 7.2 volt nicad both still run chipper
video Shot at location at Stanborough rc boat lake Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire

What you could try is Tamiya do something called lexan body restorer it will clean the paint up and I think fine scratches but not sure on the glue
The robbe pt 15 also has the same superstructure type moulding aswell not that that helps .
