    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 πŸ˜›πŸ˜›

    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 πŸ™„ it's not fully shown drawn in ..plans I got are Sarik

    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

    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 .

    So many moons ago I built a Dumas racing runabout not a million miles from what you have there I ran that on a 7.2 nicad and a tamiya torque tuned motor with kit prop I felt it was to slow and never really got on plane
