awsum boat n video

what is the hull made of??..... the writing isn't eligible in video.......


that's really coooooool place u  leave in...... pity i was not born in goa :'(

I made it out of 3mm plywood. cheap.... , couldn't find balsa

after the hull was ready I applied the fibre glassing resin to waterproof the hull,

most of the hardware was brought from hobbyking as its not available in India,

the boat weighs 2.5KG. and 3KG including battery.

there are some things to be consider, as the ride is not stable, like the hull weight, guess it lil more weight to be stable, the trim tabs yet to be fixed. fibreglassing the hull is highly recommended

 :headscratch: fiberglass resin ?? you get it at hobbyking??....... i searched it for ages.....

cud u even hav made the hull entirely from fiber glass??.... or does it require a lot of sophistication......

plz elaborate on technique......... even link cud do....... i seriously wnt to learn fiberglas stuff
thks

Thank you Very much Cristopher...... will try it out soon in Foam Board...... Did u do the plan on your own or did u download it ???

a gud video of the assembly

no, I downloaded d plan

there are some guys near my place who does this fibreglass, so I broughht some resin and a lil amount hardener from them mixed and applied. I dint use any fibre glass matt. but if ur doing then do it with fibre glass matt.

U better get the fubreglass resin at your local store, here its costing Rs: 110/Kg, which is more then enough

 :bow:
k thaks for info..... was it a fiber glass workshop or what?? ??? ........ill look for it in some hardware store...... i think tey may have it....

prateesh thks for the vedio :hatsoff:

yes its fibreglass workshop.

here are some pic I clicked, I dint do any how to video on this. as it was my 1st time

first time...... realy......boss u hav real artistic hands......



i remember my first time.... tat was real disaster   :giggle: the motor was so overloaded , gave in after 8 mins of runnig...... eventually it ws last boat i tried.......
i was 8 yrs then :'(...... no internet...... no one to guide......no budget....... just stratch that too limited..... :'(

but u reminded me of my blood sir  :bow:...... >:( .......now tat i hav everything tat i didnt hav then ........i m determined to mak things work for me  >:(

I wanted to build one Model tug Boat, do u guys have any PDF plans? :help:

presently I am working on a model tugboat, here I am attaching the plan.
I have drawn the line diagrams what ever I felt correct & the shape of the hull seems ok. If you want I can send you the files.
_ sb maharana

Maharana, plz send me d plans, as I want to build one

This tugboat is little critical in the sense (1) the deck is not flat, (2) the sidewall curved inward (3)  there is a step cut in the sidewall in between bulkhead 5 & 6.
Plan_1: More suitable for making fiberglass mould where I have eliminated the Keel which is projected at the stern. 
Plan_2: I have just given the line diagram of bulkheads and keel, you have study & compare this one with the original plan before cutting the bulkheads and other parts. 
The length of this boat 3 feet, around 1:25 scale of the original.

thank you very much Sir, for the plans. will be working on it as soon as I get time

HI desachristopher,

This is one awosome boat, could you please share the other details like motor used, controller, etc. This will help other people Since i am new to RC's this will help me to understnd how it has been build on the Electronics front.

Hello Sir,
I have printed the tug boat plans, n gonna start the work, I would be greatful if you share some more pics. of ur same project, for reference,

thanks.

Hi christopher...
You are really a great boat builder...please can you tell how you got those curves on 3mm plywood?.... this is THE material i was looking for...i didnt get foam of fiber glass so i am plannong to build with aluminium or ply( your build gave me the idea)

plywood is good, for this boat I used 3mm ply from local ply shop dat also ordinary one, I did not use any instant glues, but fevicol, which is used for wood, but the thing is it has to keep overnight to dry, for carves  I used to either clamp or nail.

SIr,
we are planning to built a 70cm rc boat with a ic engine..we have the ic engine..
but can u please help me with the radio control, rudder mechanism, drive train..
ur help would we apprecited..
