RC India

Hi,

After seeing desachristopher's build wanted to try the build. Hence, started with the plans posted in the thread tried a model first. Finally got hands on the sunboard to create a frame. Got the frame and body stuck, but plan to use fibreglass cloth and resin, to create the outer layer as the sunboard is not a solution just used it as a skeleton. Well I am no veteran  :( at building these. Hoping to complete with the help of forum support.

Since I have never used the fibreglass cloth with resin need help on how to achieve it. Electronics will try the ones in the above thread.

Anyone who has used Rudder and Boat Shaft Sleeve or boat parts for sale secons... will be really help full.. short of funds for new one. help appreciated  :hatsoff:

Attaching pics of the build so far.. please excuse as i am just a beginner at building.

I built a 39" Baby Bootlegger, didn't use cloth, only resin. Worked out pretty good, and strengthened substantially. Of course, my formers and bulkheads were particle board. Used it inside and outside; sunboard does absorb a little water.

Have a look:

Amit, thanks .. infact I was watching your thread... gr8 one... waiting to see your build ..

Nice build!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'm building a 26'' from the same plans, but looks like my templates are out of proportion. Build stalled at the moment.  :(

Nice built Bro. all the best. {:)} {:)}

Thanks desachristopher, I am struggling to get resin here locally tired of walking to all the hardware shops cannot believe that they dont have it.. asked one of my friends factory to get it for me .. to start work on it sooner.

satishjohnbosco, try Araldite. I find it good.

AnjanBabu can we use it for coating the complete boat for proofing... i am planning to use resin as per sanjayrai55 sir's suggestion, which he has done for http://www.rcindia.org/boats/110th-scale-baby-bootlegger/

Just have plain coat of resin, dats enough I guess, Even I did the same, you wont find resin in hardwares. try to search for some fiberglass workshop.
