This is a 52" twin hull RC catamaran . Built with 3mm plywood. I used fevicol as a glue. But latter switch to araldite. Below are some build logs..

No clamps. So I took anything I could. To put on some weight

@desachristopher,

Must be far more difficult using ply as compared to balsa.
Hope you are going to:
1. Have a thin fibreglass and epoxy finish, plus spray painted colours
2. A roaring nitro engine to make this cat really fly
3. Set an Indian speed record for boats
Looking forward to completion...
Regards

Amazing Work Chris, Wish I could see it in real, 52" thats huge. BTW That Black stone (Grinding) reminded me of Goan Fish curry that my mom prepares. You found out a new use of that stone.....

Hope you have a good spray gun. Or that you are using spray cans.
This boat deserves better than a brush job...


Edit
And you never told us about that high powered nitro engine...

desachristopher

I have a brushless set ready, thinking of going for a petrol engine. like brush cutters. hope I get one in local market/shops

Nice built!  :hatsoff: Have you used epoxy fiber glass over the ply?
