RC India

Hi RC India
     I am from Nagpur, Maharashtra. i love boats . i build custom boat design from scratch. I have 5 model in working condition and 1 under construction also have 4 static 1:1000 scale model of INS Virat, INS Mumbai, INS Adtiya and INS Betwa

All my models are electric powered uses brushless motor.  I have Turningy 9X radio and no pistol grip tx  :giggle: although i am planing to buy one.
future plans are nitro or gas powered rc boat. i have drawn plans for that and will be working after Diwali.

I will also post pictures of my model once i get solution to compress images.

Any rc Boat beginners having any queries about marine rc can contact please do not send private messages post your questions under this topic so that others can also know.

Well come aboard Amit. Good see more and more Boat builders adding up here. Will have lots of discussion on boats now.

You have some amazing builds. Let us know more details on the drive trains, couplers and props that you are using for your boats.
Do you use Balsa for your builds.

hi im getting a balsa kit. I have never built a boat before. so i need guidance on how to finish the boat using filler material and sanding methods.

Use this free software. Works well.

thanks for the link Sushil Sir.. :thumbsup: :hatsoff:

Plain old "MS Paint" (mspaint.exe) is enough, if you are on Windows.  Just bring the size down to 800x800 or below, and save as ".JPG".  That should bring the size below 150K, and should upload fine.

The online ones like Sushil bhai posted and http://www.webresizer.com are also quite simple.

Warm welcome to RC India... hope to see pictures of your models soon !

Amit..happy to see a boat lover here.i hope you may share some of your knowledge with us.. :thumbsup:

Pixresizer is software that can be downloaded for free. You do not have to be online to use it.

Yes...my language was confusing. I meant to include all online options, as compared to things already available on one's machine.

here is the video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLqiyM-7HQI)
i will be running this motor 3656 or 3674 2000kv running on 14.8v in twin setup

fortunately i do fly :thumbsup:
only small ones that to of my friends

pratheesh
considering your hull is complete you need to sand it an make it level and smooth
then fill dents and gaps if remaning by nc putty you will get it in hardware or paint shop caution: do not use in excess it is very hard to sand.
again sand it to get clean and smooth surface then wipe clean your hull and apply wood primer
all these process will give you a nice hull to paint.

i will be glade to see progress of your boat.  best luck :thumbsup:

thanx amit will surely try ....

thanx that worked well.

Nice boat Amit! BTW i'm also Amit from Nagpur :P
working in Pune :(

Awesome Builds!!!!!
What is the coupler used in the 29 inch Deep Vee. Do post some videos.
Also is the water cooling jacket self made. could you post some more details of it. And does the prop shaft support on bearings in the strut holder.

Shreekant

coupler is custom made using gunmetal.
water cooling jacket is made of pvc pipe and aquarium L bend (pink colored).
1. first find the rubber ring like you see on pressure cooker cut it in such way that it surround motor tightly.
2. take pvc pipe of diameter=diameter of motor+diameter of ring. cut it in length slightly shorter than motor.
3. fix the ring on both sides and epoxy it .
4. make two holes one inlet exactly on top of motor at the rear end on pvc after mounting motor and and other at the bottom at the front end fix L-bends at each hole and epoxy it
and you r ready to go

please test for leak before putting your boat in water

my drawing is not good but it will give you rough idea

It is GREAT to have another seasoned boat modeller on the forum. We can all learn so much from you.

Amit..nice works..great boats.. :thumbsup:

Thats a cool way to make the cooling jacket. What is the build material you use for your boats. Is it Balsa?

Shreekant

I use balsa & plywood.
