Scale Boat

Time for the domestic cleansing basin aka the bathtub test float. She sits level with battery included. Much of what she is getting is already aboard. She sits a bit high in the water. I will add weight (lead) after her first test run on the water.

Never a finer ship graced the tub! Birth of a Lake Union:

Are you going too paint a name on the bow?

AVGWarhawk · 01-30-12, 09:51 PM

Stern name Sweet Melissa. License number on the bow.

Watch out! your battery cables are going to rub against your drive shaft

. And if you know how to solder. I'd replace the tamiya plugs w/ deans plugs. I spent friday replacing mine. (I melted the tamiya ones

)

So when are we going sailing?

nevermind, I didn't see you had a box for your cables.

I have a box the wires run through to avoid getting tangled or some how cut if a driveshaft/u-joint decides to go south.

I hope to have the boat on the bay next weekend. The temps dropped this weekend and the wind picked up. Choppy waters.
