Help with a flood chamber

[BHChieftain]

Hi,
I'm thinking about embarking on a scratch build with an H&M nostep 2 hull. Does anyone have a good procedure for installing a flood chamber? I'm not too sure how to do this.

Thanks,

This is very good, thanks. Anyone have tips on how to make the actual template? Measuring inside the hull seems out of the question... I recall reading somewhere about using a long piece of solder to determine the contour, but I'm not exactly sure how to pull that off...

Long piece of solder or soft copper wire on the outside will give you a rough template... then it's scissor time to adjust. Take your time, a perfect fit saves you a lot of epoxy... :D
