The finlay is a redrawn newton in balsa fo light fe. Will your laser cutting connection leave it in its native material ? (1/4" balsa bulkheads,and 16th. ply bottom and deck)You may need to check closely to see if you need to do some slight mods to the drawings so they make sense for the type of material youre using in your kits. I just want to say to the other memebers that if youre looking for a scale and someone offers Laser cut plans with the wood stock for under 100 dollars jump on it; thats highway robbery for an 1/8th scale boat. Man yall better get em while this mans good heart still exist.I think mikes a little drunk from the epoxy fumes right now. LOL


Great stuff Mike.

The Atlas in the vid is mine. She is 24" long, build from basswood and balsa - canopy is foam and balsa - all covered in light cloth and resin. Power is from an 8S spinning a back cut & de-tongued x535 running on 7 IB 4200 NiMh cells through a CC125 controller. An Octure rudder and home made strut, turn fin and hardware complete the package. She handled like a dream, but was a little light in the front at those speeds. She handled many blow off's, but she didn't survive the extraction efforts after being stuffed into a bouy. She sits on the shelf to this day.

Um, OK. Did I miss something?

Finaly did a good job. The build instructions are very straight foward surprized u dont see more esp after footage like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQHOasEiWEw Raydee had that thing dialed brotha @2s

That was 7cell nimh I think and im sure its probaby a 16th scale. Its raydee's boat hes a member on ose find him and he can tell you more. Im in the reasearch triangle area raleigh/durham .And yes the 1/8th scale.

Just thought I'd answer, as the boat is mine, not Raydee's.

Boy... I don't like all those curved surfaces on that thing... How big is this boat?

[cybercrxt]

TotalPackage- I can do something like that, but its going to be a couple months before I could really get on it as I have a ton of boats to build,and frame kit plans to draw up. This was stuff that people already requested so its first in line. Let me know if you are not in a hurry and I can do it for you later. Thanks.


Alright, I FINALLY got some pics offloaded. The stuffing tube is finally in, motor mounted, and now the top decks are going on. This one should be done pretty soon. I will hopefully start paintwork very soon. I really want to get all the plans for all the other hulls I have drawn in as well, so that may take precedent over this build. I have about 20 plan sets now that will make over 70-80 boats when you see what sponsors each frame makes! Pretty exciting. I will be posting a full master hull list of all the plan sets I have in the manufacturer for sale area soon. Enjoy the build I hope to have it ready to put on the water soon. Mike

Most RC boat racing is right turn oval.
