[F1 madness]

got the sides of the sponsons/hull sanded and shaped,put some braces across the centre pod for suport and to latch the lids under to seal it,also got all the brass tubes epoxied in for the steering cables,motor wires and cooling for the esc.
And finished the rear of the hull aswell.





Just gotta cut the lids,and get her sanded down and abit of filling ready for sealing,may even glasscloth the whole hull,or just the sponsons.

[F1 madness]

got the lids done for the centre pod,put a lip on the 1 end of each to hook under the supports iv put in but will be hatched taped to hold them once shes up and running.

Damn weather all builds on hold due to snow and freezing cold weather.
