You and your pop corns lol. Ok I got a lot done without getting a lot further. There was many things missing in the previous photos shown. Nothing was glued down just placed to mark position.
The plate was a very hard task, and to get it looking half descent took a lot of time and many attempts having to remove access excess epoxy only to apply it again.

Also got the rudder mounted, I find it easy to drill the holes as I use the rudder it self as the template. The rudder actually claps onto the mount when you tighten the screws. After I drill the top holes I simply turn the rudder upside down and drill from the button. Also, I don't like the rudder system on the inside of the hull from MHZ, I drill a larger hole to fit a black Teflon tube for the pull wires. This way also eliminates any water coming into the hull.

Those rudders look sooo good Kent. Like the 'beefy' bracket style to them.

Nice work, did your rates go up on the public holidays lol ?
Looks like you have been working right through XMAS :)

Interesting you went with a 3rd motor down the tunnel, just thought id point out its mounted in the wrong direction..
If you spin it 180* should be fine. Know worries thank me later

Its a blower. Forces rpms out the ass end. Plus i wanted something in there that makes the 3060's look smaller.

Lol funny! That's my spare motor for the CNC machine. But that's the only thing I could find that has a bit of weight. That thing can break 8mm bolts at only 300rpm. I wonder how big a prop it would turn

@ Ryan, thanks for the tip.....LOL

Got a bit more work done to the steering. Polished the pull pull clamps and soldered the stainless wires with silver solder. Next will be the lipo mounts and waterproofing.

Looking good.

Hello All, and Happy New Year!!! guess we all made it into 2014. Got some more work done. Its getting harder as I'm fitting more stuff into the boat, and at the same time trying to keep the weight down. So far about 900g of carbon. here are some pictures of the progress..
