I found some of this stuff at my LHS.
Wing leading edge.
Hard balsa 1" on the flat, the nose sticks out 11/16".

What is your profit margin? Just kidding.
This going to be one good looking boat and I really like the sponson shape. Extra battery space height to boot.
What color are you going to paint it?Comment

Thanks John, Ray!
The nose pc is not 1". I'll have to pull up the model, but I believe it tapers down to 3/8". It is sized exactly to fit the UL-1 nose curvature. Much smaller than the full size P-boat.
Profit margin! ha! Like how far negative? I haven't decided on color yet, but I was leaning towards 'grabber blue'. Might be too close to Ty's team color.Comment

Which is purdy close Petty blue!!Comment

Finished the bottom. I began gluing in the spruce sticks for the decking.
Just realized that I closed off the sponsons (no air flow). They are essentially like pontoons. Might argue that it would make great flotation?? But probably not a good idea for mold/mildew, etc... I will need to update the model to allow a passage way between the inside of the sponson and the fuselage. Until then, I'll just dremel it out.Comment

BTW, I completely soaked each spruce stick in West Systems, then wiped off the excess with a cloth and glued them into position. This will ensure that all sides are sealed.Comment

Looks good. Looking forward to seeing the finished boat.Comment
