Hi Ben.
No, that's the only one.
Oh, the sketch book is mainly just a few Navy stealth ships that I've drawn up from photos & artists impressions in Navy magazines.
I do a lot of scale/semiscale modeling too.
You're right Simon, Mostly in the head with a few sketches to get the proportions to look right.
All the best.

Ben, here are some pics that I took today, I was unable to paint the dimensions on them as I hoped to.
You can use these pics as a guide to some of the proportions of my layout.
This is not a perfect hull so to copy it excactly would be a mistake.
When I began the design and build I had a couple of pics of Pauls boat, not as good as the ones he has put here and a couple of pics of a H&M Thunderbolt.
The rest was sketch and go.
I will measure up some of the key points and list them such as sponson dihedral and AoA.
You can design and build a Canard, Paul and I did and so did Ken Joye ( I think) on rrr.See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with woodComment

Cool, my viewing pleasure is fulfilled.
It seems a little pricey though. Who is manufacturing this item? Do you know?IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"

Arrow Shark is the manufacturer. In China I think.
They make a few different hulls & lots of accessories. Give them a Google.
It's a big hull at 45" & designed for I.C. engines. I mainly posted it as another aid in your design work because there are some good views of it in the ad.
Here it is at a store in the U.S.A. A bit cheaper too as it's hull only. And three pages of accessories too.
For anyone interested in Australia, R/C Boatbitz (in Adelaide) stock Arrow Shark hulls & accessories. Good people to deal with.
Still can't find any drawings on the "Wide Wide World of Web". There must be some somewhere.
Cheers.

Ben, that hull looks a lot like the one Ken Joye (sp) of Mach-5 racing over at RRR built.
That is my best guess.
This will help you get to him.

Hi Ben. Stumbled across this while looking for something else.
It's the Hydro & Marine Firefox. Just scroll down the page 'till you find it. Not bad for $99.00.

Here's a couple of pics of one built up by Eddie Mathews.
Cheers.
