The turn fin is enhanced with a scale -like brace. Not fully scale, but it works extremely well and is easily adjustable via the turnbuckles. Alu control horns are added with carbon plate for a very stiff mounting.

The STS from Aeromarine, used to keep water out and the shaft lubed. Love this product.
the others are fuel dots from central hobbies, I use them in boats as dry out ports... they will be placed in the wet area under the turbine tray so the boat can be aired out from time to time.Comment

The drive shaft system installed. Super short which I like... the motor angle is very flat which is an added bonus.Comment

Here is a better shot of the shaft arrangement- no Teflon is used.
11/32 Hull tube,3/8 stuffing tube, 5/16 shaft tube.Comment

Ok, its going to slow down for a bit now while I begin the painting process. I would rather build several hulls, than paint just one!
Painting is very labor intensive considering time for body work, priming and prepping.Comment

The final body work and windshield frames going into place.Comment

ready for paint!Comment

Catboi,
Looking awesome, can you post a picture showing how the waterproof hatches and the cowlings are configured. I see that you made a motor cover, this gets [taped] down? Did you do the same under the cockpit?Comment

Yes, Here is the completed cover. the rear area under the turbine tray is a wet area, only the two front compartments (as one now) are sealed.Comment
