I'd like to keep the hull under 5lbs, I know its going to be tough.
The deck, bottom and ride pads skins will be G10
Vertical sponson and after-plane non-trip surfaces will be Styrene sheet to keep weight down.Last edited by K.R.Joye; 04-24-2018, 08:10 AM.~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bonding the engine cowling support opening structure.
Heavy swiss-cheesed hardwood Airfoil blocks are bonded in. These really strengthen the whole front canopy/sponson structure to the afterplane.
Canopy nose construction up next...Last edited by K.R.Joye; 03-19-2018, 09:39 AM.~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~

RC Boat Company Wing Assembly and upright mounting. All 3 wing parts have packing foam sheet cores for floatation. Upright bases have G10 slide in sheaths bonded in. Blue masking tape is used throughout the build to keep exterior surfaces clear of excess glue~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hydro Strut `G10 Wet Box' fabricated with a hardwood base is bonded, fastened to the hull bottom and transom. This is a long strut setup on offset driveline, angle-depth adjustment bolt will offer ease of access at deck surface. Faux`Turbine Exhaust' tube will hide any strut hardware proud of the deck.Last edited by K.R.Joye; 04-10-2018, 09:27 AM.~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~
