Well after several years of building, and writing about building, RC (radio control) sailboats, I'm finally ready to try my hand at an RC hydroplane! I now know enough about RC sailboats to know that I know very little... but I can still make a pretty decent sailboat. But I really know nothing about RC hydroplanes, so this will be a very steep learning curve. I'm looking forward to it!
The boat I will be building will be either the 1/8th scale Miss Thriftway or the Miss Wahoo. Either way, the kit is from ML Boatworks.Specifically I'm making his 1/8th scale hull kit 105-A. However, I am so new to this that I am trying to figure out how the various hull numbers and designs work. My intention was to build the Miss Wahoo, and the hulls appear very similar, but the numbers are not the same so now I'm confused.
So I'm either making this:
Or this:
Regardless, I've started construction on hull kit 105, and when I get an official ruling from either Newton or ML Boatworks as to exactly what in the hell I'm making, I'll then know which boat I'm actually going to end up with!
So far I've only epoxy laminated the transom and two ends of the sponsons.
More later as I figure this all out. LOADS to learn!
Aloha!
