There's one Atlas and 3 Roundnose kits left. I am thinking of doing "Short" kits where I supply laser-cut plywood parts only along with templates for the balsa parts and an equipment list.
Usually hydroplane boats make a right turn so the turn fin holds the boat in a right hand turn. A Hydro is Designed and Built to do 1 Thing and that's Race around an Oval Track As Fast As Possible in 1 direction, you could put 2 turn fins on the hydroplane and that would give you the ability to turn left & right, but the fins would fight each other and possibly slow you down.
Your thumbnail looked like you were building a snow sled . Then I see it next to your hand. It’s frickin tiny. Don’t cut your nut plate. That sounds painful 😣
Thumbs up on the thin CA!!
Is the peace in bulkhead c the Servo mount? The center peace?
Looks fun I want one!

Boat is looking good and coming together nicely👍Very well made kit💪❤️
Thanks brother. Yes sir it's been fun building this little rocket
A little water proofing before putting on the deck skins will help the hull last a long time
Roger that. Thank for the tip.
Good work-around on the doubler.....
I know it's not the right way, I glued the nut plate DOWN for good and didn't want to mess anything up. Lol. It should work.
@@IRONCLADRC That's 100% cool. A bit more effort, but cool nonetheless..........
Save time with sanding dust. Prefill with a lite dusting of baking soda.
Yea, I've got a old spice bottle that I put baking soda in I use it all the time. Thanks brother.
Got a question, I noticed that you and doc are using out runner motors. Is that to counter the torque of the prop or would an I runner work also
Yea, you can run an inrunner. Boat runs good either way
Might be a dumb question, but why is there only one turn fin needed?

Why no info on where to get the kit?
