GRACEFUL AND SWIFT

Graceful and swift motorboat is an excellent educational model for aspiring shipbuilders. Work on bliss allows you to develop basic skills that will be required in the manufacture of sports cars of high class. With these boats, if they do, you can arrange competitions; it is only necessary to equip them with outboard electromotorically and to provide a place for mounting a battery from a pocket lantern.

 

Having studied the drawing, transfer the outlines of parts on plywood or thick cardboard. Carefully saw out of them.

 

To cut a keel from bow to stern, insert the glue in accordance with the numbers of the processed frames. Then make and glue the stringers, which gives the boat strength in the longitudinal direction. First glue the long strips along the outside corners, then the bottom and last of all along the deck. Take care of the symmetry of the housing about the longitudinal axis. To do this, carefully check and correct the position of the frames relative to the keel while the glue is still wet. Then the frame body tightly tie with twine or wire and let it dry completely.

 

Polished all the seams and edges with sandpaper, you will get a ready-made frame. Next stage. Carefully cut the lining first, glue on the lower part of the boat — bottom, and then the sides. The most vulnerable places in the nose, stern and side seams inside again promazhte glue or varnish to provide watertightness.

 

 

 

 

Cut out of thin plywood parts and deck add-ons. In the deck before gluing, drill and punch holes for add-ins. After drying, smoothen the junction of the deck to the hull. Now it is time to place on the deck of a pre-fabricated superstructure.

 

Finally, cut out exactly to spec a support for the outboard engine for the boat and glue them in the appropriate slots on the transom of the boat.

 

The finished model again, carefully grind the very thin glass skin, clear it from the remnants of chips and glue and cover in one or two layer of clear nitro lacquer. For competitions on the direct distance as the engine can use a serial motor on 4.5 V And if you put it transceiving apparatus and a motor with shaft and propeller and rudder, the boat can participate in the competition models figure chart.
