Hi all

I used to race.. well tried to race , small fast electrics.. the
nearest i can find as an example is the Stinger now..

I'd like to take a step up and build my own boat, something a bit
bigger, can you recommend a plan? it needs to be electric as we can't
run IC's at my local club unfortunately

I've built balsa planes and a PT boat from plans so curvy hulls aren't
a problem :)

Oh and something not easy to sink! I neglected to learn to swim.. i was
off school that day :eek:

great site :) love the boat with the jet turbine stuck on its a**.. oh
if only i had and unlimited bank account

There are plans for a wild thing on this site, I cannot recommend them
enough as both an easy build and a great stable hull. The plans are
for a 48 inch version however being that I run electric also I got the
cad version of the plans shrunk down to 26inches so that I could run a
540 brushless successfully.
As long as you put a lot of floatation in the bow, you shouldn't get
any sinking problems. One of the best bits of kit that you can buy if
you are running f/e boats is either an inflatable boat for retrieval or
join a club where they will have a boat on hand.

Luckily the club does have a recovery boat, unfortunately the club uses
an old reservoir and boats do get last from time to time, usually the
fast expensive ones :( , they do have a problem with underwater plant
life, and divers are few and far between in northern England lol

Yes I like the Wild Thing also the Pay N Pak boat, both seem very do
able with the experience/budget i have
