Hi Guys

I want to build the Mini Mono (one of the boats in the downloads page).
This is my first build so I don't really know what to do. The plan shows
no bulkheads or templates for any of the parts. Is there another way to
do it or am I just missing something?

Thanks
Sean

Improvise by using 1/8" balsa stringers from bow to transom in a bow
fashion like ribs and then take 1/8" balsa and make your frame. Now
what it would look like is a umbrella without the cloth. I wish i could
get the mini-mono but my computer has windows and it will download but
stops there. I've built many and the one that stands out is the
Electrafied. Now it runs on 6 cells and a car motor in the 13/3 range
with a 632 prop. Radio Control Boat Modeller magazine has the plans.
I'm going to try again and get the plans for the Mini-Mono. Later!

I've done a mirror for the plans if it helps:
http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/boats/
there's the archive or the jpg's that are inside

Another option is to pick your favourite hull plans and shrink them down
to your liking. I will be doing another wild thing in this fashion,
probably at around 18 inches for kicks and run it on some airplane
gear. They are small, really zippy and a lot of fun not to mention
very portable.

Ok, the cut down version of the Wild Thing is on the site of microhydros
and built by Reed Eagle of USA and is under the Australian Flag of
Andrew Gilchrist. I built one with the help of Reed Eagle about 4 years
ago. Reed Eagle lives in Florida. ----- Oh yes, the Mini-mono makes
it hard to build. My suggestion is to buy plans for the Electrafied at
22" from RCBM site. U won't be guessing then on interior parts. This is
my last post as my computer has Windows and will not accept those plans
of this site. Good Luck with the boats.

i can't understand why you can't get the plans.. i'm running Windows
(Vista and XP)
Try downloading Firefox, its less twitchy about downloading ZIP files..
I'd also recommend turning off UAC on Vista if you know a little bit
about PC's

Theres no viruses in the archive and i'm quite happy to offer
alternative mirrors if theres anything you want

mirror worked for me(although I can only open the jpg files, I don't have a
cad viewer). would guess its a security setting that is causing problems.
