Thank you for sharing.. Brutus!

I wonder what mommah was saying??

If it was my wife it would go something like this....

"Finally he gets that stupid engine running so I can record his silly boat.
I could be out shopping with my girl friends but no! Today I get some
free time on my weekend and I have to be here.. pan over to her face
see how happy I am not? Do you see my pain.."

actually (I am not fluent in the language) she says something about "wow it is actually running, and pretty fast", and she complains a bit about the sun (remarkably enough, a dark skin is very NOT desirable in her culture)...

one more side to go... even though it's Pacer 2k 30 minutes it must dry hard longer so progress is slow to my standard of building... I remember when we did not have these glues than it was even longer wait...

So far so good... used 5 minute epoxy for the front deck since clamping became difficult there so holding in place with both hands until dry... Only now did I notice I will have to make some fixture so the engine can turn left/right since there is no provision on these engines to do so... It can be seen on the video's of f.e rapmoz but not really close-up and that is why I did not make a final cut out at the back panel... I did some searching for a scheme of such a device on the net but cannot find anything... I can make something that will work of course but maeby some of you do have a simple drawing as I presume there was no specific rc aftermarket kit for this or was there ? It's been fun so far building this thing... simple when compared to my Blériot I built some years ago.......

Cute little boat....

You will have to innovate an RC setup.

No big deal the Blériot and all the hardware was more of a challenge
than this boat will ever be.

One can see more pics of the Blériot on my website... just click my name Reginald Luycx on Google... the site is due for an update... Morgan and 911 both sold...

Thank you for sharing good pics but do you have a vid of it flying?

I find no video's of any projects online. You need a simple sport cam
and mount to a ball cap it's what I do these days so I can enjoy my
field tests and to help do analyse to improve them.

I did explain that in post 26... I may see friend Danny tomorrow at the Moonraker rc club swapmeet
and enough on airplanes as this is a boating thread after all... my fault

yes every single piece was handmade even the spoked wheels...
wood used is ash
but nowadays one can get an exact scale kit from Paolo Severin in Italy
click the name on Google if you like...

He indeed produce wonderful scale kit, large scale and priced accordingly!

Would be even better with a scale Anzani engine

Hi Guys, Here are the plans for the Speed Liner boat that was made for the Atwood, Wenmac and Sea Fury outboard motors in the fifties. Gary

been busy with many other things only had time to cut new side deck panels and now gluing them in place...

First making the steerable engine suspension now...

Getting there it is taking shape now, well done!





Saw this vid tons of good outboard powered boats.
