    Scott Don said anyone that is interested in any of his kits to send me a message and I will give you his personal phone number. Dave thanks for your help. I should have the Golf done next week. You will like how it turns out. All the flood holes in the sail and hull will be molded into the kit parts so it will be easy to drill and file those out so you won't have to lay out those flood holes out yourself. Also the shaft stuffing tube is cast into the stern planes. I also resin cast all the 3/32 brass torque rods into the bow planes,stern planes and rudder. Easy peezy

      Damn……Here we go again 3/32....you guys have to implement the metric system.
      Everybody over here (in the rest of the world LOL) in possession of an SD will have separate boxes with imperial stuff to keep her running.
      Next time somethings comes up the SD will be converted to the metric system for sure.

          We Imperial users can't help it if the rest of the world is screwed up.

            We scewedup?

            Smallest measurement is you have 1 THOU,
            1000 thou is 1 inch,
            12 inches is 1 foot,
            3 feet is 1 yard,

            And then the almost forgotten CHAIN, 22 yards is 1 chain,
            Oh, wait we have also a FURLONG, 10 chains is 1 furlong,

            Then we come back to “normal”, 10 furlongs makes 1 mile (a land mile that is, sea miles are a different story).

            Than it starts to get awkward again we arrive to the LEAGUE, 3miles is 1 league

            It is very consistent as you can see it uses……it uses….hell I don’t know, it uses all kind of stuff to count the order of magnitude.
            It even uses 10 to go from furlongs to chains, that is easy isn’t it, you’re on the right track keep it up

            Medicine is already turned around to the metric system, and for conversions from metric to the imperial system doctors are using fruit, ok that makes sence.

              OK live long and prosper. Talked to Don last night and he said he has 1/72 Charlie I kit ready to ship. Is 1/72 metric? I sent out Don's phone number to people that wanted it.

                    Question is are your fingers metric sized? That's an idea. Instead telling chics my junk is in inches I can tell them in the metric size.

                        You forgot the Rods and Perches! Equals 5.5 yards or 1/320 of a statute mile.

                            Only one thing worse then the metric system and that is driving on the wrong side of the road

                              OK all the flood holes filed out. Some more in bottom of hull not shown in pics. Man I swear if I have to drill and file one more Russian submarine flood hole I am going to give myself a frontal lobotomy. Then I can sit at my build table like a piece of zucchini.

                                Only three countries in the world aren't metric, usa, Myanmar and Liberia, you guys are in a select group.
