      Just for Ss&Gs I'd throw the receiver a 4aa battery pack and a servo in the carbon hull on the bench to see how attenuating CRP is to 75mhz ..we all know it wont pass 2.4G but is it truly a block to old school FM.

        All the same, although its 40mhz in my case.

          Ah! Safety track!! That could maybe work, if the antenna wire is small diameter enough. Good luck! Still think the 'scope is best/easiest for the application, though.

            Hi! Though i had only little time to spend building, i managed to apply another coat of (self-mixed) fibre-enforced resin over the filler. After curing i removed larger excess with 80' wet and then placed a strip of 0,5mm styrene over the unfilled hull contour just besides the filler that would keep the distance between sanding block and paper just to make sure i sand down to a continuus radius. I also cut out the styrene "skeleton" for the small passways both sides of the sail that will be pinned into place and backed up with filler and weave.

              More progress :

              The styrene template has been finished and glued with CA to the well-roughened and alcohol-cleaned sides of the sail. Afterwards initiall filling with fine-filler, thinned with a dash of resin. The top coat will be fibre-enhanced filler and maybe some light glass.

                Today i continued on the sail. After checking the 1710' pictures i found the deck not blending into the hull but creating a clear edge so there was no more filling over necessary. Instead i ground the filler just back to the outer profile of the template and had the look almost right. Some rinsing with alcohol (not my throat) and pulling along some nitrofiller, followed by some more fine filler. I had some filler left over that went into the fin's fillets. Sail will need to be lowered slightly, after sanding the hull will receive grey primer.

                      Starting to shape up. This thing will go like blazes once you unleash the speed-controller.

                        Jupp. The grey paint will help spotting uneven areas and symmetrie checking.

                        Cold here, last sunny afternoons so i need to hurry up with the basic resin works. Have to wait until tomorrow so i can finish sanding.

                          That sail shape is not easy to replicate!

                          A solution to produce even "channels" for the planes to rotate without binding: insert shaft, put over a proper piece of tube and sanding paper and start...grinding.

                          Bored from all that "grinding", i finished another project: recycling our old kitchen chairs. One was turned into our 3y boy's bench. Another into our 5y girl's gardening table. I made a new stand for my boats.

                          My wife got new chairs afterall!

                          Still unsatisfied with that bl***y sail, i made some ingenious papercard templates grom those miserable downloaded sketches i have and had some good deal of grinding-again.

                          In the end, after inhaling all that nasty dust i came to deciding i cannot have that yunkyard look anymore. Let's paint that thing!

                          Seriously, the upper hull was roughenend up using 1200' grit and then washed with alcohol. Afterwards, grey primer was sprayed on so i can finally see what i am doing. And blame me, the sail is still wrong!

                          Mr. Merriman, i need some of that unicorn pee!

                            From what was the worst, vile looking collision of varied substrates, glue smears, and tool-marks... emerges a stunning butterfly!

                            The magic of a unifying coat of light-colored primer well demonstrated sir. Invigorating, isn't it?

                            Sure. It still has flaws, but now they are more apparent, and will soon suffer your terrible wrath.

                            The Commie Speed-Demon is coming to life.

                            Go get 'em, Tiger!

                              Errors identified! More s-curve to the front, more "hunchback" to the stern. Meanwile i found some nice footage:
