Skydiver 6 foot new build.

Took the nose off and adjusted it, then put it back on, Now I'm thinking that the gun pods need to be a tad slimmer before going back on.

Cheers Mark, The big one is an FG Monster truck, the smaller one is an XTM XST

Beautiful, I can tell that all the way from over here. That nitro powered buggy on the shelf. What is it? Traxxas?

[RCnut]

Well Here it is, I can say that I am now happy with it After 2 weeks of filling,sanding etc. Only minor scratches left to fill now.

[RCnut]

Right! Apart from some minor adjustments left to do on the top of the back end I think its there, As you can see I have sharpened up the lines on the side pods and the nose end of Diver has been adjusted and I'm happy with the result.

[RCnut]

Did some corrections ie leveled out the top deck and the lower deck (Did more after this shot was taken) Slowly getting there.

[RCnut]

It is, Trust me. At the moment I'm doing a lot of filling and sanding and adjusting to get it nice and smooth I will only do this one once so I want to make sure its right.

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention" and it sounds............necessary.

[RCnut]

Hmmmm, After thinking about it for a good long while im tempted to just go for surface running and a wtc to make it dive. The performance of the 5 footer from the 2 Jets was fast enough. Theres plenty of access from the top demonstrated by the fact I had my head in it yesterday :) And plenty of room inside for multiple cylinders....Motors etc.

[greenman407]

Mamas, refresh my memory. Is this one going to Dive or is it going to be for "Seaskim"?

[RCnut]

Engines will be removable and will have the fins attached, the idea is that the lower fin will slot into the main hull and the inside will slot into the horizontal fin between the tail. This will enable me to transport without risk of damage.

Hello All, Latest Update, I spent almost 2 days re fitting the forward exhaust vents, only 10 each side :) Just a few more holes to cut and then start thinking about RC gear etc.

[RCnut]

First Wet and dry done, Forward vents to be replaced now.

[RCnut]

Looking a bit Sharper, Wanna get it all nice and smooth before I start cutting holes in it.

[RCnut]

Did a bit more in tha last few days. and heres what it looks like tonight, Almost all Pacific waves filled and sanded. Bit more to do tho. Oh and 2 home made dremels as my "proper" one gave up the ghost.
