              Ronnie,
              I had my Trumpeter

              Ronnie,
              I had my Trumpeter with the reverse RCAB from David Welch at the regatta. It is on the tail end of that link Kevin posted.
              Pretty much everything is there. I lack finishing the wiring it and putting the wtc in, then throwing it in the water.
              I have been taking my time while working on some other off-board projects, and quite pleased with the satisfaction of building my own wtc.
              You will enjoy the build. Figuring it out is half the fun.
              A little extra time for detail pays off big time also.

                You know wayne that link

                You know wayne that link is probably the most encompassing one out there for that boat considering it shows two ways to make the boat using the two most popular cylinders. You need to make a kilo to keep the trend up!

                  My Kilo hull is the

                  My Kilo hull is the 1/96 Manely. So, it will be larger than the Trumpeter Kilo. And, it will be an Alrosa.
                  But before I get to that, I have lessons to learn on the next project in que, which will be a one -of-a-kind, and not be revealed as to it's unique nature until it is half built. It will be some time for that one.
                  But they will all be reverse RCAB, after studying what I have seen so far. Unless, I go with one of Gail Phillips custom tank systems, which are nothing short of impressive.
                  But the little Seawolf, and showing two different ways of building it, is a good thread. I have tried to show all the little things. If there are any questions after what all we posted, it is because you have not started on it yet!!
