Hello!
I am about to begin my Grail project again now that I have a real work space to build it in. Finally moved out of that one room apartment! (BTW I'm married now!
)
But before I begin to sculpt the foam I need a few pointers on the fiberglass. What is best to use? What pound cloth? What resin? And, most especially, how thick will the hull be? That is very important since I want this boat to be as near 72nd scale as possible.
I have tried again and again to build this sub but have failed for one reason or another. The last attempt was the closest but I am convinced that if I finished that particular hull it would be too heavy to do anything more than sink once it was rigged for R/C.
Most of you know what I want to build. But for any newbies lurking about, here is a link to my dream: The NAUTILUS.
As always, any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. But I really need to know how thick the hull will be so I can subtract that from the hull's diameter.
