Re: OTW TYPE XXIII
love that boat.
nice work so far.
curious about your split line; did you ever consider a hatch instead of a longitudinal split of the hull?Comment

Crowman....LOVE that beautiful WTC. Where did you get it? It's orders of magnitude better with the thin acrylic or Lexan endcaps and bulkheads than the more traditional units.Comment

Re: OTW TYPE XXIII
Chuck,
That's an OTW dive module. It's an ARF (almost ready to float) module...just drop in your servos and receiver and it's ready to go.

This is how I got the hull from Robert molded in two pieces top and bottom.

Yeah, Bob creates a long split like that.Sam,

But you can saw through the top and attach a section at the bow and stern to the lower hull, and you have a smaller hatch. It's a preference thing, I guess. I like your pin alignment to keep the hull halves registered.Comment

Re: OTW TYPE XXIII
Hi Sam,
I did split the rudder section from the rest, and I may split the front off also as you stated to make a smaller hatch.
