occre r/c ulises


John Allen

Recommended Posts

Taking a break from shrouds. Have been looking at Occres R/C tug ulises for next build.

 

 Will make as a static build, maybe r/c.

 

They state it has a fiberglass hull. Taking in the translation problems on foreign suppliers can someone advise if it is a thin cheap plastic or fiberglass.

 

Thanks John

John-

 

I built the OcCre Ulises Tug for R/C back in 2009 (she's in the Gallery).  She has a plank on bulkhead hull.  Of course there's every possibility that they've modified the kit but I can't seem to find a fiberglass version.

Augie & Jan,

 

I thought I left dumb at home but picked up dumber. I had that confused with another rc build I was looking at, had looked at the occre site numerous times. Drank to much water :(

 

Thanks for the replies

Depends on what didn't come with the kit. Do you have the drive shafts commonly known as stuffing boxs or tubes, rudders, motor(s) electronic speed controller, servo and battery. You can easily add any where from $150.00-$200.00 to the cost of the build. You will also need to make that decision quite quickly because you will need to seal the interior of the hull while you can gain access, you will also have to fiberglass cloth and resin the hull to water proof it.

 

To me, I would build it as R/C operation even if you don't install running gear, just in case someone else wants to make it operational.
