Jparsley Posted June 9, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Saw this in the store and figured my little girl needed a more grown up boat than the dingy Sorry for the late build on the log but figured up to this point everyone gets the point I find the most interesting is they tell you to glue the rudder to the stern post Didn't sit well with me so I tried a little engenering Hope it looks good to you guys Edited June 9, 2015 by Jparsley hexnut, mischief and yvesvidal 3 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexnut Posted June 12, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 12, 2015 I have no idea who that is but thank you for the great complement https://www.muldowney.com/ She had a very long and successful career in top fuel 1/4 mile drag-racing. Probably a bit more force than you want to subject your nice little sailboat to, but inspirational none the less.... Your CBF is coming together really well...
