AKRYPTO Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted July 13, 2022 I'm Not happy with the gauge of the mast work, will probably re do it at some point, it's about a mm to thick me thinks. Canute and lmagna 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted July 13, 2022 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2022 A nice start, mate. I agree the mast looks just a tad heavy - especially given that when finished with all its bits and pieces it will look even thicker.

AKRYPTO Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted July 23, 2022 First acceptance Sea trials for Nuship Gawler. A successful run (she didn't sink) A bit of weight issue to address. I'm running 2* 2200mah 2s Lipo at 268g combined. I will find some smaller battery under 100g. Probably overpowered the twin Diesel MTU's push her through the water at a great rate of knots. mtaylor, NavyShooter, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
