Andrewiscookin Posted Saturday at 11:49 PM #1 Posted Saturday at 11:49 PM (edited) I have began working on this and should be done glueing the frames together this is my third build and biggest yet. I will be making this RC and I’m setting my finish date for opening day for boating here in Seattle (May 3rd) so I have a bit of work to get done and and may have some questions along the way. I have not seen anyone post much further than just glueing the frames together so if anyone has done a similar build please show me thank you day 1 frames glue. Don’t mind the plaid wax paper it is all I could find but it’s slightly helpful lining things up Edited Sunday at 05:48 PM by ccoyle corrected log title JacquesCousteau, yvesvidal, Scott Crouse and 5 others 8
Andrewiscookin Posted Sunday at 05:12 AM Author #2 Posted Sunday at 05:12 AM I just couldn’t stop at that today and have just kept on going this is going together pretty smoothly nice straight and square. That will be all for today, will be stringers. Paul Le Wol, schooner, ccoyle and 2 others 5
Paul Le Wol Posted Sunday at 12:30 PM #3 Posted Sunday at 12:30 PM Looking good Andrew. There are builds of Miss Adventure at “rcuniverse.com” and “ rcgroups .com” .

Andrewiscookin Posted Monday at 06:28 AM Author #4 Posted Monday at 06:28 AM Was another very long day working on this one and I got it all strung and ready to be faired a bit. Another first doing stringers and soaked in alcohol to get it to bend maybe not the easiest way but it worked for the most part like ya of clamps and rubber bands. About 20 hours working on this in two days has been a lot of work but I could not be any happier schooner, Bryan Woods, vossiewulf and 2 others 5
Andrewiscookin Posted Monday at 07:37 AM Author #5 Posted Monday at 07:37 AM Ordered some 1/16th basswood sheets to lay under the plankin that is not in the instructions but what I’ve seen others do to better waterproof thanks for the heads up on that other build I haven seen much information Paul Le Wol 1
yvesvidal Posted Monday at 12:59 PM #6 Posted Monday at 12:59 PM Nice kit. I had never seen it before. I will be following with a lot of interest. Yves Paul Le Wol 1
gsdpic Posted Monday at 01:40 PM #7 Posted Monday at 01:40 PM Looking good! The frames and stringers all look very stout. You mentioned the basswood sheets…do the instructions just have it single planked? That would seem a little questionable for an RC boat. The one Dumas mahogany speed boat I built long ago was double planked with balsa and mahogany. - Gary Current Build: Bluejacket Friendship Sloop Completed Builds: Blue Jacket America 1/48th Annapolis Wherry Artesania Latina Sopwith Camel Fujimi Dino 246GT Tamiya Lotus 49 Tamiya Lotus 72D Tamiya Lotus 78 Tamiya Porsche 917 (x2) Revell Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2
Andrewiscookin Posted Monday at 02:32 PM Author #8 Posted Monday at 02:32 PM It is single layer mahogany the way it comes so that’s why I’ll be adding the sheets. I am still very new to this so taking suggestions
