Since we’re going sailing tomorrow, it seems sensible to get the Tomkat we are building for the Knightcote Model Boat Club competition ready for testing.
The Tomkat is a ready built jetski type boat. The builder has to fit radio gear, battery and speed control into the craft and go racing. The bits are a tight squeeze in the central hull but they do go in. You can just see from the photo how it all fits – fortunately the instructions give some hint and a similar shot to guide builders.
The narrow space at the top is for the battery, which is currently on charge. The plastic hull has to flex slightly to get it onboard but hopefully not too badly. I certainly hope not anyway, as I don’t want the paint cracking once I’ve finished it.
Assuming all is well tomorrow, the next task will be to paint the boat and fit a driver.
