New build: AC R42
Written by Eirik on February 1st, 2009 - 23:29
The planning of the new AC R42 build has been going on for a while in my head. It has unfortunately taken a good time to get hold of all the parts that I wanted to use on the boat. I have cleaned up and reorganise my workshop and everything is now in place to step up a notch on the build.
I haven’t decided which radiobox to use; the one that comes with the boat, one from Modellbau Center Lorenz, or a combination of my own glassfiber box and the flange from the box from Modellbau Center Lorenz. I really like the flange from Lorenz with the o-ring as a gasket …
The tune pipe is the same as I use on my other boats, a Jeroen tune pipe. The rudder system is from Speedmasters and the strut and strut bracket is from MTC. I have also bought the engine, what I will use is … (you just have to wait and see).
Thanks to Dom again for supplying the hull and Jeroen for the tune pipe and tips.
