    Gordon,

    what a wonderful example of shipbuilding! It reminds me of a TV filler way back in the late 1950s which featured a radio controlled British 6" cruiser, with firing guns to bootlaugh.gif

    Some years ago I built a 3 foot version of PT109. One had to construct the hull upside down and I can well remember the hours spent fitting and shaping the side planks. And the endless sanding.

    Unfortunately I was talked into getting a "hot" motor for it and not only did that require modifications, the heavy duty battery meant that the transom was almost underwater.

    I still have it and fantasize about putting it in my dam and letting rip with my shotgun. But after removing the RC stuff of course.
