Drive Components and Rudder
Make up the servo tray from parts shown in
the drawing. Rudder tube 56 (included with
rudder assembly) should protrude 2-3 mm
from underside of hull.
Precisely 40 mm from the transom drill a 4 mm hole for
rudder tube 56 into the underside of the hull. Do not use
the original marking! Enlarge the hole to 5 mm.
Cut openings in the underside of the hull for propeller shaft
and supports.
Make up the motor mount from parts 14, 15 and 16 (arrows on part 14
face up). Install motor on motor mount and use coupling 17 to connect
propeller shaft 18 to motor.
Remove nut and spacer from propeller shaft and insert shaft through
opening in hull.
From the outside slide supports on prop shaft: first single support 19,
then two-piece support 20.
Test fit complete driveline into the hull, making sure that motor mount
assembly has good contact with bottom of hull.
Note: Prop shaft ends approx. 120 mm short of transom.
Thoroughly glue drive line components into hull using 5 minute epoxy

Apply glue around the hole in the hull and insert
rudder tube 56 in hole. Glue the servo tray assembly
into the hull.
Note: Glue rudder tube and servo tray assembly to
the hull simultaneously!
Install spacer and nut on propeller shaft and protect prop shaft thread
with tape or a short piece of silicone tubing. Do not install prop yet.
Seal brass tube 56 with epoxy glue from the outside. Remove excess
glue immediately with methylated spirits!
Cockpit
Apply two coats of primer to all cockpit parts while still fixed in
the laser cut mahogany panel (lightly sand between coats).
For best results use cyano to glue cockpit parts together. Epoxy
glue does not bond reliably to parts treated with primer.
Assemble and glue together cockpit parts 21 to 29. Carefully
cut out cockpit opening in GRP hood.
Drill 2 mm holes for exhaust system at positions
indicated on the hood. Open up the 6 holes for
the exhaust manifold to 4 mm. Test-fit the cockpit
assembly into the GRP hood. When done, remove
the cockpit and apply clear varnish for a shiny
appearance.
Again, position cockpit in hood and secure with
tape. Tack-glue in position with cyano, then glue
permanently with epoxy. Use glue sparingly along
the cockpit to make room for the coaming.
