Both bottom halves taped and weighted.
Radio box parts. Rear of box on left.
Joining sides. Short sides go between long.
Glue the other side of the bottom sheeting on
the same way as the first, only this time you
can’t use clamps.
Tape the crap out of it, put weights on it, and
look under the boat to be sure that the bottom is
touching bulkheads 3, 4, 5 and the engine rails.
Let’s build the radio box while the glue cures on
the hull.
Radio Box
Remove all of the radio box parts: Two long
sides, two short sides, the top and bottom.
Note that the kit comes with a 1/8 ply top and
lid. This is the actual radio box top. Keep this
away from the radio box during assembly, and
only get the lid after the box is assembled and
ready for it.
The radio box lid frame and lid fit inside each
other with a tiny clearance all around.
The top with lid and the regular top look
identical, but they are not interchangeable.
If you mix them up, you will have a worthless
radio box.
Sand all the parts smooth with 80.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap or waxed paper on
your bench.
The radio box must be assembled correctly, as
the pushrod holes are pre-drilled.
The rudder pushrod hole is higher than the
throttle.
Lay out the parts of the box as shown.
Both pushrod holes are on the same side of the
box, and towards the top.
Using CA, glue the two small sides to the two
long sides.
The small sides go between the long ones.
