Getting started in 1/10 scale hydros

[R.J.West]

Hello every one,

I am in the process of building my first 1/10 scale hydro. i am building a shovel nose hydro. (Div I.) To be built according to the rules by Classic Thunder.

what i like to know is exactally what rudder assembly do I need, and if i have to make my own turn fin, or does someone make those? I also will be running a Cordite SS1 motor with a solid drive shaft. What strut would i be using? And finally, I really do need a plastic ABS cowl. Can someone please sell me one or two?

I need a cowl for a ´67 Atlas van lines with the exposed engine. ( I have the dummy motor ). Thanks...

Thanks for the input, I am interested in the 1/10 scale Plastic cowl I saw on the osbornmodelkits link. I also am interested in the drive kit intended for their Miss canada III hydro. However the drive kit is in 1/12 scale, It includes the drive shaft and strut rudder ect. I wonder if I could use it for a 1/10 scale hydro? Iam mostly interested in the strut and rudder in that kit. I wonder if i could use it. I dont see why not. Thanks.
