I am refurbishing an old Roadrunner 60 and could really use the help of a builder here!
I am first working on the insides:
Before - broken servo mounts, brittle epoxy and oak mounts, crystal foam rubber, missing lip for lid, gooey and hardened seals.
Then a putty knife and the AMAZING Black & Decker Mouse sander, some wood strips, CA and Epoxy:
FIRST FEW QUESTIONs: What about the DU-BRO throttle linkage? Will it leak? Should I change to something else?
Next, I don't know what to do with this!?!
I think the Tub is covered with monocoat plastic - is that typical? Should I take it off and paint?
ALSO - on the small (.18-.21) hydroplanes, the bottom really affects speed and is blueprinted and detailed - Nothing like this could be tolerated. Does it not affect the .60 Rigger? The 'plastic ripple', metal washer, and screw head are above the surface. WHAT SHOULD I DO (if anything)?
Thanks for any help you can give me - shooting for putting it on the water tomorrow!
