20 whiplash

[Roxyflash]

I build one for Ray along time ago for electric had some frames left over cause he wanted the center sealed so I traced and cut the rest of frames been stashed away in basement for over 10 years I believe.Got my gas whiplash finished got bored and started the build.Need the skins so I will either buy some ply or I contacted Blazer for pieces I need.Got a slight twist so I took my small table saw and turned it into a jig to hold it straight.

Aliitle update was glueing on top skins had it clamped to table saw unclamped the rear and it did a nose dive to concrete with clamps on the sponsons buggered the tips good so I rounded them off made a homemade engine mount got a little off on bottom skin by center where you slit the ply and used some filler in the gap

Ready for warm weather made a homemade tank first one no good soldering iron wasn’t big enough found another one in bottom of tool box big Bertha takes awhile to heat but once it’s there good to go.Turned out ok.The front exhaust motors are tight to fit and exhaust doesn’t leave much room but got it done.Made a outlet for transom exhaust.Used mini and micro servos leaves enough room to get battery in and out without taking anything apart.Made a turn fin see how it does.
