Dauntless motor yacht 1245mm

Sparkman " Stephens is one of the most successful American companies dedicated to the construction and construction of sailboats and motor yachts. Their vessels picked up a number of cups from the most renowned competitions, such as the America's Cup or the extra harsh regatta of Sydney - Hobart. Dauntless is a luxury motor yacht with a length of 66 feet (about 22 m) for coastal transport, fun cruises and other fun of users with reasonably fatty accounts. A pair of engines up to 1500HP provides maximum speeds of over 40 knots.

A luxury 1:10 scale motor yacht kit to drive two 500 series electric motors for advanced builders. Due to the high processing of most parts, the building is not particularly demanding for skill and workshop equipment - but of course the careful and patient work in shipbuilding is necessary to achieve a good result. For bonding, you will need a medium and dense second glue, "acetone" modeling glue, epoxy and glue for bonding plastic models. The actual construction is based on drawings on a reduced scale and perspective drawings showing in detail the construction of the given part of the ship. Making macroblocks makes pre-printed 1: 1 templates easy.

The fuselage consists of a skeleton of pre-cut parts of plywood made of light Filipino mahogany, the backbone of which forms longitudinal and keel with glued ribs - they are mounted directly on a straight worktop in the "upside-down" position thanks to the mounting ribs on the ribs. The body of the hull is supplemented with a mahogany plywood; More complex curvature on the part of the bow is made with the help of linden planes. The superstructure is one of the pre-cut parts of birch and mahogany plywood.

Machete accessories are made up of a range of brass wire and tube sections cast from white metal, wood, and plastics. If you have plenty of flavor and persistence, you can continue to improve the model almost indefinitely." . It's up to you how you care about your job ...

For the propulsion of the ship, 2 500 or 600 series electric motors (not included in the kit) are powered by one or two six-cell NiMH or NiCd accumulators (for example, six cells for RC cars 1:10). Boat Shafts with Housings and Clutch are also required to buy - Dumas supplies a special set # 2332 (including 2 shafts with housings and their holders, cardan clutches, 2 metal rudders with pulls and levers) for this model. This kit can also be used if you decide to propel the ship with two 2.5-3.5 ccm internal combustion engines. Also suitable are domestic compact shafts with direct clutch and motor mounting flange. For maximum use of engine power and long cruise when using large capacity batteries, we recommend refilling engine water cooling. All at least two-channel RC sets, one or two bi-directional electronic speed controllers of at least 30A (depending on the engine) and one standard rudder servo are sufficient to control the ship. If you use two controllers, you can of course increase the maneuverability of the ship by independently controlling the speed of both engines (manually or using the rudder-engine mix if you have a multichannel computer RC kit).

The kit includes: pre-cut plywood parts, pre-cut parts made of mahogany and birch plywood, linden plates, cast metal parts and other maker accessories, building plan containing a three-layered drawing of the boat, building instructions.
