Chris-Craft is the oldest American motor boat manufacturer, whose history dates back to 1874, when the thirteen-year-old founder of Christopher Smith built the first wooden boat. His products soon became synonymous with high-quality and luxurious boats that did not burn mahogany, teak, chrome metal parts, and other exotic materials were bought by Henry Ford Callable, print magnate Hearst, Katharine Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, or Elvis Presley.
The 16-foot sport utility model "Utility" from 1947 belongs today to the most popular and unprecedented American veterans. Characteristic for him are simple and efficient lines originating in LCPR large-capacity (over 12,000!) Motor boats for the US Army and US Navy.
A luxury 1: 8 luxury speedboat kit for 500-horsepower electric drives for advanced builders. Due to the high processing of most parts, building is not particularly demanding for skill and workshop equipment - but of course careful and patient work in shipbuilding is necessary to achieve a good result. For bonding, you will need a medium and heavy duty adhesive, "acetone" modeling adhesive, epoxy and glue for bonding plastic models. The actual construction is based on drawings on diminished scale, perspective drawings depicting the detail of the construction of the given part of the ship, and there is also an annex with 83 photographs documenting the construction step by step. Making Macro details makes it easy to make preprinted templates in a 1: 1 scale.
The fuselage consists of a skeleton of pre-cut parts made of birch plywood, the spine of which forms longitudinal and a keel with glued ribs - it is built on the straight workbench in the "upside-down" position thanks to the mounting ribs on the ribs. The correct setting of the ribs is helped by other pre-cut preparations and templates" The ostrus hull is complemented by an inner birch plywood, which you then overlay with thin and equally easily flexible mahogany plains. The outer cladding of the deck is again made of mahogany sheets.
The sculptures are made up of a range of brass wire parts cast from white metal, wood and plastics. If you have enough flavor and endurance, you can further improve the model eg by adding leather seat cushions, steering wheel ... It's up to you how you care about your job ...
The 500 or 600 electric motor (not included in the kit) is powered by a 6-cell NiMH or NiCd battery (for example, a six-element for RC 1:10). The boat shaft with a casing and clutch suitable for common mock-up riding is part of the kit. To maximize engine performance and long cruise when using large capacity batteries, we recommend refilling engine water cooling. All at least two-channel RC sets, a bi-directional electronic speed controller of at least 30A (depending on the engine) and one standard rudder servo are sufficient to control the ship.
The kit includes: pre-cut plywood parts, pre-cut parts from mahogany veneer, mahogany platens, cast metal parts and other maker accessories, ship's shaft with holster and clutch, building plan containing three-layered drawing of the ship and perspective drawings of individual building steps, two sticker stickers, building.
