Hi All

Finally got a sister boat to my Wave Rider from E Bay UK !!!

International Postage cost was a third of Australian Postage !!!

The boat arrived very well package and the hull was in good shape.

A full paint strip and replacement of the 3mm drive line to 4mm.

Added spray rails and repaired the chine rails.

The GT strip had to go and a wooden deck from Banjo Coffee stir sticks.

Motor 35mm brushless 1250kv on 3S Lipo battery.

Lovely restoration. Always very satisfying to bring an old model back to life.

Nice one Harry as always. A bit of wood on deck, always a good look.

I just get a "Page Not Found" error Harry, can you check the address?

[Charles OatesParticipant @charlesoates31738]

That's odd Richard, it works for me. I found the lesro about 2 mins 40 in, sailing beautifully. Congrats Harry, that's an excellent model.

[Richard SimpsonParticipant @richardsimpson88330]

It must be me, I still get the same error.

I'm in the process of repainting my wave princess which I was given and original plan

[harry smith 1Participant @harrysmith1]

Hi Terry

Great boat, I powered mine with a 35mm 1250kv brushless motor.

Can you do a PDF copy of the plan for me, please ???

I have a few old plans as PDF which you may be interested in.

Hi Guys,

Having an A1 size drawing scanned to pdf at my local repro shop costs £25 !!!

My last company had this facility inhouse which was very handy

Regards Ray

[Chris FellowsParticipant @chrisfellows72943]

Blimey Ray, that's expensive! I use a copy shop I used to use for my architectural drawings and for that size and bigger for a print and PDF cost me a lot less, under a tenner if I remember.

I had to use a high street copy shop once for some architectural prints and they were a lot more expensive than my usual places.

Progress being made on the wave princess..few more weeks and it should be on the pond

[harry smith 1Participant @harrysmith1]

Hi Terry

Thanks for the photo of the plans.

Our local printshop only cost about $10 au with Print and scan of plans!!!

Ewe guys are payment thru the nose !!!

Stunning duty.

[ashley needhamParticipant @ashleyneedham69188]

You were done Ray, shouldn’t have been that much. Give me their address, I’ll send the boys round (as long as it’s not too far from the bus stop).

[Ray Wood 3Participant @raywood3]

Hi Ashley,

Of course I didn't pay £25 for an A1 scan most of my boats don't cost that much to build !!

But in a small village repro shop not so bad if your desperate

You maybe pulled by the PC brigade for lack of diversity on your bumper boats ??

Regards Ray

[harry smith 1Participant @harrysmith1]

Hi Ashley and Ray

A word from Ken after his divorce from Barbie, he has no money to build a bumper boat !!!!!!

Harry

[ashley needhamParticipant @ashleyneedham69188]

Ray. Some of them are very diverse….they are tricky to control and diverse all over the place.😇

Harry, too true, that’s why Peter had to use an action man!

[Cecil WebbParticipant @cecilwebb96087]

Great work on the restoration.
