3-23-03: This weekend we ran the engine. The exaust pipes perform well, as well as the propeller guard. We are building it almost exactly as the patterns. The rudders are being done and at the end of the next week we hope to install them. We did a test putting rollers under the hull and the airboat moved satisfatory over the rollers with the thrust of the engine. We guess it will function properly in the water. I'm sending more photos of the first run. There's a lot of things to be done yet and I promise to send you photos of all stages. |
