I am still waiting for my Lehner motors to arrive and feel that there is not much I can do with the hull in the mean time. I basically want to get the centre of gravity figured out before I glue anything else in the hull. Mainly the front bulkhead, engine mounts and battery support plates.
I did cut out of a 2mm carbon sheet the two battery plates. Its recommended by Hanspeter to not mount the batteries directly against the bottom of the sponsons.
Mine measure 6.7cm wide by 24.5cm long which gives me enough room to move the batteries forward and back to change the point of CG.
Once I have decided on the correct mounting position of these plates I will need to cut a little wedge in the outer side of each plate to get it to sit flat since there is a little hump where the first step on the bottom of the hull is.
I have also observed several different styles of mounting the batteries to the mounting plates, not sure what I am going to do here yet.....
Lastly I have been giving the paint job a thought and have some ideas, stay tuned
