HMS Cossack
Tjorven:
So it has begun.
The kit arrived thursday evening, and today the start was made with the cleaning of the hull and some trimming of the edges (not all are done yet). I hope to get all the trimming done tomorrow evening, if the kids and wife allow it.
I'm going to try to keep a build log over here, as detailed as possible with pictures.
Feel free to comment if you see anything "abnormal" or with any hints or tips. They are most welcome as this is my first built.
Tjorven:
So I have been sanding some more, and have cut out the stern and forcastle deck template out and started to sand them to fit. Took some measurements too and found out the hull is leaning outwards on the top by almost 5 mm.
Would it be best to first fit in all electronics and then the decks/beams who will pull the hull inwards, or first fit the deck templates and beams to get the hull straight and then fit all electronics on their shelves and propshaft, rudder etc.
Does anyone also can tell me if in the standard kit, there is also something supplied to connect the servo to the rudder? Or do I have to get this somewhere else. (The tiller arms are supplied, but I don't know about the connecting rod);
Also a note to Ron:
with the transmitter/receiver in the box was the manual of a different transmitter/receiver. For me it is no problem but just wanted you to know as the box was unopened and it's probably the manufacturer who made the error. The transmitter was Hi-Tec Light 4 and the manual was for the DXE5.

Hi Tjorven
Connecting the tiller to the servo is just a length of piano wire with z bend in each end to stop is coming adrift
will check up on all the ohter radios sets in stock, thank you for the tip off

Tjorven:
No it's not needed.
I have downloaded the manual from their website and don't need a paper version.
But thanks for the offer tho.
