Today was another part constructed. The motor mount is built, the propeller shaft and the propeller is installed need to wait till the glue sets and then I'll glue the motor in place.

Just as I promised, I installed the motor & rubber. The photo looks like the alignment is off, but I don't think it will matter. Tomorrow, there will be a leak test in the bathtub before my wife catches me putting water in the tub. I added two photos of the type of shaft & Prop. I upgraded the motor but used coupling stuffing box & propeller 🤣🤣

I want to thank Ron for his help with my Vosper build. The one thing I need to do is find a way to change out the battery pack, and the size I'll need to make a section that can be removed to change out the battery. I will use a 6-pack AA-NMH 3000 milliamp-hour rated batteries to keep the weight down.I also want to emphasize that members of the website can be very helpful.

I've been using a lot of brain power to figure out how to change out the battery on the Vosper model that wasn't designed for R/C Only thing possible was to make a hole in the deck, then make it so it can be taken off so that's why I will use 2, 6-32 bolts & nuts to hold the cabin down.I also hate clear windows that need gluing in place.And I know now why I stopped making plastic model cars it' because my fingerprints end up on the model.P/S I really wish Jolly Red Guy had given the Vosper Perkasa.I like its design. The torpedoe tubes will hide the nuts.

Changed a little bit the installation area for the Flysky receiver, and installed speed control in a new area also. The next step have to find a plase for on off switch.

Had some of these switches, so used one on the Vosper very tiny P/B for on & off.No insult to Ron, but as
Frank Sinatra sang it I did it my way.⛵

I was having a hard time trying to find a way to protect the receiver from water damage. Then a light bulb popped in my brain, just use a bottle that you have used in other models. So the photo shows the red-taped bottle that has my Fly Sky Receiver

It's been too cold to go out, so more work is being done in my cold basement on the Vosper almost completed; just a few tiny parts need to be installed. The model isn't that well done. I'm a Poor painter, and a few small parts were not added because I kept dropping the tiny parts and they would disappear into the Twilight Zone.

I have been thinking about the drive train on my latest build .It wasn't going to work because the the stuffing box was only 2.6 MM Prop shaft was 1.8 MM & the prop blade was 30MM and it was a press on fitting .So I upgraded to a larger Stuffing box 9MM Shaft upgraded to 3.8 MM & prop 35 mm #1 upgraded #2 original style.

Change the drive to a larger 9mm stuffing box with a 3.8mm shaft that is bolted onto the shaft. Additionally, upgrade to a new 2-blade propeller, measuring 3.5mm. The original prop shaft used a press-on style propeller, which may have come loose while in use.
