Placement of electrical motors and propellers for flight-test program. Tempting though it is to configure a quad, all commercial airliners evolve...
Expanded and amended plans for construction of previously-posted surface-skimming craft. Fore and aft planes require a laminated sheet apiece, as...
Half-scale iteration of the pattern provided, which needs correcting in that the 'wedge' at either end must match the width of the fore and aft...
Re-iteration of a design dating from 2012 which forms a practical basis for the application of electrical motors and propellers evolved since. The...
Anyone having reviewed the album at colinhilton will probably be aware that I've had more practise than most at building hydro-skis. Trying to...
The 2.40 metre prototype panelplane. Modified version of type used six months ago for static test without motor. Also based on a 2-inch PU foam...
Development continues on the prototype monoplane with recent modifications allowing for fitment of stock 20" outboards like the Mariner 15HP...
Draft outline of 3.0 metre (ten-foot) mono-ski to be tested with a 15 HP two-stroke short-shaft Mariner outboard. A beta-type based upon this...
A 3.60m "flat-cat" built primarily to investigate methods and materials in the ongoing effort to market types that will run upon a single ski....
A wooden prototype that improves portability and reduces the weight to a minimum. The length was selected as being half the length of FRP...
3.7m flat-packed catamaran: a beta-product for kit-builders in the form of a twin-hull craft at a minimal cost without prejudice to performance....
Outline concept and 1/4 scale mock-up for flat-pack panel-and-pultrusion watercraft. The pre-production prototype is intended for sales in kit...
A working template for hydroplanes of six metres length that displace 150 litres or more. The area to either side of the tail-fin exceeds two feet...
The target evolution of all that has gone before. The recent addition of a tail so (so that the spars are more fully reflexed along their length)...
Based upon the universal pattern provided here, this is the outline that the parts produce, joined by scale hydroskis in timber or composite of...
A template anyone can use in order to build a test platform for the type. Based on a stock 4 x 8 foot sheet of PET, PVC or PU foam 2-3 inches...
The pattern is designed for a single 8' x 4' foam PVC sheet two inches or 50mm thick, spray laminated to one side. It will be used for...
