Balsa is probably better. More flexible too.

I think the problem is that you are building too small.

I found that a 1;10 scale was much harder to build than a 1:5 - the materials don't have to be so 'specialist'

I like lots of things about the Victoria model. I like that the keel fits into the hull solidly without having make a box or cut holes so it lines up perfect.

I also like how it looks in general. I never really thought about kit bashing, an Rc model, but I didn't think I could buy one before either.

I'll show you want I want to do with the mains'l. It will be easy, but get rid of turbulence at the mast the same way that the jib does it.

My main question is whether or not I can get rid of the wheel looking things on top near the stern. They look like they just get in the way and can't turn anyways. :confused: Are they just fake steering wheels?

EDIT:: Oh yeah, I mean like on page 9 of this manual: http://manuals.hobbico.com/ttr/ttrb1000-manual.pdf

Yes, the wheels are just a decoration here.

Okay cool. thanks.

The thing I see is that if I buy a kit, I get everything I need for far less than I could build it for.

I have a 10 inch 1000w dual voice coil subwoofer for trade if anyone has any kits lying around. :D

maybe you are right. It only takes a mm or two somewhere to throw this size model way off fair.
