I started assembling my Mystic C5000.
I gave up the laser cutting and choose to do the whole model in balsa wood,
reduzing the scale of the plans and remake the drawings to the size of 31,5' (80 cm).
I want to make this boat as light as possible and use a two brushless motors type 540 4000 kv with two lipo 4000mAh batteries and two escs of 80A. The whole idea is to use a small but efficient set.
The balsa construction will help the reduced motorization. I wish coating everything with a thin layer of fiberglass in two layers being careful with the weight.
Together with the hull, I'm doing my drives, because I did not find any drives to serve in this size. In this first phase I have used the materials that will allow me to work because I don't have resources e.g. lathe, milling, etc. in my garage. So, my resources are based on a drilling machine and some tools. (I am a poor guy):-) I'll post here the progress for those who want to see it and I'm open to suggestions.
Later, I noticed that there was no drive in the market that I could use to keep the model as faithful as possible to the original. So I decided to make myself my drives.
I used brass tubing and screws to build this little drive 7cm.
But I don't like this. Is very ugly.
Now I start an new design who has more dignity.
If anyone has any ideas to improve the design tell me.
This drives is cool but too large for my boat
