RC Model of Wild Duck Sailboat 

Thanks for making this excellent video tutorial. I have just received the plans and today ordered the sails. Your film, which I have viewed all the way through, is going to be of enormous help. Best wishes Mick

Ammonia helps to bend wood in modelling Mr K. I suspect Windex contains some ammonia. Care needed , as Ammonia can stain the wood .No big deal when painting a hull I guess. 5 - 20% Ammonia to water ratio.

What a great video 👍. Not only is it very informative, you don’t hide the mistakes we all make. Good video quality and editing as well. 👍

Thanx for showing how you made the little wild duck. I liked it. Greetings, Fred

Thanks for posting this. Classy boat ! I know it takes a lot of effort to put the video together. I always enjoy seeing what others are doing.

In addition to the main feature, I enjoyed the musical soundtrack.

An impressive work of art as well as a great rc project.

Nice boat

Beautiful!

Currently building my own Wild Duck and must say this tutorial video was great to be able to reference the build as it progressed. I did use tracing paper before on another boat build as that to didn't have any hull templates. I did have some issue with the stringers lining up even though I cut out the frame very carefully they did seem to want to form a nice curve . I'm at the point now of cutting it from the build board and then tackling the upper deck stuff and cabin and looking to do similar with the cabin top lifting off in one piece. thanks again for sharing you video.

The ammonia in windex helps the wood be more flexible

What a beautiful boat you did a great job designing and building it. Thanks for making the plans available.

fantastic project. I assume you shaped the keel weight/bulb with files, sandpaper etc. How did you safely control/collect the lead dust and filings?

Yes a real one kept on the Thames at Erith EYC A friend of mine how has sadly died had one as well. We sailed the east coast. His boat was called whisper

I have been in full size boats that were not half as sturdy as this model.

I owned a wild duck called Tarka

You built my design far to heavy I'm afraid 😢😢

Nice model shame about the paint job
