Paddlewash??? Maybe so...
« on: June 17, 2005, 04:01:18 AM »
Hi to all Pd's - last weekend I completed the re-planking of the revised sponsons which provided
a 0.75 mm (approx) spacing between each plank to fall in scale with the actual spacing on Decoy's
sponsons etc - so here is the issue & a question for Stuart

I can sort of visualize at say (out of true scale) 150 RPM, lots more water being thrown up through these
0.75 mm slots and over the aft decking than the deck drainage slots will allow to return back to the aft
sponsons (catch 22?)

Suppose I could glue panels of clear styrene sheeting under the slots??? any other thoughts???

regards Derek
