Nice to see another Lulonga build. I was wondering why the paddles are angled on the wheels and not parallal to the wheel shaft (as seen on most ships)?

   Hello Thomas,
             Any paddle detail yet....?.....still waiting what do  with mine.
           have you link with photo you found on internet..?..
              cheers Larry..

 :)Dobrý den, Thomas;

Mám rád naši přátelé se mě ptáte: "Proč kol pádla jsou nakloněny?"

Miluji budovu s vymáháním bedny na zeleninu, z pozlacené proti světelnému práci, odolný a levné.

Rána pokovování balzového ..... není tak zřejmý pronikání vody. Musí být chráněna zvenčí, ale i uvnitř, ne?

Uznávám, jednoduchou a úspornou konstrukci; Blahopřejeme.

srdečně

Hello Thomas;

I like our friends ask me "why wheel paddles are inclined?"

I love the building with the recovery of vegetable crates, plated against a light job, resistant and cheap.

The blow plating balsa ..... not so obvious infiltration of water. It must be protected on the outside but also inside, right?

I recognize, a simple and economical construction; Congratulations.

cordially

François

Hi François,
as to paddle wheels there is my link too.(I can put some words later , if you wish)

Balsa wood for hull construction .. as you can see,the outer layer is GRP ! I use this method as very reliable for every my model..    the lamination of the hull is  reliable protection against water.In addition, I   impregnated balsa  with  diluted   epoxy varnish.

Hull  is then nearly  .." Bomben fest und Idiotensicher " !!

Greetings,
Tom
