Because i have no will to continiue with the angeldust rg65, i decided to build myself a jif65 wich will be equipped with my design rigg, and will be used for comparison to new designs.
The jif65 is a classic rg65, ment for easy building, but results from some regattas show that it can perform if executed well.
The hull seems to have a low prismatic coefficient, a relatively deep v and is quite beamy for a canoe style boat.

| planks are 2mm balsa, bulkheads are 3mm balsa as suggested by the plans |
Todays progress was good, managed to get all the templates cut out, and build the hull.
The front two bulkheads also have holes cut in them to save weight. The hull with no servos now weighs 76g which is ok according to some build logs on the web.
Not sure why this pic is downside up, but here are the servos. Fresh from hobby king
this servo ripps pants with only 60g of weight and lots of torque. the rudder servo is a corona something 9g servo for rudder. The servos are set on a (50g carbon/1mm balsa/ 50g carbon) sandwich wich is supported in the middle and weighs a mere 7g, the finn box has a 3mm wide slot and is made of the same sandwich, the green stuff is some very stiff foam found in
baumax.
That's it for now, by the weekend i hope to have the hull glassed and the deck bonded.
