| Hi Andrew, that looks rather nice all painted up. Are those draft markings dry transfer or stick on? Yes let us know how the ballasting comes along. Kilo's love to roll so keep centre of gravity as low as possible and centre of buoyancy high. As it only has a small lower rudder, you can help the turning radius by moving the CG futher back, if your running her in a small pond. I always find painting and ballasting the most satisfying parts of a build. How controlable is the gas ballast system? Can you release small amounts of gas at a time to control your depth; do you have to trim it so that it is at neutral buoyancy with the ballast tank full of water? |
