She certainly does plane. Looking good. I'm just in the process of starting my Perkasa. Are you able to share your plans, perhaps??? Really need somewhere to start.

looking very nice. is that a fiberglass hull on that one ? i have 2 wooden ones and they will plane but not that well due to the weight of the batteries (ones 6 volt the others 12 volt).

Your Perkasa's great and looking at it when sailing, seems very close to the real thing. What about you shark mouth painted at the front? Is it you one touch our has there been such paint on some Parkasa?

The Perkasa is a very popular model I still have 2 unstarted kits which will hopefully become Brave boarder and Brave swordsman as for the plans not a problem if you pm me your address I will get them photo copied and sent of to you they are not full size but it is not a problem I will also copy the build instructions for you it has a history and pictures of the brave class

Hi squirrel no what you are seeing is the wooden version in my opinion the fiberglass hulls from precedent are rubbish because the molding is terrible all the kits I have seen the hulls are so misshapen that they require way to much work on them to get them to perform .just opinion
Are the photos you posted up of yours?
