Looking really boaty now Nice job ! Are you cutting your parts as you go ?

OVERLORD Sat Apr 10, 2021 8:06 am

Yes I do. You can imagine that from a plan A4 size taken from a magazine, blowing up drawings for templates, transferring them to wood, then sawing or cutting the parts out can give some differences. And I measure a lot during glueing and fitting parts to check. I now have to sand or shape with a plane the stringers and then make paper templates for the ply skin.

so cool!!! Love that you are building a boat for the Enya!

After the summer break, I started the bottom of the hull. I first cut 2 parts in plywood more or less to shape and glued them in place. The edges in way of
the chin and transom will need to be shaved flush after drying.

The bottom planking is all cut to shape and glued. The last part to glue is the front which is severely curved.

Thanks Laura.

I went shopping at the DIY and bought a 5mm diameter steel rod and a brass tube with the same inner diameter. Also a package of long M6 nuts for the coupling and that fit the crankshaft thread. From ebay, I got a prop with an M5 inner thread.

The bottom planking is completely glued now and I trimmed the edges to make them flush with the stringers.

Interesting , Yes it is coming along Nicely . I have built a lot of model cars and airplanes but not a boat . Very Happy

I finished making the sterntube and the propeller shaft. The prop shaft has a M5 thread for the propeller and the counter nut. On the other side, the shaft is kept in place by a wheel retainer.

Today, I glued the sterntube in place with epoxy. To make a flat base for the engine bearers, I glued a piece of plywood over the keel and the hull.

Good to see that you're back working on this model project Lieven! Thumbs Up

OVERLORD Mon Jun 17, 2024 2:53 pm

Yes, I left this project alone for a few years. I had other things on my mind. I closed my company and had to find another job. I moved house too.

I have a KNK Boat muffler for the Enya .09-IV (or III) that you have.
New in the package.
I have three of these KNK boat mufflers because I figured that I could make them work on an airplane engine ae well?

Contact me if interested ----- make a deal?

I too also have "two" Enya .09 boat motors (New in the box) I need to use with the two kits from Dumas that I have had for years.

Below are the photos of the KNK Boat muffler and documentation (translated)

I have a couple of .049s that Happydad sent me shortly before he passed. I should pass one along to someone who can really put it to good use and properly honor his memory.
