 Okay, my brain tells me if I can get those connected to that It should be all lined up now. All right, just enough fiberglass to hold it in place All right, this cannot come loose no matter what So I'm just gonna put a whole bunch of fiberglass on it And it only has about two centimeters of connection there Wrap it around. Yeah, that's better I just need to clean these off down to here All right, I got these all blackened Oh man, those look great Now I need to make the other two of these for the other side Those were kind of difficult to make I guess I just need to go do it Not that these need it, but I riveted them in One on each side And I also have these ridiculous things that I would never buy but I happen to have them I'll have to I guess glue those on or maybe put a screw through Yeah, I should glue them on make a nice seal so these don't fill up with water All right, I just spent most of today Sanding the bottom of this sucker It's pretty smooth smooth enough I was just sanding the edge of my paint here a little you know because the water might come up there And I noticed this Look at this dent. What is going on? It took me a few minutes to realize what was happening I think I pushed this and it pops out to where it should be And it's because this is a sealed chamber And it's early in the morning right now And it's cooler and the the air inside this chamber is contracted and it's sucking this in So I think I may need to go In there Cut the the access port to here so this can Not happen every time it gets cool Seriously for a minute, I was like, how did I do this? How did I do such a bad job? All right, let's Hopefully it's just the air pressure and once I release it, it'll pop right back out Big pajama grandma. Oh, so right up here. I want to have a door to get in that front section I also need to make a door back here so I can get into where the motor's gonna go and all that stuff Oh, I can throw this thing in the water right now and drive it around But I do want to finish the paint and I may as well cut these doors while I'm waiting for the paint to dry Because it's oil paint. It takes a couple days to like really dry Okay, which shape door do I want here? I don't know to be good because I think I'm gonna attach a hint Looks good to me If I'm right about the air contraction as soon as I start this it should start sucking in Give it a second so it doesn't just suck all the dust in as I'm going. Did you hear it? It was totally second. I bet that spots popped it back out Oh, yeah, it's so much better now Now I'm gonna try to cut this in a way that all the dust doesn't go in there So I'm gonna cut this way so I'll get the blade coming this way so Shoot it out Nothing fancy here another piece for this. This isn't the one I cut out of there. I made it a little bigger so it would overlap Now do I need to worry about rain getting in here? This does overhang a little bit so it'll only be rain that's coming in this way Maybe I'll leave it for now. I can always put a little gutter over it If I feel like But if only a few drips get in now on that That's not a big deal All right, that's good. While I've got my cutter and stuff out I may as well cut the Hatch back here too This has to be big enough To get the motor in there, you know do all the assembly whatever I need to do to get the motor lined up, right? Space for the batteries Probably the charge controller will go in here too. I want to be able to get in here and have lots of space anyway Probably Most this Will just be openable I also need ventilation So maybe if I cut this out Then I can put instead of putting a door that fits flush I could put a door that's raised up a little And just overhangs a lot so it has some space for airflow to get through You know, I should make the cover for this before I cut this piece out And I can just lay some newspaper on here then put fiberglass right on it Take that off. That'll be my cover. Then I can cut this out. All right, bishop in you go I put a couple pieces of string on here Resin them in it's just paracord so that If you know a raindrop lands here And it's not far enough to one side or the other to actually roll down Uh, and the wind is pushing it that way, you know come and hit the string and then go down the sides It's the same thing back here This is only relevant, you know, if the wind is blowing a drop in All right, how do I attach this thing on here? Hmm could be hinged on the side Or it could be like Let me think about that Since I already had a dust mess I drilled the holes in here. I've been meaning to do You know so wind can blow through and just because I like them And I got the whole thing painted So the nice thing about that is all that mess of dust and stuff First I swept it off, but anything that's left is just glued down with paint now Got my caps glued on there Yeah, we're gonna make sure these don't cut that right now It's not like they're gonna just fall off like this being buoyant pushes them up in there And they're they're also they fit kind of snug Good enough for a test. I'll put something on there after yeah I think I'm ready to take this thing in the water tomorrow entirely sure how this attaches yet I can do a test just like that if it's a little snug I can definitely do a test with that on just like that I'm probably gonna change the propeller blades But I'm gonna test them before I do it so I can have a better idea of How to change them The steering's working great Fingers crossed for good weather tomorrow morning
