of the keel on the hull can then be sanded and filled to a chamfer.
.
Now measure and mark all other parts cut out from the build plan and the following drawings and mark
these dimensions on the hull.
Use a straight edge for attachment and place it vertically at the stern. For drilling the two holes for the
rudder tubes first use a 2mm drill bit, then open it up to 4mm. For the space for the stern tubes, we
also recommend starting off drilling the end point with a small drill bit and gradually opening it up to
7mm and filing it.
Now draw the lateral hatch for the rudder unit on the hull's starboard side, as per the build plan. If you
are left-handed, it would be sensible to attach this hatch on the backboard side. Drill into the corners of
the hatch with a 1.5mm drill, link the bore holes with a ruler and score several times with a knife along
this line until the plastic is cut through. File the cut edges smooth and, using the scrap material, attach
6 small pieces around the edge on the inside of the hull so that the hatch cannot fall in.
Cut out 3 strips for the cover which you then glue vertically to the inside of the cover. The cover should
then be hooked in with its upper edge into the hull and slot into the lower edge by lifting it up and over.
