Ocean Challenger

Designed by Bryant Thompson, this scale model of a Californian, steel-hulled fishing vessel uses conventional wood construction techniques – lite-ply, basswood and balsa. The full-size boat has a steel hull, so the model’s sides are relatively flat and are easy to sheet with balsa. Length: 31 1/2″; beam: 9″; radio req’d.: 2-channel; motor: 6 or 12V with reversible ESC; 1 sheet. LD2
