After riding Bill's board today, I felt inspired to get progress done on No.41
One of the things I noticed about the Amos was the lack of ability to open the nose cone latches (so if you want to change batteries, you have to take everything apart). I did some layups with the Foil Drive unit and decided to make some cutouts for latch access.
And then I cut out the trench and cleaned up the cuts.
The FD unit fits comfortably. There are arguments on multiple fronts on how much space should be given here - hydrodynamics, access, volume, etc. I ended up adjusting and going with what was aesthetically pleasing.
And while I'm placing epoxy on Stu's board, I'll get the boxes laminated and maybe the vertical walls of the trench.
Lots of extra steps here...
