Comments - All of the project go around of my little girl's Barbie dolls. As she is an entusiastic of the machines, she took an important part in the development and construction of this airboat. The hull, the duct, the motor pod and the tail cone were made with green foam and epoxi-fiberglass, with balsa wood for the air ruders. The radio is a Hobbico 3 channel (I only use 2), one Hobbico servo and 7 cells, all of this , including the speed control, were attached to a 1/4'' plywood and are fully removable from the hull. I made the decals of the logo (designed by me) in my computer in autoadhesive paper and attached to the hull before the final transparent finish.
