FLYIN HIGH JS-78
Bill DeGlopper
I bought the kit from M.A.C.K. Products Model Marine. They are located in Long Branch, NJ.
They are on the web at mackproducts.com.
SPECS: model is 32" long, beam 12.3", Scale 1/6 with electric RC
power.
It is being built in Canada by my friend John Marck.
John is a
remarkable builder who's RC model boat club often has a booth at the
Buffalo Launch Club Vintage Raceboat Regatta.
John came to the Muskoka
150 Years of Racing event at Gravenhurst, Canada in July & shot many
photos of the actual skiff.
The RC model will be as accurate a
reproduction as possible.
It is scheduled to debut at Valleyfield's ACHA
race in July 2013 & will accompany the vintage skiff as we tour on the
Vintage circut.
The beginning of the painting process.
This is a 6' banner that the ACBS Toronto chapter displayed at the
Toronto boat show in January.
That prompted me to go to Muskoka and John
met me there to pick up the kit and begin the building process.
