what what, END CAPED CYLINDERS

Sorry cant figure out where you are going with this, as i see it end caped cylinders, they are flat nosed. TELL me i am wrong, please - or else i think you are better of with just a cardboard box for the hull (at least that has got a good flat buttom to plane on).

The perfect roundness of a cylinder is no good, have you ever seen at ship that used that??, NO stability at all.

I would recommend BLUECORE or PINKFOAM for you, that is more up your ally -easy to carve in, easy to cut, easy to sand, easy to form, easy to get hold of, easy to make working "flat nosed" box boats (for a start) -and slowly try out a more sleek race boat design (on the same "boat" JUST carve and sand away..

	R/C_dude have you checked out the 2 NEW items (BOATS), i know the are way over your budget -BUT check out the DESIGNS the shape of the Hulls on them.. and feel free to make your own, like boat. (i recommend the MONO hull one, easier to make -for inexperienced builders. AS for the parts you ask about, -cant help you, all the links are "dead", AND surely dude, DONT BUY HOBBYKING PARTS from another reseller, at higher prices.

	Sorry about that, I don't know why they became dead, and I might have to buy hobbyking parts from another reseller if they don't come in before i need them. I tried to look for alternatives but couldn't find some. Ex I wanted to get a 2200mah 3cell lipo but if they don't come in, I'll have to get a 1800mah 3 cell for $5 more. For hull shape, I we're going to do an outrigger.
