IOM Build

Got the Vektor IOM Pland today, but they fail to show spacing between stations. E-mailed supplier to see about spacing. Plan on starting after ordering supplies

    Hi Chip, I'll look at my plans later today for you, but the stations are usually every 10cm except for the bow, which is located 20mm back from the finished bow to allow for a bumper. When I built the plug for my mold, that's how I did it, making sure to put the side of the station toward the bow or stern so the thickness of the station board does not affect the shape. I also used a laser level to get them all lined up when I was mounting them. I have some photos of a build at http://rcgroups.com and search for "IOM build". There are also some photos at http://flickr.com/photos/hew_hamilton in the Vektor folder.

    100mm between each I found out. Measure once cut twice. I photocopied the stations and apparently, someone had the copy machine at 95% or so sizing. After cutting them out, glueing them on and cutting all 11 stations on the plywood, I realized that they were all short. The widest one was close to an 3/4' narrower. AARGH. Back to the drawing board to start again.
