CardCat X900 Stealth Drone

There is no doubt about it. The 900mm version of the X200 (named X900) is one mother of a cardboard hull. Made in 2mm card the parts are not only glued together but also pop-rivetted with 3mm akuminium pop rivets. The projected cargo capacity of the boat will be around 14Kg - a humongous capacity for such a small boat whose projected weight will lie around the 2Kg mark. This will be an extremely sea-worthy hull, and I mean SEA-worthy. I may begin marketting this as an environmental monitoring boat for use in sensitive areas like bird colonies etc. We shall see. I have to build it first..:D (You can probably "hear" that I am looking forward to that.)

Reporting on the development of Monohull B has been transferred to here because the X900 is based on that hull. Reporting on the X200 will stop when the last tests have been carried out, and development of the X900 is started. So the two partial projects will be joined here at CardCat X900 Stealth Drone.
