At Kartonbau.de, Friedulin is building the USS Maine from paper. I guess the one thing all R/C paper ships have in common is the larger scale...

I believe Leif had something on here a while back about making a paper boat R/C. It was cool. I say go for it Chris! It would be sweet to make a catamaran or something. Very stable in the miniature waves.

I am kinda settling in on the Wild Thing. Its a Deep Vee hull type boat. I am going this route for simplicity (and I am slow as you all know) Still poking around though!

That Maine looks good so far!

OK! Here is a link to what I am going to try to build I can see that I am going to need fairly thick card and probably laminate some together so I am unsure if I want to try and do this with card or not.... I can see card being very viable for a liesurely boat - there is one guy that built several of them!

Electric wild thing - RC Groups

Links to some card model R/C boats:
QUEEN MARY- birth of a cardboard titan. - RC Groups
R.c.s. Olympic - RC Groups
MUSASHI- Birth of another cardboard Titan - RC Groups
R/C Mauretania - RC Groups
