S45 Construction radio tray as a built in component to the hull.
From: racer577@citystar.com
I am building a new boat and incorperating a few new ideas. One is to
include the radio tray as a built in component to the hull. I added two
1/16 plywood plates that are notched to fit into the frames. This
particular one is designed to hold one servo and a RMG winch. I will see
how this works out. The down side is going to be limited access, but the
up side is light weight and strength.
If there is interest I may build this up for other winch options.
