Riva Aquarama

[Rick]

I've been picking away on my boat while waiting for the mud to dry on the Willys woodie.

There's a bunch of brackets and supports that still need to be added before I start to plank the hull. For anyone wanting to build a boat, I highly recommend this kit.

Goran,

Sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday (golfing in Egypt). I have bought the kit for 90 euro if I remember correctly. What is included:
[LIST][*]2 motors: They are standard 6V engines. I can't easily read the specs (label is not easily visible the way they are installed now). Let me know if you need more info.[*]2 reduction units: They don't mention the reduction. If needed I can calculate it.[*]1 controler: Msonik 4, model Marine 15, 15A current limit, 4,8-12Voltage input[*]2 propellers (1 left and one right turning)[*]2 axises[*]2 ruders[/LIST]
I have contacted Amati for what they recommend regarding the battery. The recommended 7,2 volts and a capacity (amp) as pick as possible, I bought one of 4,1 Ah. I have added a duo switch of Robbe (8445) to control the lights I have installed. The led lights run on a separate battery of 12volts and 600mAh. Hope this gives you enough information.

Hello everybody:

I have two different set of Riva Aquarama blueprints. One is in 1/8 scale ant the other in 1/18. The quality and detail of the 1/8 plans are much better than the 1/18.

This plans include bulkheads, keel and hull lines.

If somebody wants a copy, just let me know or send me a message.

This plans aren`t electronic, they are printed.

Best regards,

Javier

It has been a while. New job has kept me from making a lot of progress. Busy with the 2nd layer of planking now. Some pictures of the small progress.

[Rick]

Looking good! You've inspired me to get back working on mine.

Hi Riva-builders.
Do any of you have a place where I can get the fittings in scale 1/8 for the aquarama other than in Vietnam at GIA NHIEN CO LTD, he wants 100$ a set some times long ago, there's also the problem with the payment to Vietnam.
I have a plan to build one to my Pocher cars some times in the future when I finished my RR and Mercedes 540 and Ferrari and 2 Heller Citroen's.
PS. do not have any Rivaplans.
