As we return to the build, it becomes clear why I turned to the ply-and-foam design featured in the website www.teledrone.com (and remember to like, follow and kiss my bottom). For the pair of plywood panels in that outline run the depth of the keel, whereas the factory-applied laminate here literally falls short. This means that if you grasp the ski it is easily twisted, with practically only the cocktail sticks holding on.
The glue, not so much, despite it professing "Sticks Like Sh*t".
I take issue with this, writing to the century-old firm in Staffordshire thus:
Dear Sir,
You claim that your adhesive 'sticks like shit' and yes, it may do to the rear face of a toilet bowl, but does it pass muster on the high seas? So as to test this I did build a drone using my smeared-on stools as a fixative ~ to the extent neighbours thought it was a dirty protest. Believe me it fell well short of an epoxy resin.

I was furious with the Patent Office, who told me that they considered the mark was neither offensive and nor in fact did it contain a swear word; and so I asked if they were happy if I registered ShittyTitAssBollockyBuggeryBumBum for my adhesive?
No, they weren't... why bother?
