I beleive if the CW is moved that much forward (vs the nitro T2) the rear end will start to high speed hop in the back. The turnfin bracket location of the nitro one will be way off also if CW is moved forward...

"Less" then: BL motor + batteries + esc. Depending on the equipent of course...

Jeff: yes, you need to raise the tubsides to make room for the batteries. But I think the CW will be too far to the front if you put the batteries there (between the tubes). Note, im not an electric expert but the little Ive seen on the FE boats the CW seems to quite easily to be a bit too far...

Thumbs Up!

Yeph, that shoulder line is about 30 mm from the deck top and parallel to the deck curve. The narrowed deck is about 15 mm wide and the sponsons are around 23 mm thick/wide overall. So just make two lines and remove material in between and then re-skin that chamfered part. Even though they are...

BTW, balsa core's are good enough until something happens. If you crash they tend to be harder to repair and you need a good seal and paint so they dont soak up moisture. The cores I did was 20 mm hard balsa and 1+1 mm plywood in a press down sandwich glued with polyurethane 1k glue (like gorilla).

See pics. The closest to camera is Micke's KEPs 21 with flat sided sponsons. These sponsons dont have the T2 stock profile though. They are more like "T3". The running pads (removeable of course) are longer and there is more negative AoA on top.

Thanks for the interest. I have a couple of new KEPs FE-4S on the drawing board (one new and one based on keeping the sponsons from the nitro version) and as you have mentioned, its not easy to stuff the stuff inside the 4S tub and get the weight where you want it. The tub needs to be a tad...

Thanks Guys! Mark: the building season is "on hold" Have some stuff to do first and Im also smelling the "roses" a bit. There's no shortage of ideas though but Im not sure if they will materialize this winter. We'll see.

How removeable are those 3M tapes?

Mark: so far its no issue with getting nitro here. New EU laws from this upcoming fall but no one knows how those will be implemented etc... So we use 60% in our 21's and 60 or 40% in our 45s. Yes, the slightly bigger dia feels good in heatracing. And the feel of the pitchedup props youve done...

In my mind for heatracing in Europe, with a KEPs T2 21, I cant think of a reason using much more then 3.33 in cup is that raceable (at least at the moment). The "spool up time" with more then that takes too long to be able to use. I think it will be more and more of a rubber band feel to the...

Looks Good Martin. Agree on that the RPM's could be higher. Try lift the strut straight up. Try 1 mm first. Had a 3.33 H6 and a 3.33 50x69 by Mark on my two race boats this past weekend and its not a whole lot of difference... Need to test more though (before the race I had zero time in the...

Its FASST-C2 only so only R614xx receivers. It doesnt support the slower response earlier FASST systems.

July production for Europe as in August delivery. What the expected production/delivery plans are for the rest of the world I dont know. No info available (no manual yet) if the aero GPS sensor would work but I doubt it as its not for the 4PLS either. (Ps, Futaba GPS sensor are not only for...

Nope, dont think so. Thats for their aero system. Need to check though, we just got the full specs today and I dont have them here at home. Ill propobly make an article with full specs in my blog tomorrow or on Sunday at the latest.

FASST & T-FHSS = Telemetry.

Sweet looking!
