Looks great. Really nice project. It looks like you are maxing out the angle on the sponsons by the look of the front boom and its location in the slots. I will be interested in knowing how the boat runs and handles with the sponsons at that angle. Thinking it’s at least 5 degrees or more. I...

Front bottom fitted and glued in today. Coated the whole side of piece that contacts the boat with epoxy but left a 1/8 inch perimeter around the outside free of epoxy. Coated the frames with thickened epoxy but left the same 1/8” perimeter around the outside. I then put a bead of thick CA on...

Cool look forward to seeing it. I feel ya, I paint in a tent outside. I don’t even have an intermediate area so the weather needs to at least be 50-60 degrees. So I feel ya on that whole thing. If it could only be perpetually 70-75 degrees!

Think I might go with white, with black trim. Something simple. Once I get the repairs done, I’ll put it on the shelf until the weather warms up again. It probably won’t get painted until Spring.

Repair on the Lauterbach has been under way for a couple of weeks. When this thread began, I posted pics of the damaged boat. I wound up having to cut away about 2/3 of the bottom. The front deck piece peeled up cleanly up to about bulkhead 4 and that will be no problem just to glue back down...

Congrats on a nice season Leighton!

Looking good Chris! What clear are you using?

Looks like a nice custom cowl Bruce. Good job! Hope the wifey is feeling better!

I don’t recall Aeromarine ever producing a Circus Circus hull. I know they did a Turbine Bud and a Miller from like 85 or so. It could be a Dumas hull that someone glassed over. It sure looks like the Dumas kit boat. I’m pretty sure that Dumas made ABS cowls for that kit so maybe take a...

Yes email Dave he will have all the details.

Here’s the pics of the COCR CC3 props. So far these run the best out of anything I’ve tried, particularly the +2 and +5. The +7 is a little big but will launch and run well in choppy waters.

Yeah Marty give me a few I will send some pics.

COCR CC3 +2, +5, and +7. All 2 blade. The Slingshot likes these. Particularly the first 2. Order from Dave Pillado at COCR USA. Might take a couple months or so as they come from Australia, but I highly recommend.

I’m running the Savox 1210 servos in all my gas boats. I think it’ll provide 270 oz in at 6.6 volts. I run Blazer Lauterbachs, Backlashes, and Slingshot outriggers. I’ve never had one fail. I’ve had other Savox servos fail for throttle but never this model. Pro Modeler seems to make some nice...

I like this setup. Shortening the gusset area gives you more flexibility and is what I will do if I build another. Even if you are not using a wire drive, there’s plenty of room to retrofit one if you wanted to as far as being able to get a clamp on the outer tube. Everything looks great.

Also great info. Another add on the TBoat whether zippkits or Blazer or other, a mod motor is ALOT of motor for the vintage style hydros like the Lauterbach etc… I watched Brian Blazer put a 29.5 mod into his LB and it was BLAZING fast (see what I did there?) but every time he let off the...

Great post Chris, this is exactly what the hobby needs. Good advice.

Prop received today, looks great! Thanks Ed!

Thanks Daniel. I’ll be hitting you up for more switch harnesses soon and possibly one of those starters.

Good to know thanks Marty!
