    No need for a deflector at the engine opening but I would put something where you carb is.

    Here’s what my “thunderboat” looks like now

    I’ve had five Zipp TB’. I made many changes and they kept getting faster and faster. After the first one I never put any vents or slots in the rear deck. I did however copy the Insane with the slots on the sides. Heat was never an issue with this set up.

    A hole in the front of the cowl is good if you are not going to race it. If you are going racing you should take a look at how the Insane TB gets its air by the side of the cowl. This helps to eliminate wash downs. Remember I said helps, not prevents.

    Very nice, but you need to get air into it somewhere.

    COG on Zipp Missile

    You can get ride of 4 and 5. Once you get the decks on it will lock everything in place. It will not twist. I would put in the 8oz now and run it. You can always add more if needed. You would put stick on weight on the nose till you got the results you were looking for. Then mix epoxy and small...

    COG on Zipp Missile

    Don’t put a pound and a half in your boat. Put the decks on, you have more wood ahead of the cg instead of behind. Then check the cg about an inch behind the former and see where you are.

    Here’s what my “thunderboat” looks like now

    I did not open the nose of the cowl and had no problems. I did have problems getting watered down when I ran with an opened up nose. If you’re not racing you can do it either way.

    Stock Select Vendors

    I get what Doug is saying. If a supplier sells select engines made up of stock parts that all match to make a supposedly better stock motor then, they are not going to throw away the left over parts. They will assemble another engine and sell it as stock. That engine may or may not be as good as...

    My 1st Build (SLR Missile Thunderboat ZippKit)

    Sorry I didn’t explain enough. That’s what I ment. Leave the pull start on and use a geezer wheel.

    My 1st Build (SLR Missile Thunderboat ZippKit)

    I would go with the pulley start or at least and easy start. These engines start good until they don’t and at that point depending on your age, you either pull your arm out of the socket or have a heart attack.

    Defining a Healthy Hobby?

    I think limiting entries on the large races is fine. I don’t feel that applies to the internats. I believe everyone should be allowed to race in the Internats if they choose to do so. It shouldn’t be limited to the fastest guys on the keyboard. When the race is filled in a few minutes a lot of...
