Hey guys, got an update! I been feeling really good about the progress I have been making here, but I still got a huge amount of work to go even before testing. The sub hatch setup took me a while to plan out, as the last one I did for my last build gave me alot of trouble in all honesty. Its a...

yeah its just im not sure if ill be using the actual included threaded rods, or if ill use perhaps something thinner and different connectors. The longer rod is much too long and I certainly need to shorten if it i plan to use it, but if I do use different connectors, ill simply just CA them so...

True enough, and that doesnt necessarily have to have an negative connotation to it... what bothers me here is when people feel this way, purely because everyone else feels this way also and that hasnt changed for ______period of time. As humans we naturally evolve and progress, were curious...

^^^ now that is friggin awesome Terry! This is EXACTLY what I love to see and gets me motivated and passionate about building! Guys who have genuine willingness to learn and experiment, and have intuitive perspective.... In all honesty I really didnt mean to bash or come off so negative in...

this is INCREDIBLE!!

!!!!! BLASPHEMY am I right? I mean WTF.... how dare he not be familiar with such sacred tradition !

Anyway, Ill have more pics uploaded tonight of some more progress. The Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum in Kent, about 20 minutes from where I live, is having their annual RC gala tomorrow and although the few things I want to bring with me are extremely far from being finished, let alone worthy...

This is my thread dude if anyone should get over something and move on rather than persisting incessant condescension, its clearly you. lol

You want me type something for you to read, because you..... didnt read it the first time? wow, somebody skipped class the day comprehension was taught ......and reading.... for that matter. haha Funny, no comments or posts being critical or nitpicking! Well, THANKFULLY, I do actually have...

Scott Liddycoat up in here!! and it was all worth it kids ya this is something ive been thinking about. I currently own an Accu-tech turn fin setup as well which is pretty darn similar in terms of shape and dimension, and the bracket they include allows for alot of adjustment. I plan to...

Oh gimme a break!! Seriously, the first time I heard this remark was also the first time I had ever been lectured by my parents Were all grown men here. The only thing that isn't illuminating in this sense is when someone passes off an opinion as the "truth." im repeating myself for the 3rd...

35 pound "barge" , HAH. your demeanor is so cynical and misanthropic it's sad. You made your point.

that was not the point you were getting at and you know it, or else you simply would have said so from the start. Let me say first before I address all this is that I was making a point in in the very beginning as to why the sport isn't growing with newcomers. *facepalm* why are you bringing...

My apologies if this is off topic, but theres a couple observations that ive always been curious in getting some information on, and since were on topic of this boat id like to mention them. First thing, is why do almost every RC iteration I see of this have the wing tiplets in the back, but...

straightened between heats? What are you talking about, you know not everyone is strictly sharing the same goals as you...... its not a moot point? are you basically saying its important that you prove your correct? ummm lol "suitably amazed" he says..... LOL wow. You know, being amazed vs...

The numerous guys over in Europe use these all the time and never have any issues with durability. Anything that would chip this would inherently damage any other typically used material too, so its a moot point. The point is that it looks amazing, is light, and could/should be a potential...

Hey guys, just wanted to post this as I thought some of you may find it interesting. I had this setup custom made by a friend in Germany. The bracket is T6061 aluminum if I remember correctly (EDIT: incorrect, not sure what kind actually), thats been anodized black and has threads tapped for...

*sigh* this is exactly what I mean, people so quick to come up with random excuses as to why outside ideas shouldnt be implemented..... PROGRESSION over TRADITIONALISM guys!! Okay, first, no one within our community is going to produce any single thing for scale hydroplanes based on the intent...

Well in terms of raw volume or material, piece for piece composites are lighter than wood...The main content of my post was mostly in regards to Steve, for whatever reason, utilizing such a heavy and thorough layup. I simply dont see any reason for it needing to be that strong and thick, and...

I got a little "winded" so to speak from all the typing I did in that small time frame, but I actually didnt even get to the biggest change I made.... Basically, when I recieved the hull, I was very impressed overall with the quality of the "fiberglass" work. Compared to a couple other epoxy...
