[wswatzell]

My attempt at a logo. What do you Think? :-

[Hammerhead]

That looks cool Wade! Where did you get the illustration?

Do you have one showing its teeth ;D.

[wswatzell]

I did a search on the net for hammerhead sharks. I didn't find one with teeth, but i didn't look very long either.

 

[Hammerhead]

I went again today and ran it about 15 times. I got it leaned out to where it should be now. It is faster yet. Still haven't flipped it either. I had someone take a vid of it today, too. I hope that my server wont quit on it half way when he sends it to me later today. Hopefully I can get it to Mike so he can host it for me.

Have a mail out to grimrace to find out about the tank. No answer yet, but I would like to have him make the custom tank on request.

price:????

If you buy a complete set, the shipping is free, if you by parts of the set, you will have to pay shipping. Hopefully, though, Wade will be able to get it in inches for you all, so you can pic up what you need at you LHS.

The hardware package looks great. Now I know where I can get the hardware for it. Getting the dimensions into inches is really easy, so I had planned on doing that.

 

[Hammerhead]

Yeah! Wade! I think that if you use 1/8 inch wood where I use 2mm, and you use 1/32 where I use 0.9mm, every thing will turn out pretty close. Going to have to re adjust the measurements for the bulkheads and the top and bottom planking. I also used five ply stuff for my planking so I didn't cross cut it. If you use the 2 ply stuff, most people will cross cut it for the top and the bottom of the hull.

Anyway! I'm getting close to finished re-drawing the plans from my notebook to something that is a little bit more understandable.

Should be finished in the middle of this week. I will send you the directions by email, so you can cut and paste where needed.

Got the price from MikeZ on the tank.

$34.00 plus shipping. Not a bad deal at all for one of grims beautiful tanks.

I got the mail from the vid guy last night, but the file wouldn't open. Looks like my server wouldn't let them pass. I have a 1Mb limit on email transfers. Gonna have to get it posted here, then link it.

[Hammerhead]

Hey! I finally got a vid hosted by one of my friends. He said he could only keep it up for a few days, so if you are out there MikeP, could you do me a favor and copy it and host it for me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Here is what I have as of now.

Hey Wade! I'm drawing like crazy now. I'm almost finished. I will get them to you Thursday. Bye the way! I will mail you some sizes, can you see if you can come up with some similar stuff in inches. That way I can make referals to U.S URLs for supplies. For example the carbon sheeting and carbon rods, ext.

[wswatzell]

I think that if you use 1/8 inch wood where I use 2mm, and you use 1/32 where I use 0.9mm, every thing will turn out pretty close.

Are you sure you would want to use 1/8" ply in place of the 2mm? 1/8" is a little over 3mm. 1/6 ply is a little thinner than 2mm or 3/32 is slightly thicker.

Sure not a problem with tracking down some US equivalents for the carbon fiber rods, & sheets.

I will keep an eye out for them late next week then. Have you come up with a logo yet, or did you want me to try to find another picture of a hammer head showing teeth, & modify the one I did?

That video is really cool!

 

[shoboat]

Hammer,

I watched the video and it looks like the boat needs

to hook up more with the water.Try a 1440 prop

and reduce the blades a few MM if you have to.I

really like the boat and we are waiting for the plans.

You do a VERY NICE JOB LIKE MIKE P.

Thanks,

Mark Sholund

Hmm! I tried to post, but It got dumped.

This is a summerized version of what I just posted, just in case it gets dumped again.

Thanks MikeP your a savior!

Wade! Your right! Shows you what an idiot I am when it comes to inches.

Showboat! Thanks for the comments! In the vid, I'm using a V937. I tried an S215 later that day. It launched with out cavitation, and it held the transom steadier. As far as top speed, they felt about the same. I will order a 1440 today at the LHS that I patronize, and give it a shot. Is it .187?

Hammer

It worked! ;D

 

[Hammerhead]

Oh! One more thing! Wade! I like the logo. Let's go with it. I will send you a file of the directions when I get them finished. Please add the logo to them, too.

That boat looked to go quite well! Congrats! ;D
