1972 Notre Dame

[Bill Brandt]

Latest 1/8 Scale 72 Notre Dame complete. Hull is all carbon fiber. I received the "Steve Muck" hull from John Borden in October and worked fitting, sanding and painting throughout the winter. I'll campaign the boat this year with the Northwest Club RC Unlimiteds. The boat uses a 67 CMB, Savox Servos, a 67 Muck Pipe, Speedmaster Rudder, Gary Jensen Strut, Home Made Skid Fin and Airtronics M12 Radio gear. As she sits without fuel the boat weighs in at 11 pounds 8 ounces.
Big thanks to John Borden. I also want to thank Scott Meyers for engineering and building my tanks and son David Brandt for his engineering thoughts and help in layout. Time to go RACING!

beautiful boat.

the small ND crest on the nose is an accurate detail not seen on many '72 ND models.

where did you get the graphics ?

 

[David Ashcroft]

Great finish like the oldschool pickles.

These graphics are Mike Mcknights. Another I had before came from Wesleys.

Inside lay out pictures?

Would like to see how you have it

 

[Bill Brandt]

Not exactly a good shot. I'll do better when I pull it back out. Set aside for now to get FE 82 Gilmore ready.

[Bill Brandt]

Yes, Borden/Muck.

I Left the cowl on this one in its 3 piece config whereas on the Notre Dame I joined the 3 to make a one piece cowl.

i was surprised to see the 3 pc cowl on the electric Gilmore.

seems more likely to leak.

the ND and Gilmore are my favorite 108 scales.
