2011 U-7 Valken 1/8 scale FE build

[Don Ferrette]

Don, what prop are you going to start off with?

Something in the 55 to 57mm range.

If I may ask, is your rudder mount a custom, or commercially available mount. That appears to be more of 'scale' mount than others I have been looking at. Starting the hardware search for my '94 Bud T-4 twin wing.

Thanks, Mike

That rudder set up came from Andy Brown (CMDi) but unfortunately is now made of unobtanium. A real shame too as they actually look like they belong on the back of the scales.

doesnt BB hardware use the same design?

Don't think so. Nothing on website even looks close

I think it's the Swedish stuff that is on Nicklaus Englund's site.

Maybe Mark Sholund can get a hold of it.

Nope the CMDi hardware is no longer available, total bummer for sure. The turn will be from Dick Tyndall as always.

Don I read somewhere that Mr. Tyndall was hurt in a boating accident and no longer makes the fins. Is that true?

Dick was injured in a real boat accident be he is still cranking out world class turn fins.

Hey I'm in the shop building but have switched gears to get the new freshly painted twin Crapshooter together. The main parts for the Valken are in white epoxy primer and the plan was to shoot some colors later this week once graphics arrive that are on the way from Mike McKnight. Stay tuned................. B)

 

[hugh hargett]

where can I get a look at that crapshooter? What would a crapshooter electric twin hull run me that could handle 10 hp? Do you have a post of your crapshooter build?

 

[hugh hargett]

Don Im about to burst .

 

[michael winter]

Any progress Don?

 

[Don Ferrette]

Any progress Don?

I had to put the Valken on the shelf to work on SAW stuff. As soon as the Nats are over next month I'll get the colors on it. I have to or I'll not hear the end of it from my buddy Mr. Liddycoat. :lol:
