8700 U10 scale boat

[P THOMAS]

This boat is a new one that I am building. It will be the 94 U10 Winston Eagle. Been working this winter on the hull and made a nice straight hull to do the molds for it. The hull and all the cowl parts match the Newton plans, I had and old cowl that was too short so it was cut, chop and rebuild all winter to get the parts like i wanted them and scale to the Newton plan. I started this project with one of my T5 boat hull and started at the nose and worked my way back to the transom turning it into a 8700 hull. This is going to be the nicest U10 hull available.

Here is a album for the build of the U10

SWEET boat Phil, just wish you did this 5 years ago when I went through my hard core Smokin' Joe's days.

Phil, will this hull be available soon? I need one....

Just PM'ed you Phil in regards to a cowling set cost for this hull. I just bought a used Newton built Smokin Joes, and this would be a nice addition! Mike

 

[P THOMAS]

Yes i plan to build kits of this one soon. I can make hulls and all the cowls now .

I have not done any real setup testing but it is the same bottom as the T5 and that boat has a good setup and is a race winner for a few years.

This 8700 should balance out better too cause the nose is longer and the motor is more to the front.

I like the Winston paint job look but the Joes looks like it would be alot easier to do isnt the joes all yellow and just the cowl center purple? The ictures I have seen it has a white bottom or is it all yellow?

Don you do need a new Joes boat.

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Sweet, let me know about the cowling set!!! The Joes is an easy paint job. My paint just arrived today for the build! Mike

It worked out real well like that with the carb ahead of the joint in the cowl, should keep water out of it ok.

Very nice big daddy. I could use a Smokin Joes..........

Looks Great! I'm thinking on doing the Winston Eagle. Going to start saving now.

Phil,

Boat looks great!!! How about some bottom shots of the hull?

How much for the driver insert? I need one for my new Circus two wing hull.

Keep up the good work!!!

Been working on the front wing canard flaps, have them mounted ok. They could just be glue on at an angle, but no :blink: I had to figure out how to get them in there and still make them operational. made a 3/16 pivot pin on the outside that goes into the sponson side and then a 3/16 rod is insert thru the nose side. i will have a setscrew fix the rod to the flap so I can set the angle of the flap. I will add some picture

WOW, Phil you've done it again! I might even have to get out of the " MR Madison" stereotype!

BIg AL :lol:

Hi Phil, I did the similar thing with my canards on the Joe.... My rods in the canards are 1/8" and I used a pin from the canard into the sponson and another pin that was glued into the canard and then ran into the tub on both sides. I then connected them with a brass sleeve with collars and added a control arm which is linked to a 4th channel servo. Mine is operated by a switch on the Futaba 7C transmitter with pre-set limits of travel. Level canards normally and then flip the switch and up they go to while running.

Cheers

Here is the bottom picture.

I did much work to make it straight and it sits flat on the table, the sponson pad angles are equal.
