canard hydros

The Canard is a special boat that NAMBA has made exceptions for and I think that Gordon has suffered the back-lash from those exceptions. Like the pipe being exposed... the four point design... I think that our club would accept a Sport 40 canard, don't you Gordon?

they might be ok with it until you beat 'um with it, then they would make a stink. just like the exposed pipes you could build a boat that way and people would except it then you start doing well and they'll want you to chang it

The canards will scare the crap out of you. I bought Cecil Reynold Circus-Circus 1/8 scale canard and when I first ran it I had no idea it would go tearing off like a highly modified rigger. Thing hauled big time. Everyone in Golden Gate park crapped their pants because nothing had ever gone that fast in the lake before!

[wingnut]

Norm, I'll have to dig up that tape and make a copy for you. It may be the same one that had that weird 3-engined Dumas 'rigger on it, the one with the K&B 3.5 OB's, one on the transon and one on each front sponson. :lol:

[wingnut]

i actually like the one at bandit , the full length cowl looks a lot better . i think they got the molds from evergreen. i was kinda hoping to get a used one because it would be an experiment and not a race boat.
