how are the 1/8th scales guys

[Dennis Whitt]

You guys crack me up!
I just hope the bottoms of your 70MPH(LOL) hulls are nice and bright. Hate for my Squire to have to autograph one while i'm tooling by to take the checker!

Hey Ken,

I'm guessing your still playing with "toy" motors. Your gonna pull the old wait till the fast boats flip deal and I'll cruise on by?

My Atlas has it's dings so I'm not worried about doing battle this year. Get out of my way cause I'm coming through, lol. B)

Dennis, Paul and Ken..

Your only hope is that I don't finish this hull and if I do you guys can battle all you want for 2nd and 3rd

:lol:

 

[brooks93]

well decided to do a sub-hatch vs making the covers that came with the boat water tight..

has 2 layers of cloth and 2 layers of carbon fiber

put it on wax paper and let it dry so it would dry at the same arc as the hull

rough cut..

A sub hatch, eh?

It that so you can submarine the boat? Sort of like Naylor's Q/S Sport War Eagle?

WOW! You guys talk more smack than us nitro guys. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[brooks93]

LOL I guess it just been cold to long..

 

[Dennis Whitt]

Hah !!! Too cold Too long ??? 8 inches a few days ago and long term, the weather man says 2 or 3 more major storms b4 its over.Too bad RR crushed the Shoot outs.5 days in sunny Fl. sounds good right about now.

Yep,the FE comunity is pretty tight.Lots a smack.But at a race its group hugs and lots of laughs !!

As far as the BUD. No gear meltdowns this year.Direct drive and Lipos for the "Red Rocket".Can I drive her ?? Leave a hole and find out.

 

[K.R.Joye]

Found a pic of the Tri O/B Texmo Unlimited. This would be a cool setup to get out on 1/8 scale course. Those 3 roosters would wash those 70MPH rockets down real quick!LOL

KELLY i dont no where you find the time or $ keep up the good work!

Speaking of exhaust, just ordered a pair of Twin Turbo Allison exhausts along with a set of mirrors for the Squire.

 

[brooks93]

just added my mirrors today and working on the adjustment for the front wing

I sloted the front wing enough to get a 6/32 screw in it and then I put a thread insert into the hull and threaded the screw into it to hold the wing on and hide the mount.. Then I filled the slot with west systems and 404 filler. wet sand it down and add some paint.. wont see a thing.. Made the wing adjustable by turning the 4-40 screw attached to a airplane control horn.. did the same thing on the rear wing and it work like a champ

(note control horns and sanding hasn't been done.. LOL)
