Jae 21 GT done

[Butch Londrigan]

The weight on the 21 GT came in at 4.25 lbs. RTR no fuel. My older jae is 4.65 lbs. and its 3" shorter.

Butch,

Is the new version just longer on the tail end of the boat or did they add the length somewhere else?

 

[Butch Londrigan]

Just to the rear that I can tell.

Nice job Butch!

 

[Tom Foley]

Beautiful build ! Should be a missle !

 

[Tom David]

Very nice looking 21 Butch.

 

[Butch Londrigan]

I would like to thank everyone for the compliments. Thanks Joe from zippkits for a great kit.

Butch,

Those 21-Beta EVO's with the Bouchie pipe are Pretty Stout with

the newer ABC propellers. We are testing the 1819-23-38% and

the 1919-19-38% this weekend or next, weather permitting. The

extra 3" is really allowing the boat to float thru the air and water

better.

Thanks For Reading,

That is why Mark is my Prop guy. Great help. Thanks Mark for what you do.

Thanks Mark, hopefully you can share some results with us. Maybe even have some props we can buy!!!

Tim,

Remember I do not make the propellers, I just finish them.

Butch has bought his propellers so he can test his set ups.

They are available, just sometimes in limited quantities.

Thanks,

Mark Sholund

Thanks Mark, just waiting for you or Walt to have some in stock.

How do the KEP's and JAE compare Butch?

[Butch Londrigan]

I like both. Have yet to run the new jae. I will get some videos in the next few weeks. Hopefully.

Your new boat looks great Butch.

Hey Butch, nice boat!

I hope you can bring it to the cities to race with us.

I just finished converting my JAE 21 G2 to a GT by building a new tub for it. I would say Joe has made major improvements in the kit. You almost can't build it crooked with the interlocking tub sides and bottom. Interesting also that they are now running some toe-in on the fin sponson. Mine came in at 4.32 lbs. I am using 3 metal gear servos, which are pretty heavy I think. I also decided to build it with the S-bend in the stuff tube, which I had stopped doing.

 

[Butch Londrigan]

Vary nice Bob. Will see about coming up to race. I like your build nice work.

Butch and Others,

Just had some test results on the ABC 1919-19-38% come in today.

78 mph in heat race trim. More in the boat for sure. DD-21 Nova.

Thanks For Reading,

[BobBonahoom]

That's an 1819-23-38% on my boat in the photos that Mark did for me.

 

[shoboat]

Bob,

Let me know how that one works for you?

Your new Boat turned out very nice.

Thanks,

Mark Sholund
