Miss Timex

[P THOMAS]

I finally have done some progress on the Timex. Laid up the hull last week and getting the setup done. Have the motor mounted and the fake engine in position. Planning on using some spirng roller cabinet latches to hold the motor on. Any one have other good solutions to this problem?

I will get some picture uploaded soon

I never got those to hold worth a darn. I made a hinge setup that keeps the motor on the boat.

I went with these http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXMHB4&P=7 they are smaller than they appear in the photo and hold tight until you turn the 90 deg. I wanted to use Mike's hinge system but it wouldn't work with my radio box setup. I agree the cabinet latches aren't reliable.

OK I have some magnet sets too. I have the rear cowl mounted ok, pins in the rear and two snap latches like the roller latches in the front. I was working on getting the scale motor mounted.

sorry phil you are correct..missread it first time...please post pix when done ...

 

[P THOMAS]

I was looking at 4 roller latches for the motor, but maybe 4 magnets would do the job.

These round nose are a pain :lol:

Of course I am using the Mac with the carb sticking up under the scale motor too, that adds to the problems.

Havent gone over to the green side yet.

Looks nice want some pics of my motor hinge? In Rcu if it falls off your Dqd In D-14 if it falls off it gets run over.... Nasty to ruin a sweet motor with a prop or turn fin............

Cause of the Mac carb I dont think the hinge would work.

Phil, I believe a hinge setup will work with a Mac.Hopefully the Mac does not move,and the trick is to clear the carb as you raise the dummy engine.I saw Mike's pivot in Evansville last year on the Indian(gorgeous boat)and started there.

I'm using a multi pivot linkage on my 68 Miss Bud which allows me to attach the hull pivot low in the hull and still swing the engine up and forward to clear the corner of the engine compartment, and would also clear the Mac carb.With the dummy engine in place ,it also lets the link appear similar to the engine mounting rails on the real boat.

If I have time to finish it ,Ill show it to you in Evansville in May.I don't have a set up to send pictures, but I'll be glad to send you sketches or discuss over the phone if you,re interested.

Thanks Scott

Atlas will be around this season agian

That is Larry Kramer stuff. My friend, expert scale builder Greg Hahn built the motor for me.

The life jacket I have had around in the shop for a long time dont remember where it came from.

Hi Phil,

Look like an other cool boat. Check with Gerg Hanh he has his motors secure by a hinge seems to work fine. Ans one less thing to do in the pits.
