My new P spec JAE finally done

bzubee · Feb 12, 2014

Now I just have to wait for the weather to clear up. Sure is a slow build using epoxy for everything. I wanted to hold up for a long time. Should be interesting since club is going to try and have a local P spec series for the year. We already have 4 of them now with about 3 or 4 more getting built.

Looks great Bill. It's a fun class and the best bang for the buck in FE racing.

Bill looks good,is that a turn fin from Dave P? If so what I did was add a stiffener plate to it as it was flexing more than I liked. Also added a stiffener to the rudder assembly keeps everything that should not move or flex in place. Not saying it won't work as is but that is what I did. Jerry

Hey I got a coat of paint on the P spec last night. Need to put down another coat and then put her back together and she will be ready for the water.

I have 2 sets of spare sponsons glued up just need to start finishing them now instead of Dow rods to hold the turn fin I sliced a 1/8th" aluminum plate in and so far it seems to work great still need to drill and tap threads. Plus I used divinycell foam instead of the stock blue stuff. The spares are super strong.
