I can't remember if Remy (Aeromarine) made those, sounds familiar...but I do know that Prather had a Pirahna (old school)...I never had one, just a couple of the Prather Spitfires. Don't know if that will help or not, just thought I would throw that out here.
maybe its not? the guy told me it was.. I got pics of it...I'll try to post it and you guy can tell me what it is then...I can't remember if Remy (Aeromarine) made those, sounds familiar...but I do know that Prather had a Pirahna (old school)...I never had one, just a couple of the Prather Spitfires.

Thats what I was thinking to,,it looks like there stinger rigger...after looking at areomarine stinger,,this is a stinger..
so is anyone running one or am I the only one running a aeromarine .21/.45 rigger?
thankyou very very much for that rigger....Once I get the boom and sponsons setup the rest will got together easly,,I hope..I do see riggers running collors around the boom tubes,like the cajun bullet rigger..somebody said this boat is simmilar to the eagel??? anyone got pics so I can see it??
I'll plug the ends of the tube thats goes into the sponsons..I have the blue print but its kind of veg on the setup of the sponsons..it say to epoxy the main big tubes on to the wood.. then put two sheet metal screws threw the tubes into the wood and then epoxy that to the floor ...I wanted to know if both main/big tubes are subpose to be the same measurments on left and right sides?? then tellacope the left side sponson out..for the 3/8-3/4" out ??
Yes, both tubes measured out the same distance should be fine...then adjust out on left side, drill and put 4 stainless screws through all of the sponson tubes (with aircraft type locknuts on all 4 corners)to lock it all down. Have no worries...just make sure you put silicone in the ends of the smaller (4) tubes before you epoxy them in so no water gets inside the sponsons!!
Ok just got back from the swap meet..Dave Roach ,Dan Kramer and Rick Reisinger..looked at the rigger...they sudjested for me to make new sponsons,,because there alittle on the heavy side and alittle to wide....sudjested maybe using a different style sponsons too....was told you cant drill holes in carbon fiber tube because ,the tube will split on you.the strans runs side to side.....was told I could cut them down abit..then add alum tube and epoxy them on. then side them in and drill the holes threw the alum tube..to bolt to them......might try to sand down the sponsons to lighten them up...but still make new sponsons and use alum tubes instead.......other wise the tub they said is light as the wooden ones..I'll keep you posted on this...Did find a motor for it too...Joe talk to the guy too...It a nice picco.21 nicley built too....Not much boats there.. Dan Kramer and Me had our boats on display....Proubley 8 boats guys were there for what joe told me...there where more plane guys then you can shake a stick at...
With all riggers the angles are super important to the way the boat performs. Would suggest that you look at the setup articles that I wrote some time ago. All the angles should work well for you.

OK, I understand. I use CF tube in the sponsons I build and add a 3/4'~1" gap between the sponson and main boom tube. THis space give a place for the stub to shear if I hit a bouy or other hard object. If you tap into the aluminum stubs, it should work fine. In any event, nylon washers should be placed under the head of the screws to protect the tube.
I was thinking of that..make a temp from these sponsons ..cut the foam and then skin them with thin ply,then coat them in epoxy..thinking on making the JAE 45 H/G sponsons for it too..Wonder if they would work in this rigger??would be very interesting...we do like the design/style of those sponsons too on the JAE.45
