New Texan .12 "Classic"

[RodneyPierce]

wow Glenn!! Talk about free. holy cow!

 

[anthony_marquart]

Yeah. That can only stranslate to more power on the prop. That is really cool. Glenn do you have the collet and shafts for sale. My rigger is all set up with the hybrid now and that could make the transformation complete

That pipe looks familiar, is it the one I think it is?

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Hey Kelly, you bet it is!!! It is the carbon Texan from Brian Buaas!

Hey Anthony, right now all the .21 wire drive stuff has to be hand made. The hard part is the collet. The .12 wire drive collets are made by octura. I make a few wires for sale but they often take more time than I have now days.

Hey Gil, there is a lot of wire drive info for the FE boats on rumrunner. I think FE is where it started.

Not trying to take sales from Glenn but in the "how to" forum I started a wire drive thread with a link to a place that makes all sorts of wire drives.

Glenn have you heard any more on the smaller Octura collets for my engine? The 130 or wire drive?

PS Glenn I finally ran the little beast today!!! Will have video up later!!!

 

[Kevin Krogness]

I should note the wire drives that place sells I believe are all mated to a 3/16ths stub shaft and do not run bearings like Glenns friction free setup Which I hope to try later this year or over the winter...

Thanks Gill.

Here is some of Glenns wire drive. Note the Texan video is of his older one not the current one in this thread.

Just wanted to do a quick update. Glenn got the Texan .12 in my hands, and I hope to talk to him in the next couple of days to confirm some sponson design info on the prototype before I start transferring the model into a kit. I hope I can get this done in a reasonable amount of time! I have to say, it has the most character of any rigger I have ever seen. The lines are beautiful in person...just hope I can transfer that into kit form! More soon, Mike

Jordan getting nitro on his hands??? Well, I suppose it could be converted to EP.
