Thanks Ian! Anyone else have some pictures? Also looking for a way to make the front sponson support! That spans between the sponsons.

How about this?



I've had a hard time keeping the sponson support on mine. It either gets broken during heat racing, or someone in the retrieve boat trys to pick it by the support and breaks it.

kevin,

there are a few photos in the cdenslow.smugmug.com unlimited hydros SCANNED gallery, 1974 - 1976. might not be the exact same boat you're building but similar.

check all of the older scanned photos , may be others.

the newtonmarine.smugmug.com galleries may have your photo but difficult to see the images.

check the billophoto.com hydroplane photos collections ( bill osborn photography )

also check unlimitedsdetroit .com photo archive using the search feature.

and finally, look at the beautiful 1/10 sale electrics on the classicthunder.org and E-RCU.org websites. these guys research their projects very thoroughly and their models are great references.

good luck,

dave

Kevin,

I'll send you some pics of all the variations of the Thrift.

I use a aluminum (K&S) Streamline tubing 3/8" wide, and run an 1/8" K&S steel rod thru it, make it as long as possible so you have at least 2" in each sponson, rubber gromet to finish the holes at the sponsons with a little shoe gue,goop adhesive cement to keep it in place.
