Hi Everyone,
I am not giving up, I want to build boats and I plan on competing and eventually beating you all lol But until that time I need lotsa help(mental mainly........lol) but seriously, Todays problems are I am trying to do a bench start of the engine I have and I cant get it to pop over. I got glow,fuel to carb,fuel to cylinder but ya know i can some times see little air bubbles in the fuel line and they don't move unless I hold my finger over the carb? Ohh yeah i need a real starter I think, I am using a cordless drill for a belt starter now and it just dont work well. I also am trying to seal my first tub ...........lol(preschooler with finger paints) its sealed ya but its not some art work like alot I see here. By Sunday I plan on having the boat back together enough to get a wait on it and see if it will even come close to floating. I think I gonna go with the futaba 3PM synthesized I think , I am also gonna try micro servos with metal gears futaba makes a few. Geeeez I hope this little thing will float lol Ive spent alot of time trying to do a good job with it and for it to sink would kill me If anyone could Please help me in my quest I would be for ever in your debt these forums are what inspired me to try and build a boat, until July this year I never ran a boat or owned anything nitro ( just some cheapy RTR EP planes and helicopter and I don't fly the Helli, in my case its a money pit every inch of attempted flight is a $1-$50 in repairs)
Thank You In Advance,
Paul
