Anyone tried driving a boat using an FPV system like this: http://www.fpvpilot.com/Pages/default.aspx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvuqWzEWG7E I think a race using one of this would be realy cool.

Even though it's not the very best, going straight to the hardening stage without the annealing stage will improve your props shape holding ability and make them less prone to edge dings. I don't recomend annealing finished props though. That process is pretty severe and would distort them so I...

Very cool. I think Classic models had a kneeler type hydro for sale at one time.

Thats a slick arrangment,

I was looking at the Prather mod kit. It looks like it offset the skeg by alot. Im looking at an offset of 3/16". Would this still have such ill effects?

Thank you. Thats what I wanted to know. Im finalizing a design for an fe ob. From a manufacturing stand point it would be easier to attach to the side. But, if it doesn't work well for tunnels Im not going to do it. Christian, Thats cool! Did you get it in the water?

There used to be an OB maker or two that bolted the rudder fin on the side of the leg. It's something I haven't seen in a long time. What is the down side or up side of doing this?

Nice looking boat. As a base line, an Octura 645 prop you should give about 6 minutes. Prop choice will push that up or down.

You could throw gravel with that thing. Geez

It has come to my attention that the Picco 12, and possibly others, have a 6mm sg crank shaft versus the common 7mm sg. The conversion flywheels that I make are all made 7mm. I've found a solution to fitting the SG flywheel to a 6mm shaft. You can order some brass metric tubing from Mcmaster...

If you're concerned about flex you could soldier a piece of brass tube or angle down the side of the strut. This will stiffen it up.

The local news reported that this "global warming" has been kinda rough on the male prostitutes. :lol:

I like to see people hang it out there and show their stuff. I looked to be a big project. Very Cool.

I just find it amazing that hip joints are replaceable. Enjoy this time and get well Carl.
