This forum is now ended. Come see us on our Facebook page Bishop Aeromarine.

As this forum has been derailed and destroyed by negative, abusive comments and such action is condoned by the administration of International Waters​ this is my last post and I consider this forum ended! Testing on the boats starts this weekend. To contact me or for test results email me at...

Hey Ken, what class was the real boat running? Was it an unlimited or what? Reason I am asking is, I wonder what type motor the real boat had in it, a V-12 or V-8? Joe

To all the Guys that have followed and enjoyed reading this forum, I apologize for ever indulging the people that post on forums with the sole purpose of being negative and disruptive. I will not respond to any such posts again. I am seriously thinking of shutting this forum down because it...

You are one pathetic old man! I have ask you not to post on this forum as you only have stupidity to offer but you are to ignorant to realize when you are not wanted so I have reported you. I'll let the moderator deal with you!

OK Joe Warren, now I know what yanking means as International Waters sent me your message before you had a chance to edit it!!!!! Mikey you not going to see a Phantom anytime Soon cause it is going to get SMOKED...... They have No idea what they are Up against in todays Racing Competiiton...

What exactly does "yanking" mean?

Before you get too far, be sure to seal all the interior wood with epoxy. If you don't, even condensation can damage the wood. If you don't have any epoxy resin yet, just use 30 minute epoxy glue thinned with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Do not use 70% isopropyl alcohol as it has too much water in...

Hey Ken, I didn't know you was building the little hydro! Looks great! Take an old builders advise and don't use balsa for the top decking unless you glass it with one layer of 6 oz. fiberglass cloth. Just drop a screw driver on the balsa decking and you have a hole. The cloth will...

John, I said "booms" not boom tubes. Booms can be fashioned from anything. My original PHANTOM had "L" shaped aluminum booms. Joe

Ken, I don't know if I will ever produce a TRIKE II. It is a beautiful design that I never got to run to my satisfaction. Now in the physics sense, it should work much like an outrigger with a ski "in reverse". I think one of my biggest problems was turn fin location and balance. After I get...

Hey Andy, maybe you didn't read a later post of mine but I recanted my number 2 statement. I did build a few kits of the TRIKE. After 35 years, I had just forgot about doing it, LOL! After thinking about it, I remembered all the guys that were ragging me to build some kits of TRIKE so I built...

Obviously you don't like this forum so don't read it! Go elsewhere! It is one of the largest forums on International waters because there is a lot of people that do like reading it. I will test my boats when I am ready and no amount of trolling from you will change that! Less than 100 boats...

Thanks Tim!

Hi Ty I am building on them right now. I am building two Ultra boats, one Elite boat and one GOBLIN FE-P (electric) boat. All .21 size boats. Two will go to England and two to Tennessee for testing. Joe

I have used and been around catalysis (2 part) type paints for years and what I have found (as all of them are harmful) PPG brand seems to be the worst! I tell you, every time this paint subject comes up, people start getting mad! I get enough of that just trying to drive down the road and...

Don, I have been building and flying R/C airplanes for 41 years now. I owned the first roll of Monokote ever released by Top Flite back when I was still flying control line models. I have used Lustre Kote since it was first released. As for becoming more fuel proof the longer it dries, I can...

It appears that everyone has their opinion. Some for and some against. I reiterated what guys posted of their own experiences with the paint, so here is what I am going to do. I will leave the little boats exactly as they are, we will test them and let you guys know how the paint holds up.

Dan, the inside of the boats are not painted. They are epoxy resin. I have always ran my outrigger boats with holes in the bottom in front of the bulkheads (except in the radio compartment). This siphons off any water that gets in the boat while running and also siphons off excess oil from...

ALRIGHT! I started reading up on Top Flite Lustre Kote and found that a lot of guys use it on their boats with good results! The only thing that was mentioned was that the longer it dries the more fuel proof it becomes (app. two weeks). One guy has been running 60% nitro in his boat with no...
