beautiful things to admire. If we all just took a break and observe we would see so much more to life.

I stand corrected :P I had the moment of inertia on my mind I ment CG .... :lol: had to edit my reply Yes! I agree that whip and short drives seem like good reasons to move the motor back. :unsure:

Great looking build MitjaJ! I have to try working in Solid works when I get a chance. On to the subject of inertia & CG... there was a post here about Japanese riggers running their motor to the rear. In some cases the motor was way back it seems on a few of their designs :huh: no one...

Interesting ...what finite 3D program did you model the boat in ? ie solidworks, Catia? would like to see what your design looks like care to share? :)

6) Aerodynamic Drag- This is one that is many times overlooked in boating. Rounded surfaces are inherently more slippery than blocky or abrupt ones. This was proven with the Unlimiteds back in the late 80's and early 90's when the Circus and Bud camps both raised the speed of their boats by...

Looking good ! camaroboy nice colors !!

Hang in there dude! I hope you find time to finish the hull. As for the OPS yeah if it has compression and the bearings feel smooth then you should be good to go... Paul did a leap frog and got his done, if I can get down his way this weekend I will try to take photos. Might inspire us both to...

Looking good Paul... Im still cutting wood I have the rails and bulk heads are cut..I have the foam for the sponsons and now Im working on cutting out the template for the sponsons and getting some wood blocks for the booms. Heywhire where are you at on this project?

Sounds good keep going! Heywhire what servo do you plan to use for the rudder? and Paul being you have a servo mount already installed for the rudder whats is your servo choice for this project ??

Your G sponsons look great! I know that on the 12 Jae the sponsons are different widths so I imagin that the 45 is very much alike with the stronger and thicker Right sponson for turn fin mounting. Question on the tie in of the 1/8 ride pad.. is the ride pad directly on foam or did you skin...

Heywhire sorry I dont think that fix is nothing but a band aid my friend not down grading your work just that you can fix it temporary or do it right and be done with it.... I think Paul and Moparbarn are also both giving some pretty sound advice here... Pauls solution to the support for the...
