Gas Scale Build

[lohring]

I posted details on the current version of my gas scale hydro, the $ Bill on modelgasboats.com I hope this will help anyone who is interested in gas scale. A special thanks goes to Brian Buaas, not only for engines, props, and setup, but also for losing a cat fight a few years ago at the NAMBA Nationals that supplied some slightly used Seducer hardware.

Lorhing,

Hi there. Can you tell me who made your turn fin?

Thank you. Jim

I entered two scale versions of the $ Bill, a 1/8 scale electric and the gas boat, in the Nationals yesterday. Brian agreed to drive and promised that more structural testing won't be needed on the gas boat.

I made the turn fin. It's the third one after my thunderboat fin and a new 3/16 fin bent. It's 1/4 thick and needed a new bracket with equal strength. These boats can really load everything.

You need to bring her to the pond so we can see her run.

When I bring it out, Dale keeps running over the buoys with the boat. I did plan to run it at the club this weekend, but I had an emergency I felt I had to deal with. I'm upset I wasn't at the District 8 race.
