New Plan: Cheese .12 Outrigger Hydroplane!

[TomMoorehouse]

The Cheese .12 design testing is going excellent. I have decided to start selling the boat plan with kits scheduled to be available mid/late summer. The Cheese .12 outrigger hydroplane is an all out heat racing design. It is designed for the hot new .12 engines currently available. It is stable in tough heat racing conditions and can put you in the winners circle! It includes a 3 view drawing and a parts cut out page. It is an electronic .zip file with .dxg .dwg and .dc file formats. It is automatically downloadable after purchase. Check it out at: www.FireFighterBoats.com

Looks like a nice design Tom.

You did a nice job on building yours Paul. What props are working for you?

Mark

 

[gooycheese]

The props that do work are x637,v937,1938 I haven't tried the old faithful props i ran last season which would be the 215 or the grim 40x53. The 2137 did not work , I tried but couldn't get the boat to catch and get on plane just would cavatate for about 20ft and would die.

Tom
Not to give away all your secrets but what are the major diff's from the original 12 or the Blazin 12?

Is it roughly the same size?

Thanks,

Tom W

Tom M.,

The boat looks great, but if I may add some non insulting changes. First, the front and rear sponson chine angles could be increase for more antitrip. Second, there looks to be No dihedral on the front sponsons. You might want to add a little to get a variable rate foot print progression for less drag, plus will help with the antitrip. I am very big on chine angles. They help in stable cornering when the water is crazy rough. A lot of chine angle is desirable to a point, but makes the sponson tops to wide & bulky so you have to back cut the decks like road runner does to streamline the profile. By the way Road runner did not invent that idea, it been around since the 1950's or earlier. Other than those items I just described the little "Cheesy Rider" is looking good !!

I just finished my new Firefighter 12 today. I haven't ran it yet.

Right now it is just a Chucky. When it grows up it wants to be a Chucky Cheese.

A picture is in my gallery.
