I found this pipe in my garage and I have no idea who made it. It is about 10 3/4” right now and appears to be a .21 pipe, Prather maybe?? I am hoping you pipe experts can identify it. JayP

Thank you all for your input! Since I have the stand I will use it and follow your guidance on break in.  I will run a few tanks on the bench watching the temp, then put it in the boat and run it on the water.

I received a Hudy break in bench as a gift and since I can't make it to the pond as much as I would like, I figure it is a good way to get the initial break in runs on the motor at home out of the boat.  This unit is primarily designed for car motors, as it is setup to use a car pipe.  For those...

My .12 is the same way, that is why I am asking about the .21. You may be right, maybe it has something to do with speed and slippage.

I am not questioning the designers at all, I am just wondering why not use boom collars instead of drilling and bolting the sponsons on the tubes? Wouldn’t it allow for quicker boom changes, toe in adjustments, etc.? Just curious.

I don't know if JRS Innovations is still making his stands, but I would like to find one for a JAE 21 nitro.  Any leads will be greatly appreciated. Jason

Thank you all for your input!

I am doing the final assembly of my JAE 21 and I have a few questions. I have attached an image of the rudder I got from ZippKits and I am wondering if you leave the bottom of the leading edge rounded or should I square it off before sharpening? As it sits now, the rudder is about 1 5/8”-1 3/4”...

Daniel, I will take the 2 if you still have them? JayP

I should clarify, I got them from Brad, I am thanking him for them. JayP

Got what I needed. Thanks a bunch Brad! JayP

Mike, I thought about servo horns, but yes, they rotate and snap into place which I like.

Brad, I like to use them to hold down the rear of the cowl. They work well for this application. I thought about magnets, but I have a magnetic power switch so I dont want any other magnets on the boat.

I know CG went out of business years ago, but I an just checking if any of you have a pack of the flat hold downs laying around that you would be willing to sell me? Thanks, JayP
