New 101 boat in the fleet

Ray Sametz · Sep 22, 2020

Nice Doc, is that a new type of 3rd channel needle?

Nope, Just a K Needle (Alan Hobbs) style. Looks like there is a boom clamp the has a carb plate mounted to the side that the needle base sets in.

Thanks, having a blast trying new things and concept.

Taking it to the next level. What is seen is just the tip of the iceberg

And like an iceberg it may just be a disaster and fall apart. BUT IT HAS BEEN FUN IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND TRYING NEW THINGS AND IDEAS

ALLAN YUEN · Sep 23, 2020

Wow Nice look like Ironman rigger

RaceMechaniX · Sep 23, 2020

What is up with those ride pads. Looks like a witches broom.

I was thinking more like duck feet.

timothy johnson · Sep 23, 2020

Really nice Doc !! Hope to see some video, was Mark involved?

dr gary turner · Sep 23, 2020

No, this is a boat that has many unusual and off the wall concept’s from design to materials used

Mark builds a good all around heat racing boat.

This boat is like no other boat that I have seen. It may turn out to be a dud. The little testing that has been done looks promising.

I have had a blast being involved in the development of the boat.

Hey Buckshot. Those feet on those ducks work REALLY GOOD when they come in for a landing at about 20mph, skim right on top of the water and come in for a perfect landing.

Watched some Canadian geese do a landing. They did a Base Leg, made a turn into the wind, dropped their landing gear and skimmed across the water for a perfect landing..

I think we can sometime learn a lot from nature.

Funny you say that, I took a class my freshman year on Innovation.

you’d be amazed at how much of the tools in our daily lives and most basic “can’t live without” things are ripped directly from nature. Definitely a lot to be learned from observation!

Dr what’s the best way of joining those sheets of CF together?

That class would be really interesting

That is a great question. If you are glue CF to dyvinicil CA works great. Mark Bullard has been doing this for years

The carbon fiber composite I used on the 45 hydro had great bonding characteristics. I did some tests and CA worked great. Slow cure epoxy was better.

The 101,Panel Adhesive was used
