MAYBE ITS BEEN TRIED (AND DISQUALIFYING MY 'ORIGINAL' THOUGHT)WHAT ABOUT A VARIABLE DEPTH RUDDER , ONE THAT WOULD BE ALMOST COMPLETELY DRY UNTIL NEEDED THEN AS MORE 'RIGHT TURN' IS APPLIED IT GRADUALLY DIPS DEEPER INTO THE WET.THE LIGHT THAT FLICKERED OVERED MY HEAD WAS ONLY 7 WATTS AND SO THERE...

i HAVE HAD A BIG RESPONCE WITH THE FULL SIZE DRAG BOAT GUYS(AND A LOT OF HELP IN TUNING THE HULL CONTACT AREA SHAPE)THERE'S ALSO A BUILDER THATS GOING TO SEND SOME 'END CUT' BALSA.IT'S SHEETS WITH THE GRAIN GOING THE SHORTEST WAY,SO WHEN IT IS LAMINATED BETWEEN FIBERGLASS IT ACTS LIKE A...

I'm considering the idea of keeping the RX in its own radio box (mono with plenty of room)to lessen the chances of water getting to it.is it worth the trouble?,I'm not too concerned about the weight gain.

In the process of learning to paint with polyester resin I have found that an easy alternative to masking tape(and the problems caused by it, waiting time and adhesive residue) is pva resin mold release solution.its easily sprayable,quick drying(even over tacky resin)and when the area to be...

thin polyester resin with 15% to 20% acetone (25% to 30% for gel kote) add pigment, pearl powders, dig the pigments from the bottom of model paints that have settled ,test ,test, test. and cleanup must be IMMEDIATE. the results are very fuel proof and any paint effect can be achieved.

Just wondering who from the board is going to be there

Ok now only 14 away

Run on down to the computer store and get some transparent film that your printer will print to(ink-jet here)print up whatever you want,cut it out then epoxy it on with a thin coat of clear epoxy over it, for fuel proofing(i am using resin in my case but there is no bleeding or bad effect to the...

I'm going with black inside everywhere except the radio box ,for visibility I'm using white.

With a surface drive setup, is there any impact(no pun intended) on the performance having the prop blades hitting the water with the piston at TDC and BDC or at mid-stroke?and how much difference is made up by flex cable twist?

At what point is a mono hull not considered a 'mono',but becomes a catamaran or in my case a tri-hull?How deep must the hulls be in relation to the channels to no longer be considered a 'mono'?

Dale P. Nope, got to the stage where I was gonna start applying mold release and then took an angle grinder to it and shaved an inch off the top of the whole hull.No small task rebuilding it,but I wanted to pop the first one out of the mold just the way I wanted it.No big rush here either...
