@BobLondress - If you are up for building, the attached plans will work for the N class. Doug Campbell's (when he was offering wood Classic Hydros kits) are somewhat based on these plans. The above 30" shovel nose RedMan hydroplane would most likely be based on similar G. Finlay plans. If you...

Helping out with the links. Cheers, Thompson

Few more photos.

I’m a scale guru to the core, but wanted to get back into racing. Yes, both can be achieved, but mostly with 1/10 vintage and newer hydroplanes. I do have several hulls in this category (1954 Breathless U-22, 1979 Pay’n Pak -thank you Don Wollard!), but I’m going to be delving into F1, F2 and...

No it’s not me, I live up in South Lake Tahoe and currently my hobby shop is set up on one half of my dining room table and paint shop is outside with the bears, Lol. Yes, Sam my friend is the real deal and located in Oregon. He has both the toolbox in garage, workshop, living room along with a...

Posting for a friend in Oregon w/limited internet access. He has one NEW Vision 20 Race Tunnel Hull (fiberglass), recently built by Mike L. and includes FE Radio box. $275+$30 shipping in US 48 states. Hull is fiberglass in what Mike calls the “light” build. (note: Custom wood stand shown is...

Hi Brad, would you be open to offer of $60 shipped for #5 mount? Cheers, Thompson

@julianconde - Thanks yes, I know Mike bought the moulds and is manufacturing now. Was hoping someone has a used one they are willing to part with. I might end up going new.

Wanted to Buy - Looking for a Vision 21 hull or complete, located in NorCal. Thanks! Cheers, Thompson

Looking for photos, drawings or any information on the original Monokai .21 hull. Jump into the hot tub time machine, I used to own one when I worked for Charlie Pottle at Marine Specialties in Saratoga, CA around 1976-77. I bought the hull kit new from Gary Johnson at Hobbies Galore and...

@David Bryant - That's a great idea, totally agree. All I can remember of my monokai was how smooth it was. Possibly from my lack of knowledge (as a kid) on not knowing how to dial it in and with an old technology, lower rpm Veco .19. Limited to mostly my budget. Sure would like to revisit this...

Digging an old thread up... @Will Gallagher , do you still happen to have your monokai? I used to have one with a slightly modded Veco .19 when I worked for Charlie Pottle at Marine specialties in Saratoga, CA back in 1976. I'd love to find another or at least build one up. Originally bought...

I am in contact with Gary and he is supplying the latest updated plans available, you can read about it here. http://www.rumrunnerracing.com/feforums/showthread.php?p=293892#post293892 Cheers, Thompson

You can try http://www.nationalbalsa.com I've had really good experience with their Sitka Spruce and 1/16 ply

I have just ordered two of these Allison V12s, building 1/10 scale 1954 Breathless U-22 from Gary Finlay plans. Doug Campbell classichydros.com is wonderful looking all wood kit. Super responsive on emails, communication and shipping, great price at $25 considering all the time and details in...

Wow this thread brings back memories. I worked for Charlie Pottol at Marine Specialties in Saratoga, CA, first summer of high school in 1976. Ran a Dart-V, Sk daddle-20 and Dragn'fly 20 I bought from Gary Johnson, that had a wild paint job. I used to take the county bus from Saratoga, CA to...
