very nice idea.......
obviously all of us have been looking at the electrics brilliant result by the jag team.
I to was well impressed and have also started studying the boat design. now i haven't made anything yet because like most of the respons we had here was will the cg work out with the heavier construction?????
obviously buidling light is the way to go and also Glenn Quarles has allready told us to get rid of as much not needed material in front as possible.
the JAG boat is a perfect example.
now the electrics put their heaviest bits in front I guess (the batteries) as close to the first boom of the jag design boat (as i refer to it for now as i don't know who did what first) as possible. what if we move the engine there.
i just thought if we build something like this in nitro maybe we are stuck on the boat layout of a rigger to much to go for extreme things.
this will sort of get the cg nearer to what it was. still building light of course.
now the problem might be the fuel tank... where do you put it???
well my thought was this obviously close behind the engine. either make a special tank shape were the prop shaft runs through or put two small tanks either side of the propshaft,,,,,,,,,,
extreme and strange?? yes definatly.......... the solution maybe but just my concept at the moment.
any comments suggestions? be a good place for a nice discussion perhaps..
and of course Jeroen keep us up to date with your plan and how it works.
btw it is dutch building work so the first name might not be to far out :
