Well brought #2 back to life tonight, ready to see what she will do this weekend.

Brad

Where do you have your cg at ?

Putting one together that's been sitting for a few years and seem to have lost the set up instructions

Thanks Mike

From the transom forward around 11" also depends on the nose build up as well, on our Stilettos that is.

 

[Bradley Maglinger]

First time the boat has been in the water since the 80's with no test time. Handles great full trigger the whole time, just need to work on prop for more speed

Feels great to bring a retired boat back to life!

 

[Bradley Maglinger]

Anyone asking the setup on the prop, this is straight from the good ole Manuel great info!

However I couldn't find anywhere in here

That shows me how to set this up..

Time to rebuild the nose and get her back out on the water. A lot of people didn't know I swapped to the white canard during the middle of the season bc the front nose blew out on the orange one. White Canard was a solid 2nd 3rd place finisher all season built around 85?, but she is retired now and mirroring the nose from the white one to the Orange one

I got this handed down to me from an aero club member that died last year. I'm thinking of just doing a repair with some carbon fibre cloth to the crack under the right hand side sponson, cleaning it all up and just restore it to how it was before it sat for ever in the corner of a shed. It had a Picco P80 in it in a semi stripped down state for reasons I'm yet to determine. I know it has stuffed bearings but short of that I think it would rebuild and run ok. I can vaguely remember guys running 45's and a few with 67's in them way back when they were around so I don't know what the 80 is all about . I need to get some hardware for it, flex shaft rudder etc. Also missing header and pipe. I have no idea with Picco stuff for year of motor and I know I'd struggle to get parts but as I said more so a restore thing for me and maybe give it a few runs for fun.
I haven't run a glow boat for prob about 12-13 yrs so if I get it to the running stage should be good for a laugh anyway.
Anyway here are some pics.

Terry weathersons old boat Jason , will be giving life to the canards in 2016 as I got some deceased estate stuff also.

 

[Jim Angier]

Hi Wayne,

If you decide to sell any Canards, please let me know.

Thank you, Jim

 

[wayne middlemiss]

I will , but just got to wait on construction of workshop to finish before I can get the plug waxed up etc for new mold

 

[Jason Yendall]

Yeah Wayne that's right. I ended up with a few helis that were Terry's as well as the canard. I got them handed on to me via Mike Young who has also recently passed away.

 

[Jim Angier]

Hi Jason ,

If you would like to sell the canard please let me know.

Thank you, Jim

 

[wayne middlemiss]

Can anybody shed some light on who the original designer of the stiletto canard was other than the dagger boat works name, also is there a cowl that was original with them, would like to see what it was, as you can see the mods and changes of what you have in the u.s.a.
