The 1/4 Scale DPI Tunnel is no longer being produced.

Although it is not shown on their website, I think Aeromarine Laminates has a big gas Preditor. Also, Zipkits.com is worth considering for a wood kit. There's other gas tunnels out there, I just don't have info on them. Maybe someone else can provide some info.

Hi Winzracing,

Contact Dominic Young on www.youngzrcboats.com

His gas F1 boats run very well ! Just on 100 KPH in race trim !

Also search youngzrcboats on Google for two links to see his boats running on YouTube

Good luck !

Hi there Winzracing,

With your opening greeting in my home language, you've certainly got my attention ! Where in the world are you and how come you can speak the taal ? If I know in which country you live, I may be able to give you more specific detail of suppliers.

This is just my personal opinion, but I think the gas legs from Lawless in the USA are best ! Greg Morty in Australia also makes a gas leg. The Zenoah range of gas engines are available virtually anywhere in the world !

Till later,

Cheers,

Wennie.

Hi Barry,

Hey thanks for sharing your info and it's really a small world ! I had also been obtaining most of our requirements from James since early last year and had the honour of being an OER team member for South Africa. In fact my wife and I visited with James in Germany last month and we all miss the incredible service that he provided but unfortunately he had to close his business earlier this year !

Anyway, send me your e-mail address to [email protected] then we can keep intouch for when you visit Cape Town. You'd be wellcome at our club !

I dont know of anyone in the UK who supplies the Lawless legs but I think Dave Marles at Prestwich supplies the Zenoah engines.

Cheers for now,

Wennie.

Hi Barry,

I'm not the expert on these big boats , infact I've just started to build my very first gas boat with a catemaran hull and 26cc water-cooled Zenoah. I've been racing 3.5cc and 7.5cc nitro F1 tunels for the last two years.

However, we're now in the wrong section on this forum, we should be talking gas boats on the gas boats section.

But e-mail me direct with all your questions and I'll see how much I can help.

Cheers for now.

Wennie.
