GAS SCALE REAR WING

[mark couty]

I snagged a built gas scale Ml boatworks 7931 Circus Circus off of JRCBD.

I do not like the bent wing and want to change the boat to a Lucero style wing and run it as the 81 Squire shop.

I read somewhere that someone is making the wings, couldn,t find the post. Who is it guys? Thanks.

You can make one out of blue foam and cover it with glass

 

[Don Ferrette]

I checked out the pics on JRCBD, while you're changing things it would be nice to see the strut under the boat where it really should be for a scale and the rudder brought closer to the transom. Just my opinion........

 

[mark couty]

I agree Don, some changes need to be made as you afore mentioned. help me out on the rudder strut length, what would be a good length. And Mikey i dont want to build a wing, just want to order one. So who makes them ?

Hey anyone got a wing they want to trade, remember this is a gas scale. thanks.

Mark,I have an old wing in the shed,it's from a P.I. Gen 1 hydro. Need alittle tlc but in good shape.

Give me a call.

Jeff Snell has molds for the Bud style wings. For this hull to be a legal Gas Scale the strut needs to go under the bottom. Rudder stand off is open but I would use a 1 5/8 bracket with a 60/90 blade.

 

[mark couty]

Strut will be taken care of, on the rudder issue is that 1 5/8" long from the back of the transom, and what is a 60/90 rudder blade, you got a rookie here so I need a little more detail. Thanks.

 

[Hydro Junkie]

The 60/90 refers to the size of the blade as related to the size of the engine used in the boat. As far as the recommendation John gave you, it's pictured at this address: http://www.rossisales.com/ruddernew2.html

the rudder is fine just need a shorter mount for it so it doesnt stand so far away from the hull, I suggest a extended flat bottom strut, remember if you plan to run in a IMPBA event, the prop drive dog cannot extend past the transom, be sure to compinsate for the 1/4 between the dog and strut, and the wings that jeff snell makes should work

does the IMPBA have gas scale rules ?

 

[larcor69]

not as of yet, but most that are building a gas scale are following some of the 1/8th scale rules just to be on the safe side

 

[mark couty]

I was told to follow the PNWTA rules.

 

[SayMikey]

We are following Namba rules or PNWTA rules. Enough are being built now that I will shorty submit the complete set of rules.

GOOD ON YA, Mikey.

That looks like a command decision - Direct and to the point. I like it, keep it up .

I'm looking forward to meeting you and Jeff in Atlanta. Get some more of your area boaters to come on down - I think we'll have a good time , race some boats, tell some lies, and enjoy ourselves. Rick Bellinger has really been trying to grow Scale at this race since he's been in Georgia. I'm going to support my old Friend. CHEERS !!! Bob

mark if your not useing that wing and whant to sell it pm me plz thanks rob

 

[mark couty]

Guys I am still searching for a wing. I am not much good at scratch building but could build one if I had the parts and instructions. I am having difficulty communicating with Jeff Snell, not sure if its a computer issue. If anyone can get a hold of him, could you have him PM me here, or if anyone knows of other sources LMK. Phil Thomas does not make the gas scale wing, I have already heard from him, and neither does RC Boat Co. Thanks.

 

[Mike Starrett]

I could build you one from wood and foam if you like. I would need the length,width and a nice picture of the original or one similar. Mike

 

[harvknox]

Mark,I don't know which wings Jeff makes,but I have one of his rear wings on my T-6 gas scale with a wood ML Boatworks hull,however,his canard does fit the MLB hull.

mark,

check with Rigo at RC Boat Works - Stryker. an MLB gas scale 7931 recently sold on JRCBD that supposedly had glass wings from RCBW.

you'll need to email Rigo with photo of something similar and ask about availability. good luck.
