You guys should see the exit wound that rear boom made!

That front boom didn't rotate on the collar ether, it rotated inside the sponson as well!

 

[Slideblues]

Yikes!!!

Paging Dr. Benns! Your needed in ER

Hey Chenco has Hummingbird parts? What parts? How much?

What size hull? 8)

Phase III Racing: How much to ship from OZ.........

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Well I glued the booms back into the RH front sponson, but found I will have to do the LH front boom tube too. Looking into the sponson there was 2 carbon bulkheads and the sponson side that the rear boom broke out of. Where it came out of the sponson wasn't too pretty. :- It wont look very nice this weekend, but at least it will be there! ;D

Craig has a whole 67-80 kit! ;D

Nitrocrazed racing: Fix it. Run it. Break it. Fix it......

 

[Slideblues]

Rats Just told Tim D. I was think'n about doin a naughty and put a 67 in a 45 Hummingbird

He,He,He 8)

Phase III Racing: Those kits are expensive!!!!

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Gene,

You dont need to do that, a 67 is not a big boat! My extra large custom boat is smaller than a 67 SG and much lighter!

They aren't cheap but you get what you pay for and I have never seen a wooden boat built as well or as light. Maybe even too light!! The price is about the same for Road Runners.

Nitrocrazed racing: 7hp. 3.8 kg. Rocket......

 

[Slideblues]

They are a Very well made hull ;D

Phase III Racing: Shameless plug..........

 

[Slideblues]

And the sizes 8)

 

[TimD]

Gene,

look how much they cost here in Oz!

[Slideblues]

WOW!!!!!!

I'm speechless.............

Phase III Racing: Thats a rare condition fer me......... ;D

 

[EatMyShortsRacing]

Yep I have the 67/80 kit and I think the 67 will be fine in it. Just need some time to finish it... (read start building it)

EMS Racing one day.... LOL

 

[TimD]

I'd love the 45 boat but I don't have that sort of money to spend at all!

 

[Ian Inverarity]

I wonder which is the lighter hull, my 100 Humingbird or the wideboy 45?

Nitrocrazed racing: Kitchen scales dont get used in the kitchen....

 

[EatMyShortsRacing]

Ian,

Wait till you see what I use to measure engine parts....

EMS Racing Post 400!!!!! (where did my picture go???)
