Hello All
Here is my JAE FE Build.
I want to Thank Doug Smock, Kent Seal for there awesome JAE Riggers that
I downloaded pictures to get the proper way to set up a JAE from.
Also Tino Almanza for Mo-Knowledge.
I added my own way of doing things to maybe make a good running, long lasting
Rigger I Hope
Here are my pictures:
JAE FE Build-01
Shows the .125 thick Carbon Fiber Motor Mount and the .125 Ply
Glue plates for both sides fresh off the CNC machine.
JEA FE Build-02
Shows the parts weighing at .8 of an Ounce.
JAE FE Build-03
Shows the stock Motor mount weighing in at 2.2 Ounces.
JAE FE Build-04
Parts above all assembled into hull with motor mounted.
JAE FE Build-05
Line up tube shown with access to motor screws. Screws require a needle
nose pliers to get them in place, but then they go in pretty easy. Motor mounting
took less than a minute to install all 4 screws..
JAE FE Build-06
Carbon Fiber Strut / Rudder back up plate and the Plywood back up plate
That will install inside the hull.
JAE FE Build-07
Brass Tube installed into transom for waterproof seals to attach to.
JAE FE Build-08
Plywood back up plate installed.
JAE FE Build-09
Jim Mamaril's beautiful strut attached.
JAE FE Build-10
Another view of Jim Mamaril's beautiful strut attached.
JAE FE Build-11
Rudder Mounted
JAE FE Build-12
Another view of Rudder with Aluminum Sullivan Quick connect.
JAE FE Build-13
My CNC Laydown Servo mount with Carbon Fiber hold down pressure plate.
JAE FE Build-14
Wood portion of servo mount installed.
JAE FE Build-15
Hitec HS-645MG servo installed with 4-40 pushrod hooked up.
I will after paint use the Aquacraft radio box seals inside and out onto
the brass tube.
JAE FE Build-16
Overall View.
JAE FE Build-17
Stuffing tube installed.
JAE FE Build-18
Aquacraft Rubber Boot Installed.
Also Vacuum Fitting hole drilled for antenna
(Thanks D Smock)
JAE FE Build-19
Receiver mounted to servo hold down cover.
Water line installed and secured with Ni-chrome wire.
JAE FE Build-21
Water outlet fitting installed.
JAE FE Build-22
ESC installed, water lines installed and secured with Ni-Chrome wire.
JAE FE Build-23
Here I could not get the collars I wanted so I used 2-56 x ¼"
Flat head screws to hold the sponsons in place.
I drilled half way through the solid carbon fiber tube and used a flat
bottom tap to thread the boom tube.
It was a pain but it is very strong.
JAE FE Build-24
Overall view of finished JAE….Note the Mike Hughs 7075
Aluminum turn fin….Very nice and very strong.
I can not wait to run it...........
