looking for kneeler hydro plans,or kits

[Stacey Linder]

I was recently on you tube watching rc boat videos when i came across a kneeler hydro with an electric outboard on it ,it was awesome and fast, I did some more research and found that jerry dunlap built one and blackwell racing built one .but I could not find anything recent;if any body knows where I can get plans or kit let me know thanks.

Jerry Dunlap is on IW. Why don't you ask him directly. I'm sure he has plans.

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

Plans and a construction disc are available for $35 mailed in U.S.

wow I did not know I would get a response from the man himself! I just have two questions for jerry ,what is length of boat and where do I send money.

 

[Mike Luszcz]

If it was electric, that was mine. Lot of requests for kneeler plans lately, are you still racing them Jerry? Mike

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

Hi Mike,

We are racing the Kneelers out here. We've had as many as 6 at a few races.

I also have Kneeler plans for sale for the 3.5 class on my site. www.blackwellracingboats.com

The plans have all views, full size patterns plotted for every part as well as building instructions and construction photos. And yes, there has been a lot of orders lately.

Did either of you ever refine the design enough to allow for a normal sponson heal mounted skid fin, or is the bracket method all there is?

 

[Stacey Linder]

thanks for your response.I used to race outboard tunnels in the mid 80s, I hade a boat called a trophy tunnel built by john otto,k&b motor, red carb, and equi pipe, in 40 class I had a aerotech tunnel with k&b and the pipe was made by same guy who built aerotech boats, I have been wanting to get my son into it and the kneeler hydro looks like a good place to start,and since I have been flying electric planes ,and know a little about lipos and such,I think I will go with electric outboard, thank you

I'm still using the bracket method to mount the turn fin.

If you saw

full size electric outboard hydro, It was Mike Bontoft's world record holder. I'm waiting for someone to build a model of it.
