If you make a glass version of it, can you please show me what the mold looks like? I eventually will make a mold of my sport hydro/40. Wood guy I am, Glass guy I am not.

Brian

 

[Mike Hughes]

I'll give it a try.

 

[Mike Hughes]

Hey it worked for me.

[Brian Blazer]

Mike,

Can you tell me the numbers on the prop you let Eric use for the Whiplash at the Namba Nats?

Thanks, Brian

If you have any specific mold questions I can probably help you out. I tought myself how to make molds several years ago. They are not as hard as many think.

A comercial fiber glass supply house can be your best resource for the proper materials and methods. I know I asked my local guys alot of questions the first couple of times.

Eric,

Looks good, nice pics too. What type of foam is are your using for those sponsons? Oh yah Excuse this newbie quetion but what is a Mutt? <_< Keep us updated on your progress.

 

[not2bright]

are there any plans in the future for the mini mutt? or is that just Snake's thing

 

[Mark Anderson]

The foam is 5 lb. Clegacell. Mutt is what I call my sport boats. No original ideas just stuff I like from alot of boats put together in one package. The 3 series is the latest and is in prototype stage.

The sport 20 that Bruce is building is not a Mutt. Bruce is a very good friend and he used some of my ideas about sport boat design, but they are all Bruce. The boats are beutifull, I got mine last week.

Hey Mark,

Is there also a Mutt 3 sport 40?

 

[Mike Hughes]

Oh man, this sucks. I have not seen mine yet. How is my cowl coming? Guess I will have to give old Brucy a call.

Mike

PS It doesn't matter anyway. This is the boat that I have been working on lately.

There was a Mutt3 sport 40. After winning it's first two heats of competition it was destroyed in the third (24 inch concrete piling + 60 mph boat = splinters).

Mike

Bruce brought me the new cowl plug last week and I am starting on the mold.

[Mike Hughes]

it was destroyed in the third

Oh yeah. I remember that. Mark was not very enthused about boats after that. It was looking real good after we fixed the turn fin support problem. It is too bad it did not live real long.

Hey Mark

Are you building 1/2A pylon planes? I got that email from Ray. That might be fun. Seems like little cost and racing locally.

Mike

 

[not2bright]

when i ran my dads boat it came about 4 feet from getting destroyed by the same piling.

bad times

 

[Mark Anderson]

Mike

I have my first 1/2A about ready to test fly.

[Glenn Quarles]

Hey Mark, how's it going? Its been a long time! Did you ever fly that 1/2A CL you bought when you visited me in Alabama? I was really happy to see that you are running Carl's tunnels...we were good friends when I lived in AL. He sure designs good boats. Can't wait till me meet up again. Tell everybody up there Hi for me.

I did fly that plane. Funny I never got that dizzy when I was a kid!! Been flying a little rc pylon this year.

Carl builds the best tunnel boats out there.

The Mutt 3-G got radio gear and hardware Thursday. I am rewoking the sponsons this weekend. I was not happy with them. I normally machine the Cleg foam in my mill but decided to try doing them on the band saw this time and they did not come out as well as I had hoped.

Hey Mark,

Care to give out your source for the "Clegacell Foam" ? Been looking for a supplier thatt will sell what you need (2' x 4') instead of a full sheet.

Thanks,
