Guys don't say I told you so !!!!! :'( I took my new D27 to the lake for it's test run , had started it 3 times at home , set up my equipment fueled that baby up put the glow driver on[ I use a power panel] and nothing !!! NO FIRE !!!! What the ??? tried everything and still nothing . I will not loose my KOOL !!! Loaded up came home and unloaded I'm going to see whats up!!!! Hooked it up put the same plugs I used at the pond in the glow driver and @#$%^&**()(@#$% they were working now???????????????????????
I'll just clean her up it's OK !!!! Took the cowl off and noticed fuel and oil in the tank compartment ??? didn't tighten the main tank stopper, pulled the tank and @@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@ all the paint was screwed and the transom doubler on one side was loose !!!
I used white appliance epoxy on the sponsons and RUSTOLEUM BLUE with a top coat of TOPFLITE LUSTER COAT CLEAR !!! 5 coats and 10% fuel destroyed it and the CA GLUE I used to install the transom doubler and attach the bottom sheeting to the frame !!!!
GOD DID ME A FAVOR TODAY !!!!!!!! ALL YOU NEWBIES TAKE HEED AND DO NOT CUT CORNERS !!!! USE EPOXY OR AUTO PAINTS AND CLEAR COATS !!!!!!
BECAUSE I HAVE A MESS AND WILL HAVE TO REMOVE EVERY BIT OF BLUE ON MY HULL OR JUST THE CENTER SECTION AND COAT IT WITH BALSA RITE BEFORE ANYTHING WILL STICK . USE AUTOMOTIVE CLEAR COAT AND PAINT AND NOTHING ELSE !!!!! The appliance epoxy is great but you are limited to white and beige .
