SAILR's WHIP 20 FE BUILD & MY PROTOTYPE WHIP 20 COWLING PLUG

[Mike Luszcz]

Well, I have been building a custom Whip 20 for Sailr (Jim) here on OSE, and I figured I should share some pics with everyone. The boat is now completely framed, and the bottom sheeting has been added. I am awaiting his hardware/ electronics before I continue. In the mean time, I have decided to start the prototype plug that I mentioned when building Hebner's Whip 20. I actually got the plug built this evening, and just put the first coat of epoxy on. Once its dry, it will be scraped, and another coat added till I get the final look I need to make a mold, and make epoxy Whip 20 FE cowlings from there on! It looks so awesome in person, and the pics really do not do it justice. This should finally be the alternative to the Vacupickle and Blazer cowl. Enjoy! Mike

The whip 20 FE cowling is now complete, and I am taking orders for it. Epoxy glass version is $52.00 shipped and comes untrimmed so you can fit as needed. Carbon fiber or kevlar if offered, but is offered on a case by case basis, please email! Here are some pics! Mike

man that looks nice! I have been thinking of making one up for my whips as they are WAY tight to set up nitro!

That thing looks magnificent.

i noticed you have added wood around where the cowl would normally be full glass.. would the cowl you are making be big enought when it comes out of the mold so you don't have to add wood there.

i have one but i run a nitro motor

thanks
