Twin .12 Texan...

[Glenn Quarles]

Friends, here are a couple of pictures of my twin that I just finished. I spent a couple of hours yesterday running the motors in....it is starting to sound pretty cool! Finished weight is 3lb 7oz.

A couple of folks I would like to thank...my good buddy Rod for modding the carbs for me so they can both go the same direction and Mark S. for doing a really nice job on a matching set of props.

I may get the chance to run it today if the wind lays down...

Please post a video of it when you get everything dialed...

Glenn,

I think that is a very cool boat. Clearly lots of thought went into it. I really like the way the Novarossi mills run-out the front of the tub. I think this is the future for Novarossi set-ups in rigger-type boats.

I came to a similar design for a 21 hull........it must be natural progression. The front exhausting is going to be very friendly to tuned pipe length settings

are you planning to put the boat under cowling?

Thanks! Yeah I hope to get some video once the motors get enough time to start leaning on them a bit.

Thanks, my plan was/is to put a cowling over as much as I could, but once I got everything together there just isn't an easy way to make something real swoopy. So for now I just settled for the small cover over the front just to clean things up a bit.

Chris, it is crazy simple (I try to boil things down the the simplest, lightest ways possible). They are simply CA'd to the bottom of the stuffing stub on the last 3" or 4" (right in front of the strut) and taped (standard radio box tape) to the bottom at the front. I have run them like this a BUNCH on my .12 and .21 boats and have never even changed the tape yet.

They work really well, go around corners like crazy, weight nothing, take almost zero time to build and adjust with the strut.

Thanks Mark! I have to say these are the nicest of the props I have received yet...the finish is VERY nice and they are nice and thin.

Thanks again,

Friends, I have had the twin out twice now. The first time was just trying to get the motors broke in and even though I had a hard time keeping the motors in tune, I thought the sound was even better than I had expected.

I then ran the motors a couple of times in my single just to get a little more time on them.

Yesterday I took the twin back out and after a few more needle adjustments and a prop change it finally started to light up and get the "scream of death" I was looking for...not quite there, but getting closer. I am very happy with the way the boat is working...just plop it in and it drives away, it runs straight and solid, turn good, etc. I'm hoping to get more speed, raceability, etc as I play with it. I will get some video as soon as I can get someone to go out to the lake with me.

Looking forward to hearing those .12s screaming!

 

[Buckshot]

We need to plan on meeting at the Novarossi Pond in a few weeks. We'll have an opportunity to park the smallest twin I know of on the same table as the "bath tub".

I look forward to seeing and especially hearing the twin .12 at full song.

Glenn you gonna bring that twin to Lubbock?

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Glenn you gonna bring that twin to Lubbock?

Yeah! I hope to have it running reliable enough to race in 20 hydro (needs a little more time on the motors).
