Winston Eagle Lobster build

[Mike Luszcz]

Had some request to share this kit/ build. I am building this for myself. Got the first kit in yesterday and actually got it about framed up last night. It incorporates a lot of toy tabs, threw framing to help square everything. Really gonna be a cool hull. It also comes with all the center pan sheeting to help make the build a snap! It also incorporates sponsons designed by one of the best out there. Thanks to this person, you know who you are! Mike

mike,

i certainly can't blame you for concentrating on that lobster. it's a very interesting hull and your build is going great. you can't stop now.

are you going to use phil thomas' glass kit cowl, rear wings and front canard ?

Here are some more pics. center pan is done, former bottoms added, and non trip on the sponson added. Now the harder parts begin. Gotta start epoxing the interior and added carbon along the floor pan, then the next work can begin. That work starts with the sponson bottoms. Temperatures here are so cold its gonna be tough to do this right now. Gotta finish up a customers Whip 20 first tho! Enjoy the pics, Mike

Also, for those interested, I am finishing a 20% over GAS scale Lobster right now. it will measure 57" in length, with a 5 1/2" inside engine well width.

 

[Jeff Schindler]

Wow! Gas lobster? Ill send you a PM.

 

[rbeyer]

Awesome as usual, Mike. What size carbon fiber are you using for the floor pan?

My wish list keeps increasing. I have ALWAYS wanted to build this hull.

B hydro yes but it's not legal as a sport 20 (or sport 40).

Why not? That hull design can fly in both class because its half unlimited and half rigger..

Sport class hulls in the impba can't be outrigger style. It's in the Rule book must be 3 point hydro design.
