    Ray,
    As a matter of general interest only, fiberglass is a form of plastic referred to as "FRP" or "fiber reinforced plastic". I spent many years in the plastics industry, so of the few things I know something about, this is one of them. Doesn't really matter, just and FYI

        I will call them tomorrow. It would be best if they upgraded it to some other material or FG.

        Ray,

        I'll be running the same setup at my club races next year. I'm curious to how many mAh you use in a four minute race?

        I've been practicing on the club course and pulling nearly 5000mAh for four minutes on BJ power & m445 prop.

              I am relatively new to the EP Boats but I have flipped my MG twice with no issues, I must admit that I tape my lid down every time.......It can be a hassle sometimes but it has rectified that issue for now....We'll see in the future....Any others?

                  Hatch issue

                  I am the owner of GET U SUM inc, we build custom boats, fiberglass everything, and I will make the offer

                  someone send me a hatch, and I will pop a mold off it, and will start laying them up for everyone, let me know a price that is fair....... I can do the mold and NOT cause any damage to the original part as I will make the mold out of urathane.

                  I need help on something I am looking for a large outboard to pop a mold off of, as I will be using it for a dummy, for some of my customers who want outboards on the 42" Skaters we build

                  I am also looking for where I an buy the strongest gear box, that wil hold 4 hp, 1 input and 2 output shafts, I know there has to be some out there, as I know the large elect engines will produce that king of power

                  Do not laugh ut I know absoultly zero on the elect boats.

                  I have a blank KOS hull I want to get back going , can anyone here help??

                        I have one I can ship to you but, it has a fair number of cracks in it. Some through, some not.

                        If you look at the top of my canopy, you can't see any cracks unless you slightly twist it.

                        I'd pay you a few bucks to make me one.

                          I would like you to send me pictures of the hatch you have, to see how much work it will need.

                            I have a hatch that will be here tomrrow, I am glad to help everyone out, I should start having them ready in about a week, painted and un painted, please e-mail me @ [email protected] as I need to know how many to makepricing ???? painted depends onhow many I make as I will paint them to match in deltron, and it will be like glass, or I may choose to gelcote them, that will add weight, asyellow takes more coats to cover,

                            Let me know if you want one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, sure could use that engine cover, for a 7.5-11cc nitro outboard, soI can make some dummy outboards, if not I will make a plug,,,
                            if you can find one complete I will buty it and give you a free cover

                              Sorry I could not help you out but, it was faster to get it within the USA.

                              I am just laying some Carbon Kevlar into my cracked canopy.

                              Count me in for one of your hatches, I'd rather have FG than this plastic, repaired or not.
