Very nice Jan. You people sure have it good having access to Lake Legg or is is Legg Lake. Great camera and camera man.
Tony's DF33 is of great interest too as I am building one myself.
Looks like you guys had a great day.

Thanks Paddy...
it in deed was a great day, the "Legg Lake Moster" did not claim any boats today.
;)
Tony's DF33 is awesome to see, soooo fricking fast and handles GREAT... considering I am not a Mono man myself, that means a lot.
I owe you an email BTW

That's it!!! I'm laying up a new one for myself sunday morning. I haven't had one running in a couple years. Time to remind my club mates what tat boat is capable of.

Boat looks good. Do you have an airdam under the front end?

Ub Hauled

09-12-2009, 01:46 AM

No air dam yet Brian... so far she's sticking the straights,
2 lap setup, maybe I can get her ready.

Tony, we have to do this again, today was a good day...

Great video. I was lucky enough to snag one of those hulls myself. BJ motor and esc, wire drive and a ball bearing strut. Couldn't be happier. Any pics of the how you set the inside up?

Your Camera man rocked! I tried to take a few videos myself. Ended up with 3 minutes of rooster tails and 20 seconds of the boats on the screen.

Do it!! I was the one talking to you a few weeks ago about the ride pads I assumed came with the boat. That hull really does great with spec power. For what ever reason (I don't know crap about what makes hulls work) it didn't seem to mind rough water at all. Oh ya, post pics please.

If I'm not mistaken,[ Brian correct me if I'm wrong about the hull] a Dark Horse Shovel holds the NAMBA LSO SAW record set in 2006 by Dick Crowe : 56.25 mph with a brushed SS1 on 12 NIMH's !! Dick offered to sell me the boat after the race; wish I'd done it :doh:

raptor347

09-12-2009, 02:48 PM

Dick's LSH record was set with a scratch built wood pickle fork.

The DH does hold:
Namba-SAW records.
N2 sport hydro-67.81 mph (NiMH)
O sport hydro-64.86 mph (NiMH)

IMPBA-SAW records.
N2 sport hydro-77.506 mph (LiPo)
O2 sport hydro- 67.044 mph (NiMH)
P sport hydro- 80.964 mph (NiMH)

I think it still hold 3 5/8 mile heat records as well.

Whoops, I meant LSH , not LSO [ I took the LSO record that year] Dick's boat was a shovel, white, red & blue. Record still stands in LSH.

I thought Dick Crowe broke the record with that Miss Mariner Too...

Yup; a Shovelnose - Thought it was a DH, but that was three years ago and with my mem....Hey what was I talking about ?

Dunno, I forgot...

raptor347

09-12-2009, 09:05 PM

Dick actualy ran my Mariner Too for the N-2 record. He'd broken all his toys by noon on saturday so I handed him my DH to run for the rest of the weekend. He ran his own design for the LSH record. Trust me, I teched the boat.

The specs for the DH Shovel:
Length 25"
Beam 11.5"
Tunnel width 6.5"
AP 13.5"

Ray Fuller will have 3 gray primered hulls on tuesday. If you want one in raw glass, contact me directly.

Brian, anything different on the new DH Shovels when compared to the old ones?

Nope. Same boat, same mold, same guy laying them up.

Sure Douggie...
I don't know what hardware it is... I think the strut is Aeromarine, but I am not sure about the rudder and assembly.
I'll take a pic
An SV motor setup right will yield a lot of fun...

She's on the way. I'll send you a list of parts and setup tips this weekend.

Jan,
That's a speedmaster standard 21 rudder that's cut down.

Jan, may I ask what hardware you are using, as I have purchased one from Brian and I have never run a shovel design hydro. I will use an SV27 motor and ESC as I already have that power setup.

Thanks,

Douggie

Douggie, I have the speedmaster 21 rudder but could not use it - if you want it I will send it to you.

Glad you like. I try to build something that I'd be happy with if I was paying for it.

I'll get you measurements in the morning. I still feel like garbage, this bug is lasting way too long. For that matter, I may be back at the doctors tomorrow.

OK, with a SV27 motor and ESC, 4S power what would the bald idiot from California and the refinened gentleman from Washington recommend for hardware and cog etc. Tony you are excluded as you are running a piece of foreign crap, :just-kidding:unless you say I love American products 1000 times

Paul, remember that different props require different strut height settings relative to the lift characteristics of the prop[s].

ok, an s220 prather s&b by hyperformance- do you know what mm this prop is?

D. Newland

12-19-2009, 10:46 PM

IIRC, the S220 is comparable to an X645. Maybe even closer to an X545.

properchopper

12-19-2009, 10:50 PM

The P-220 is 43.689 mm. Great prop, one of my favorites :smile: Fast & unloads well .

P-220 : pitch 2.6
X545 : pitch 2.478
X645 : pitch 2.832

Nice bright looking Shovel you got there Paul! Just received my DH in the mail today. Got me struts and rudder coming in the mail too. Am going to try a wire drive on this, like Jan's DH.
