'82 Executone, '83 Speedy Blueprinting, '83 Miss Rock KISW 1/8th scale Hydro Builds

[cybercrxt]

This is a build thread for the following boats. The '82 Executone will be for me, and will be FE powered. The other two are for some friends, and will be nitro. I will be running mine with a 1527.

'82 Executone
'83 Speedy Blueprinting
'83 Miss Rock KISW



Sent them to a Laser cutter, and in less than a week, all my framing plans came back ready to start. I did have some frames come back the wrong thickness, once that is resolved, I will begin. It would have taken me a month to do this by hand for 3 hulls! Once I get templates for sheeting made, I will then get those laser cut as well. One thing at a time tho! Here is what the framing came back looking like. I am pretty impressed! All my future Gas Tunnels and other designs will be made this way in the future. They used Koskisen plywood as well, and that is a double positive! Mike

Mike,

Nice job fixing the Newton plans!

Now, if you scale it down and make a 34" 8255 kit, you will be overwhelmed with orders.

All the best,

Ray

[cybercrxt]

Ray, I could scale down these plans, mod the cross framing cutouts, and have it ready for laser cutting in a couple of days at most if there way interest in a 34" 1/10th scale. You find enough people interested, I can make it happen! Mike

[sean450]

Looks like nice work. Are you going to sell them as kits for those interested.If so I'll take two!

[cybercrxt]

Just PM'ed you Sean, Mike

[RandyatBBY]

Mike I think My mold is correct for the speedy printing. I was just working on the mold for the Blue blaster 27 inch and it is a little different like you said. Hear is my 1/8 scale cowl

DAMN! That is right on the money! I will have to give you a ring about the cowling tomorrow. That is REALLY sharp! What is the length and width on it? Mike

DAMN! That is right on the money! I will have to give you a ring about the cowling tomorrow. That is REALLY sharp! What is the length and width on it? Mike

It is 31 inches long, 4 inches wide at the top. I think it needs a little work around the bottom to make it a little squarer.

[cybercrxt]

Randy, how tall off the deck is it? The other dimensions sound just about right. Thanks, Mike

[cybercrxt]

Well, I got the corrected framing for the 8255 hulls today, and the framing for the '55 Miss Thriftway (1/10th scale framing, but I have 1/8th scale done as well on CAD). I spent 3.5 hours tonight working on the 8255 and got most all the framing complete, and 5 minutes on the Thriftway at my office just checking framing before I send it to its owner as he is going to do the sheeting templates. The framing all fit about perfect, if there is such a thing with wood! The only change I might make is to the kit I end up selling is to reduce the basswood sheeting batten from 1/4" sticks to 1/8" or 3/16". I may leave it 1/4" and use Balsa as the extra width will make gluing framing easy, and it will have enough thickness to be strong, and still extremely light weight. We will see. It was extremely easy to CA. I also measured from right front sponson tip to left rear transom tip, and vise versa..both diagonal measurements came in at 44.75", so the squareness of the framing is dead on. Anyways, enjoy the pics! Mike

[sean450]

Nice work Mike. Very nice. Lazer cutters rock!!!

[cybercrxt]

Randy, I just sent you a PM requesting a price on 3 of your cowlings.

Sean450, you might want to consider picking up 2 of Randys cowlings as they are the most realistic I have seen. Mike

[RandyatBBY]

Mike when you get a chance please include your address in the Pay Pal or PM it to me. It will make it easier on my son and me. Thanks

[cybercrxt]

I will PM it right now. Thanks Randy, Mike

[cybercrxt]

Got the floor pan and non trips cut and installed, and epoxied all the interior. I also made the top of sponson sheeting template. Not bad so far for 2 evenings worth of work. If the sheeting was already cut, I would be close to done by now! haha Enjoy, Mike

[Xfactor]

Mike thats really sharp.

[Xfactor]

That boat doesnt seem to have much tunnel though. How do they run?

[cybercrxt]

Xfact,

This boat actually is one of the faster 1/8th scale hulls available, probably due to the simplistic design, and lack of heavy wings, etc. Due to the fact it has a
12-1/16" wide tunnel, it traps plenty of air! I just refined the original plans a few minutes ago to make some of the batten sticks fit a little better. That is the good thing about CAD, I can update as I see changes that I want to make!

Oh, I got a 35", 1/10th scale set drawn up yesterday too, so its there if anyone needs it, and I am working on a 1/16th scale Miss Thriftway for Jim Clark too.

Mike

[cybercrxt]

Here are some pics of the Executone. Its starting to look like a boat! I have all the templates now done, and will draw them up tomorrow. After that, I am open to orders on that kit, so PM or post here if you are interested. Enjoy the pics. Mike

[sean450]

Hey Mike nice to see your making progress on the build. What turn fin do you have mounted on the hull?

[cybercrxt]

Thanks for the compliments, and interest. I just did some rough figuring on prices, and it looks like, if I have my math right on getting the sheeting laser cut that a kit will run $260.00 shipped for the "8255" kit in the Continental USA. That kit includes: all the framing parts, the batten sticks, and the complete ply sheeting parts. I can provide names for purchasing the cowlings, but the cowling will not be included. I would rather just give the business straight to the guys that make them. I think this is a very fair price for what you are getting, which is a quick build, wonderful fit, jones sponsons, very high quality Koskisen aircraft plywood kit. The kit will come with a simple build manual as well to help guide threw the build.

I have also drawn up some other kits and prepared them for laser cutting. The kits I have so far are as follows:

1)8255-1/8th scale kit (framing, battens, sheeting)- $260 shipped (Ready very soon)

2)8255- 1/10th scale kit (framing, battens, sheeting)- $TBD- (I have the framing plans done, just need to finish the 1/8th scale sheeting plans, and resize)

3)'55 Miss Thriftway- 1/8th scale kit (framing, battens)- $TBD- (I have another person preparing the sheeting plans, so framing is all that is available right now)

5) '55 Miss Thriftway- 1/10th scale kit (framing, battens)- $TBD- (I have another person preparing the sheeting plans, so framing is all that is available right now)

6)8700- '88 Miller High Life/ Miss Circus Circus (and many others via modifications)- 1/8th scale kit w/ offset Jones Sponsons- (Framing, battens kit only, sheeting to complex to offer kit) $TBD (Framing plans are done, and ready to get cut)


Soon to be done kits:

1) 0203- Vacationville.com, Master Tire, Jeep Chrysler U-3
2) 8701- 87-91 Miss Budweiser U-1, U-12, etc. (Just ordered plans today. Cannot wait to start on this one!)


Also, if anyone has plans that want to sell cheap, or offer up to get drawn up for laser cutting, I can do so. Offer the plans up for free, and I will do all the work, and get you a framing kit at cost (no sheeting), and get your plans back when I have the work done.


http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e324/spoonefcrx/Executone%20Builds/framingpics.jpg

[cybercrxt]

OK, I am placing an order for some kits today, if anyone is interested in 1/16th, 1/10th or 1/8th scale Thriftway framing, 1/8th scale Circus Framing, or 1/10th and 1/8th scale full framing and sheeting 8255 "Executone" kits, let me know!

I got the sponson tops sanded last night, and started on the 2nd 8255, and will start on the 3rd 8255 tonight. I am awaiting the hardware and Neu 1527 motor mount right now for my build. Once that arrives, I will begin fitting the hull before doing the final sheeting. Enjoy. Mike

pm's returned, Mike

[Xfactor]

Mike we gotta get together .Thats a radical bend on that turnfin too; dagg.

[cybercrxt]

That is a Virginia craftsman turn fin. What ya need X?

[cybercrxt]

Well, I got a lot done this weekend. I finished doing the frameup on both of the other 8255 hulls, so now all 3 are rolling along! I also bought my first drill press so I could make a rudder mount as the Speedmaster mount is 1-1/4" tall, and I needed 1-1/16" tall, so I made one from scratch. This is my first attempt at working with aluminum, so its definately not as nice as a lot of guys would have made it, but I am pretty happy with it. Enjoy the update pics! Mike

[Xfactor]

I need one of those pretty scale boat plans what else lol?Hey that strut has a squre bottom. Is that legal in 1/8th scale now?

[Xfactor]

A U-25 pay -n- pak is what im wanting i already have finlay pdf you need me to send them to you?

[Xfactor]

If you did a hull construction for someone what would you charge total? kit and constuction not to paint but just the turnfin and hull no hardware.heck your construction looks good to me and I might get lazy lol.

[cybercrxt]

Did Finlay do plans for the Pay Pak U-25? That is a HOT boat. I was going to get the Newton plans at some point for it. The only problem with that hull, there is hardly any room for batteries inside. A good friend of mine has the U-25 Pak and room looks very limited because of the way the cowling doesnt not extend forward of the front of the center former. What
Finlay plans do you have, those Oberto plans? If so, they are nothing more than the 82U55 hull that this build thread is based on! Let me know, Mike

[Xfactor]

Yes sir ill sent it to you sir.

[Xfactor]

I can cram 6s in a 13th scale u25 youll make it

[Xfactor]

only oberto plans ive seen are dave thomas I have those too if you want

[cybercrxt]

I just found the plans on Finlays site. I had NO idea he did the U-25 hull..His pic shows the rear driver hull, but when you read closer, its suppose to be the U-25! Awesome. I will download the plans from his site. My be a couple weeks, but I will get them drawn up. I may just build myself one for display! Mike

[Xfactor]

U25 turbine now not v-12 the other style shares the same hull as an 82 atlas

[Xfactor]

now dont forget me pm some prices ok?

[Xfactor]

Finaly did a good job. The build instructions are very straight foward surprized u dont see more esp after footage like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQHOasEiWEw Raydee had that thing dialed brotha @2s

[cybercrxt]

Xfact, yeah, the Turbine U-25 is the one I would want too. So that video they were running 2 cell? What size was it done in that video? I will PM you. You want the 1/8th scale U-25 tho right? Let me know, and I will PM you then. Mike

[cybercrxt]

Hey, where in NC are you located? Mike

[Xfactor]

That was 7cell nimh I think and im sure its probaby a 16th scale. Its raydee's boat hes a member on ose find him and he can tell you more. Im in the reasearch triangle area raleigh/durham .And yes the 1/8th scale.

[cybercrxt]

I will PM you about the 1/8th scale. Mike

PS, I am in the Greenville, NC area...88 miles from you! Just a spit away! Mike

[Xfactor]

yeah my granny lives in new bern my dad was born in cove city.

[Xfactor]

The finlay is a redrawn newton in balsa fo light fe. Will your laser cutting connection leave it in its native material ? (1/4" balsa bulkheads,and 16th. ply bottom and deck)You may need to check closely to see if you need to do some slight mods to the drawings so they make sense for the type of material youre using in your kits. I just want to say to the other memebers that if youre looking for a scale and someone offers Laser cut plans with the wood stock for under 100 dollars jump on it; thats highway robbery for an 1/8th scale boat. Man yall better get em while this mans good heart still exist.I think mikes a little drunk from the epoxy fumes right now. LOL


Great stuff Mike.:cool2:

[The Hammer]

The Atlas in the vid is mine. She is 24" long, build from basswood and balsa - canopy is foam and balsa - all covered in light cloth and resin. Power is from an 8S spinning a back cut & de-tongued x535 running on 7 IB 4200 NiMh cells through a CC125 controller. An Octure rudder and home made strut, turn fin and hardware complete the package. She handled like a dream, but was a little light in the front at those speeds. She handled many blow off's, but she didn't survive the extraction efforts after being stuffed into a bouy. She sits on the shelf to this day.

[cybercrxt]

Um, OK. Did I miss something?

[The Hammer]

Boy... I don't like all those curved surfaces on that thing... How big is this boat?

[cybercrxt]

TotalPackage- I can do something like that, but its going to be a couple months before I could really get on it as I have a ton of boats to build,and frame kit plans to draw up. This was stuff that people already requested so its first in line. Let me know if you are not in a hurry and I can do it for you later. Thanks.


Alright, I FINALLY got some pics offloaded. The stuffing tube is finally in, motor mounted, and now the top decks are going on. This one should be done pretty soon. I will hopefully start paintwork very soon. I really want to get all the plans for all the other hulls I have drawn in as well, so that may take precedent over this build. I have about 20 plan sets now that will make over 70-80 boats when you see what sponsors each frame makes! Pretty exciting. I will be posting a full master hull list of all the plan sets I have in the manufacturer for sale area soon. Enjoy the build I hope to have it ready to put on the water soon. Mike

Mike! shouldnt that motor be ofset to the right? instead of left? Are you racing this boat left turn oval?

[j.m.]

Most RC boat racing is right turn oval.

[TotalPackage]

Most RC boat racing is right turn oval.Doesnt that mean the right sponson is the one you want planted while the left sponson slides?

[sailr]

Full scale races to the left and some orgs race the 1/8th scale to the left also.

[tharmer]

Not scale racing. The full size boats turn left.

[sailr]

That's what I said, FULL SCALE = FULL SIZE. I know there is an r/c scale organization out in Washington State I think that races to the left also.

[tharmer]

ERC-U for the 1/10th guys. (erc-u.com)
ESU for the 1/7th guys. (scalehydro.com)

Our posts apparently overlapped.

All the race boats ive seen have the driveline ,if offset, set to the right of the keel i was just curious mike?

Looks really nice, but then you do REALLY nice work always... Will be interested to see how it handles... especially with the break that far forward in the tunnel...

The break in the tunnel is where Roger put it in the plans. It has been run like that on many builds, and on the full size hull!

I will be updating this thread soon. I have hte hull in primer now, and I am awaiting some magnets to arrive for the hatch. More soon! Mike

[TotalPackage]

looks great Mike

[racer504]

Have you determined a price for the 1/10 scale 8255 hull kit yet?

[sailr]

The main reason for shaft offset is to counteract torque roll. If turning right, the offset should be to the right. If turning left, it is offset to the left. This is because the rotation of the prop is the reverse depending on which way you are turning.

[cybercrxt]

Well, its been a while since I updated the build thread, but I have beendoing work on the boats. I got magnets installed in my deck and cowling, primed, and the white basecoat with SG100 HOK layed over so I can begin the artwork. If I was making the Miss Houston, I would be close to done! lol. The other two hulls are coming along too. Enjoy, Mike

Jim, Mike McKnight at ProMedia is. He does really nice work, and I think he can get as specific as decals applied at each race in a season! Mike

yup I know mike he did the graphics for my 1/16th Bardahl.

Still wondering?


Have you determined a price for the 1/10 scale 8255 hull kit yet?

[cybercrxt]

RACER, Very sorry for the delay! The price for just the framing will be $135 shipped, and the price for framing, and sheeting is $225 shipped, as long as you are in the continental USA. Mike, madaccord@hotmail.com

Got the Medium Blue painted last night, and added more SG100 intercoat clear, so its ready for another 600 grit sanding, and the light blue next, then the dark blue. Enjoy, Mike

Cleared out....

Ok, so I worked late last night on the build. Got the paintwork done. All I have to do now, is decide if I want to paint the cockpit black, or use black vinyl. Not sure how I feel about black vinyl and its long term ability to stay glued on well. Anyways, I will be scuffing the hull again tonight, adding the decals, and doing the clearcoat. Then in a few days, I will sand the clear flat, knocking down the lines created by the vinyl graphics, then reclearing again. Enjoy, Mike

That looks awesome man!!!!

[cybercrxt]

I have been working on 1/8th scale hydroplane framing plans over the last month or so, correcting all the errors in the plans, correcting the cross member to keelson and engine well fitment problems that I am finding exist in every set of Newton plans I have worked on. Its amazing just how off a lot of the plans are! This enables me to get the new CAD framing drawings laser cut and I am able to offer these kits to you. You will be getting all the framing parts that are shown in the Newton plans. I have a good amount of plans already done and ready for cutting, and many many more plans that I can offer very soon. If you have any interest in a kit, just send me a PM or email to madaccord@hotmail.com and I will give you a quote. Below is a list of the framing kits I have already done. Now, these “base” framing kits can make a variety of boats, so if you see a master hull roster # in the list below, check and see if it might work for your desired hull. I am going to list the exact sponsored hull my plans originated by, so you can use that as a starting point. I will also be offering sheeting kits for a few select hulls that I build for myself, so ask about that if its something you need. Thanks, Mike Luszcz, ML Boatworks (252) 717-6282

Thanks guys. OK, got home, got the cockpit area painted black, applied decals, and added the clear. I am pretty happy right now! Now I have to decide if I want to sand and reclear to knock down any decals lines...Hard Decision, but for now.....Everyone, meet your 1982 Executone Telephones, the 1/8th scale version!

Simply beautiful Mike

[racer504]

RACER, Very sorry for the delay! The price for just the framing will be $135 shipped, and the price for framing, and sheeting is $225 shipped, as long as you are in the continental USA. Mike, madaccord@hotmail.com

Mike, Do your kits include drawings sufficient to build the cowl or are the parts to build it included in the kop. Thanks, Mike

[cybercrxt]

No, you will need to probably contact some of the guys out in Washington state, RC Unlimited and see if they have any molds. I am sure they do. Mike

[sailr]

Checked. They are all 1/8th scale. Sent an email to the guys at ercu. They're the 10th scalers.

[JimClark]

Also Classic Thunder

[sailr]

Jeff Campbell at ercu makes a 1/10th cowl for the 1985 U-100 Coors Light. It's the same cowl I believe as the executone and several others. It is an epoxyglass cowl with carbon fiber reinforcement. Price is $45.

Anyone else interested his email is jcamp50291@aol.com

He is insistant that nobody make a mold from his cowls!

[cybercrxt]

Jim, That is awesome that you found the mold. Mention me as a framing supplier for the 8255, and hopefully others down the road! Mike

[JimClark]

Make one out of balsa and get one of several guy's on the board to vacuum form it for you.
Jim

[cybercrxt]

Jim, have you started on the Thriftway 1/16th scale I sent you yet? Mike

[JimClark]

Sorry to say no it kind of got put on the back burner when I re rigged the first scratch built boat for racing. Now I am involved in building an entertainment center for my house. When I get my 30in Miss K kit from Doug Campbell (in a couple of weeks) my intent is to build both kits at the same time so I will have the 1/16th thriftway and a 1/12th Karelsen hull build going also Probably will be Version 5.0 of the 67 Bardahl

[sailr]

Mike,

You should email him yourself and tell him what all you are doing!


Jim, That is awesome that you found the mold. Mention me as a framing supplier for the 8255, and hopefully others down the road! Mike

[cybercrxt]

I will do that Sailr. My main reason for not reaching out to the guys at ERCU yet is I do not have but a couple 1/10th scale hulls yet. The '55 Thriftway and the '82 Executone are all I have worked on so far! I have around 24- 1/8 scale plans, most being done. The problem with downsizing, is all your cross member cuts have to be adjusted to work with the next size, and new size of materials being used, so its time consuming to do that adjustment. My main goal right now is to just keep plugging away at 1/8 scale kits, and do the other size hulls as people request them. I also need to find some time to do some racing this year. I have not even been to a pond in almost 2 months! Gotta do that soon!

[cybercrxt]

Jim Clark, I just finished the 1/8th scale 6740 Bardahl plans as well. That is a cool boat! Here are some pics of recent frames I got back from the laser cutter:

[cybercrxt]

And later this week, I hope to get in the '90 Oberto/ '82 Atlas Van Lines, and one for myself, the '80 Budweiser Humpback (which is going to be an AWESOME kit!)

[JimClark]

Very cool you are doing a great job on these kits. One note on the ERCU guy's most are pretty locked into buying the carbon hulls Jeff Campbell make's and sells. Too bad as building is half the fun IMHO. just may have to get a set of the 67 Bardahl frames in 1/10th we will see.

Jim

[cybercrxt]

I ran my Ice 200 on my 1/8th scale Executone Hydroplane this weekend. Motor is the 1527 1Y 1250kv, 6s2p, x646 prop to start with. Mid 50's for speed. Motor, and batteries came back cool, and I pulled the datalog info from the Ice controller, showed a max temp for only a few seconds of 127 degrees F, and most of the time about 124 degrees F. Pulled a max of 208 amps for a couple seconds, but for the most part 125 to 175amps. I did a BUNCH of off plane, on plane runs with the boat since my local pond is so small, and I only did 1/2 to 3/4 throttle so I know that builds heat quicker as well. I think this controller could be the real deal. More testing and full race course runs will really tell. Mike

[RandyatBBY]

I find it real fun seeing a big boat running on the water. It really gets me going. It is also nice to be able to push a boat that big on 6S.:banana:
If your boat was heavy that set up would not work like in the Pro Boat it ended up 19 pounds and a bit of a strain on the Batteries.

Damn that boat looks good! Wish I could afford one of those hulls right now. The paint looks great!

[Ronbo]

Kits for 1/10th I would think would be extremely popular. Vintage as well as modern hulls. Im partial to Frosted Flakes, KISW, Tide and the U-3. Would love to have those hulls.

[cybercrxt]

Randy, The boat came in around 14.5lbs, so its pretty light on its feet! Oh, I got those two cowlings from you, and I thank you! Mike


Ronbo, I have the 8255 kit in 1/10th scale. SailrJim just ordered one actually. It makes the KISW. Mike

[Ronbo]

Oops, I meant Turbine KISW. Not sure why, but Im liking the boats from the 90's as much as todays.

more 1/10th ! More 1/10th! :o]

[cybercrxt]

Lol, I just got an email from Mitch Dillard , the commisioner of Classic Thunder. He wants me to get some info and kits ready for 1/10th scale. I think I have talked to about all the directors of all the major clubs in the state of Washington! The only one I have not talked to is ERCU. Mike

[sailr]

Mike,
While you're at it, find out the best hardware for 1/10th scale! Also who makes LEGAL turn fins for them, both vintage and modern, etc.

[Ronbo]

The rule books are on the websites, ERCU and CT. Glad Mitch is in contact. ERCU, as far as Im told, is mostly carbon fiber hulls laid by several people in the club.

1/10th has the potential of being extremely popular, its the lack of kits thats slowing it down, IMOHO... Fine for those that can scratch build, but not for the rest of us...

[JimClark]

What is namba legal for the turn fin is not necessaraly CT or ERCU legal

[Ronbo]

I didnt mention NAMBA, only CT and ERCU.

[JimClark]

problem is the vast majority of people on this board are not ERCU or CT guy's only a few on this board

[Ronbo]

Thats why i mentioned CT and ERCU rulebooks on website.

On topic, I look forward to more kits available!

[Ronbo]

Mike,
I noticed that HR# 8806 is in finished framing sets. When you convert it to 1/10th let me know. Seriously. I can make it into a Frosted Flakes.

[jimbo--jones]

Also, if anyone has plans that want to sell cheap, or offer up to get drawn up for laser cutting, I can do so. Offer the plans up for free, and I will do all the work, and get you a framing kit at cost (no sheeting), and get your plans back when I have the work done.




Yo I got some original and scanned 1/8 scale t4 twin wing 94 miss bud plans. ill send those for free if you make me laser cutting plans for it.

[cybercrxt]

Ronbo, I will keep the 8806 in mind for 1/10th scale. I just have to get other stuff done first!

Jimbo-Jones, I have the 94 Bud plans and hope to get them drawn up soon. Just be on the lookout! Mike

[jimbo--jones]

Mad! Ill order the vector files off you!

[hazegry]

saw the finished boat this weekend you guys have to see it it was such a nice clean boat.

[cybercrxt]

Thanks Jason. It was cool to see some of the people that I have talked to on the phone, and on OSE! Mike

[waterotter]

Cybercrtxt I have just gotten back into the rc hydro game and I'm interested in buying one of your kits, not sure which yet. It looks like 1/8th and 1/10th scales are the most popular. Question: I partially built an old Dumas #1314 Atlas Van Lines kit 36" long and sold it on ebay about 2 yrs ago. It works out to be 1/9th scale, what catagory of scale does this fit into?
My suggestion for a kit would be the U-50 Spirit of the Navy 2008 (Rodger Newton ID 171-H), U-31 Miss Circus Circus 1979 (126-A).

[cybercrxt]

Hey, The 1/8th scale hulls are about 43", 1/10th scales are about 35". I have the Spirit of Navy plans on the way, but do not have the 79 Circus plans yet. I will now reply to your PM. Sorry I did not see your post sooner! Mike

[waterotter]

Thanks Mike, Looking forward to building again.
