HK Rigger

[Basstronics]

Just a quick picture build log of this little rigger offered by Hobby King.

I bought the unassembled version. All wood is 2mm 3 layer ply- not the best. I had to deal a great bit with warped pieces by soaking in hot water and letting dry between heavy flat items. I ended up using 1/32" ply around the sponsons on the compound curve. I then filled the sponsons with 2lb expanding foam.

I learned alot on this build and my next one should go a LOT better. I learned to mix that 2 part foam REAL good or it will suck back in. Also learned to really take your time when building in wood. Mistakes stick out like a sore thumb if you dont.

Hardware:
Kintec small hydro strut ($16)
HK small rudder (look for a better one)
ADS 400XL (3300kv) 567w
Octura 3/16" to 1/8" X .130 cable
Etti 3mm to .130 cable
2200mah 3S biggest packs that will fit.

Going to try an TFL X432 detongued and back cut.

Busted the solder joint at the prop shaft within 2'. Resoldered. Then i forgot to tighten the coupler. Was to late at the lake and had no wrenches. So no run today. Dang shame as the water was cold and FLAT.
