HPR 010 Mono ULTIMATE Edition - THE LAST

[nata2run]

Hi Everyone, Its been a long time since I have posted on OSE, but I have not forgotten!!! There have been a few builds on the go but most of what you guys have already seen in the past. This here is a little different for me, as I don't get to build a lot of mono's. This one is getting very exciting but at the same time a little scary LOL. A lot had to be planned for and there is still a long way before I'm 100% But I'll start this thread anyway and see what you guys think. The setup is HPR 010 Ultimate Lay-up (The very last by Hanspeter himself) HPR Hardware, and LMT 3060 plus MGM400 Controller. This is a single drive so a little different from whats being built in the other thread (Very Impressive by the way)

Here are some pics of the building process....
The alignment is important, so drill only once :)

and some more....
The tubes are purely there for me to measure the spacer for the rudder

Spectator!
I saw some of his works and they are only of the highest quality.

Hehe, thanks :)

I did the setout in acrylic so I wouldn't waste the 4mm carbon palte... plus I had to make some adjustment, so I'm glad I did.

This is where I'm up to right now. Needing to glue in the 3-way mount, but cant until I've finished the drive exit with the stuffing tube. There is very little room around the mounts so it would be hard. its still possible to replace teflon tube and all that once the mount is in.

Absolutely love it, great job! Super clean and tidy, fantastic carbon mounts. Looking forward to seeing her run...the last HPR 010, pretty sad but good for you getting your hands on it. Really a shame about HPR.

Thanks, this is for a customer. Sadly not mine

This is looking awesome. That 4mm is beefy. To be honest, even though it's only temporary, I like the look of the four posts for the rudder. Maybe if they were just a little wider in diameter...

How are you planning on securing the servo? Personally, I'd make an threaded aluminum backing plate with all four servo mounting holes.

If you don't mind me asking, how was the exterior quality on this copy? Even though I had to do some work on mine, I still wouldn't trade it for the world.

"Ultimate," through and through :thumbup:

Looking awesome I really like the 4mm plate compliments the monster power system.

Got some more work done on the stuffing tube. 10mm brass tube surrounded by 12mm carbon tube that goes through the hull into the drive itself. once epoxied in, it should not let go. Also the 1/4" bearing support should hold it in nice and even.

I thought about a system with mounting posts, and its still in my mind, but in carbon tube. The servo I can get to with M3 screws and nuts, a plate would be ok but why the trouble of the plate? its not going to be seen anyway. As for the Hull quality, Perfect on the inside, cant flaw it one bit!!! as for the outside, one side has a few airpockets which I have to crack and fill in. Its really a hit or miss with these hulls. But as you said, they are still awesome either way and this one is going to the painters anyway.

A small update, I have made the extension for the rudder. It consists of a large plate which mounts to the hull and also hold the hydraulics on the same plate (mounts through hull also) the smaller plates that act as the spacers are all stepped 1mm offset just to get a bit of dimension. The good thing is I can swoop them to get a different look, or I can take a few out and replace with carbon tube also. When I start to mount I'll see what option I like the best. With tubes it could be a bit "wobelly" but with the plates it should be solid as the screws can not twist.

Ill do some better photos of the mount, it looks a lot better in person.

[golfito]

Fantastic.

Rudder turned out well I think. Nice and beefy!!!

[nata2run]

A bit more work done, installed the trim tabs and also tried some lipo sleds. I'll be cutting some new ones around 500mm long for extra travel.

Insane quality of work here as usual! Lack of replies probably means people are just speechless. The only thing i would do differently is the rudder extension bracket. It looks functional but I think it could've been done a bit more refined with your skill. Perhaps with tapered edges so it looks like a pyramid instead of a staircase. You could also veneer the sides like you normally do with motor mounts on cats. But I really like the big CF plate on the back which everything bolts onto. The inside of the boat looks perfect!

[nata2run]

Thanks my friend!!!! You're right about the bracket, with the extra step added it don't look bad. I may how ever make another one to see if I can get it looking straight and epoxy some veneer onto it. But honestly I don't mind the way it looks.

[LennyP]

Beautiful build. Love the trim tabs and the custom rudder bracket, Kinda reminds me of an extension box for a #6 out drive. Interior is stellar!

[785boats]

Excellent work. More like engineering than boat building.

[nata2run]

Thanks guys for the kind words. I just got the hull back from the painter. It's a nice Black Saphire Metallic. We are doing the Bacardi Silver Theme (converted to mono) My next step was to re-mount the hardware and prepare to glue in the "multi mount". But before gluing that in, I have to make sure the stuffing tube was perfectly aligned and glued in.

WAIT!!! Your port side tray is mirrored.

[nata2run]

Yep, totally on purpose. I want the point of the "R" to face eachother. If I spin it around I think it will look a bit funny?

[boredom.is.me]

Gotcha, I just wanted to make sure that you were aware.

Honestly, it kind of looks weird both ways. As lettering, it 'should' be oriented properly. As a design, it should be mirrored. This falls in the middle ground of letters being a design. Errrrr *brain explodes*. That's why I might only put words//lettering on one side of a hull (or project). That's just my opinion though, and you know what they say about opinions, "you must follow the opinions of others!"

I'm a designer by trade, not a grammar teacher LOL not the first time I put something up side down :laugh: I agree with you to some degree, this is a mirrored logo, its not a manual on how to kickstart a pacemaker if it stops....I would struggle reading that. I do thinks for looks, and that's what I care most about.
