    It will be "ozzies rc island" open to all rc enthusiasts unless by some strange cosmic phenomenon brought on by a total cosmic f*** up when Jupiter lines up with Uranus causing a magnetic gravitational pull of microscopic organisms on earth making Scottish men with very small willies relocate to Canada. then they would not be welcome.
    but i cant see that ever happening.
    O and no poms
    Hmm or kiwis (except simon)
    Just watch out for Douggie when Jupiter lines up with Uranus

              lol yea did not even look at the size on rcbitz. not bad prices. have not dealt with him in awhile but was really good a few years back.
              the genesis hull 940mm long,235mm wide.
              cheetah hull 866mm long, 340mm wide.
              not sure but the cheetah bottom is same/similar as sprintcat,just different top.

                There's lotsa clones with mixed namebrand top+bottoms...

                RCBits is about 20 min from home... made my little rescue boat with bitz from there..
                It's like having China eBay dealers around the corner ( add postage )

                Will let you know what the 56" CF goes like .. Im assembling one soon for a cashedup fella.

                  20 minutes away that would be great>
                  looked at the genesis hull,guys are getting good speed from them and tempted to try one.
                  the cheetah hull is suppose to be stable mid to up 50s (think in race water)
                  plan would be 2 1900kv 6 pole tenshock motors,2 turnigy 180s on 4s.
                  shoot for mid 40s so its reliable and motors/esc,s are not being pushed

                            Some pictures for the disinterested and could not give a stuff types that infest this thread and generally would rather watch grass grow...







                            A question to someone that could give a damn... Do you think that stinger (picture below) needs a bit slicing off it?



                            Setup... 1515 1Y, andym M645, 3s lipo and a Hydra 240 lv for a speed of 74.2 kph. A mild setup to test for things like water leaks, gout and arthritis.

                              A wish some of the people at the Indian call centers did have a Scottish accent Douggie. Some Indians are so hard to understand.

                                Hey Paddy
                                For speed runs i would think further back would give more nose to tail stability, may chine walk a little more.
                                for turning i would extend front of rudder edge even with front of prop.
                                Thats is if i remember correctly,been awhile
                                I need to get of my ass send you the 33' hull.
                                Added a bit of CF (see pic)

                                P.S 34' cat is ordered
