JC :

nope, sorry, sold mine to build something bigger

[malibu1]

I just tried to order the HPR115 Carbon motor mounts from ae-carbontec. But I could not figure out how to order it online with everything in German. Just sent them an email. Does anyone have any experience with ordering from them? I would assume that I can't just use my Visa credit card to order.

Got an email from Hanspeter and he is going to have the hull finished in two weeks! I now have to descide on motors and get them on order.

Here is what I am thinking of running on 6S to start with.

NEU 1521's 1Y 1577KV or
NEU 1527's 1.5D 1500KV

I will be purchasing a speed control that will allow me to run maybe 8S at a later date.

Am I in the ball park here for motors? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Hey Malibu - not being a smart azz but you do know you need 2 ESC's ????

It's just from the way your last entry is worded I wasn't sure.

[malibu1]

Yes, I didn't word that sentence to well. I will be ordering speed controls that will allow me to run more than 6S if I get bit by the speed bug. Was looking at the Hydra HV's.

I would consider the 1527/1y also... they will run great on 6s,, later 8s they would fly!!! I have ran both the 1.5d and 1y.. The d will pull more amps and wont be good on 8s except for short straightline passes... Just food for thought!

Hi Malibu

Just a suggestion:

It would be great to have build thread once you get the hull

A Hanspeter hull is the Holy Grail of RC boating.

I'm planning to buy one next year after I finished my current 3 projects.

Good luck.

Cheers

Hi Malibu,
I'm building a twin Mhz Mystic (44.8 inch). You can see my project here

http://www.rc-boats.gr/index.php?topic=582.0

After two months research i decide to go with Neu motors.
My setup will be: Neu motors 1521 1Y, esc YGE 155 navy, 6s or 7s hyperion lipos (35C),octura 447 sharpened and balanced props. First decide what volt you want and then choose you motor. You need motors with enough torque in order to see HPR flying....

[malibu1]

Xkos, thats a nice Mystic build you have going there! I wonder how much alike the new Mystic is compared to the HPR. I wanted to order some parts from MHZ but there site is down.

Back on the AE carbon parts for the HPR, I think I will try to make my own motor mounts to start with. At least try it. I got a response from AE but by the time I pay wiring fee's (35 bucks) and shipping (20 bucks) I am at the point where I can purchase a scroll saw and the carbon and give it a whirl. Hanspeter said he could send me a drawing of the motor mount that is for a Lehner motor so I will try to modify that.

On one of the other builds sites for the HPR, it was mentioned that Hanspeter does not suggest mounting the batteries directly to the sponsons without a battery resting plate (of sorts). Does anyone know why it is not suggested to just velcro the batteries in the sponsons?

Jerome, I think this may end up like a build thread because I am sure I am going to ask tons of Newbie questions along the way.

[Gerwin Brommer]

Velcro direct on sponsons : not solid enough. One major flip and the packs, incl. velcro will be ripped out !!

[malibu1]

I was thinking about building some type of "stand-offs" in the sponsons at the end of the batteries with a CF bar going across the top of the batteries to hold them. Along with Velro on the bottom of the batteries to the sponsons.
I just didn't know if there was a structural hull inegrity type reason that the batteries should not be mounted directly to the sponsons. I want the weight of the batteries as low as possible.
Yep, need seat belts on those batteries to hold them in during a crash.

Here is a setups page of the HPR06 hulls to help or confuse you

Welcome to the forum Mark........ , I am just gonna watch this build.........

[malibu1]

Thanks for the link to the Set Ups page. It looks like most of the guys are using a carbon plate to mount the battery on. Some of the plates have oblonged holes for velcro straps on the sides.

Question: Some of the battery plates have a large hole in the middle of the plate with a hogged out run going from the hole to the front of the battery plate. Kind of like a raceway. Are people glueing "bungs" to the bottom of the batteries and then inserting the bungs into the holes and sliding the batteries up the raceway. Kind of like a quick release battery holder? I hope you understand what I am trying to describe.. Thanks!
