That's Insane! I can't wait to see It run...:D

[Diegoboy]

Me too. Did you notice that crazy U-joint on the old motor?

[Quicksilver]

Was thinking, I wonder if you should beef up the original strut since this motor will be oh.......like 100x more powerful. I also would be surprised if you have change the angle on the foils, maybe not but I could see some stability problems at like 30mph.

I want to see her fly, but perhaps a controlled flight. :)

Looking good sir!

Looking good sir!

cool cant wait to see it run! how much longer till completion?

[Diegoboy]

not sure... I need serious help rebuilding the upper deck. It's a lot harder than I thought. Plus the rear wing still needs repair. I hope it'll function soon.

Okay. Thank you!
I'll send you the upper deck and all the stuff I bought to duplicate a new one. I took apart the upper deck to make templates for the new material, but I just can't seem to do it right.

Thank you for offering to help. I appreciate it...

[Diegoboy]

I'm running across issues with rebuilding the rear wing. I just have to get past my fear of messing it up.
Anyway, I just got a set of these for the boat.

Strobe lights
Mine are Solid red & green (nav lights)
and 6 blue strobes
and the bright white (search light)
:D
Here's the kit on a heli...
