This is my winter project. Going to need much help from from you guys.
DF29 hull O.S.E
Speedmaster hardware O.S.E
Motor mount Peter Zicha
Will be using a Feigao 540 XL9 and a OSE water jacket. Would like to go with Swordfish 200 ESC because I can mount it on the motor mount that Peter is building. Keep things tight and neat. My other option is the Hobby Wing 180. Question is which will be a better ESC for the boat? This is a sport boat, all out fun
Like to know if I should layer the bottom inside hull with a layer of glass cloth? If so, the stuff that can that I can buy at the LHS? How many layers and what oz. cloth? And I will be putting in rails. Thinking of 1/8" aircraft plywood? Or thicker?
COG? is that 30% starting distance from transom, so approx 10"?
What is the distance from the transom to front of motor? I need t know at what distance will be mounting the motor in.
I plan on putting a plywood piece between rails right after the motor mount that will run probably to the length of the opening in the hull for my batteries. Hoping this is the best placement for COG. On ply bottom I will put velcro.
What lipos will I need?
Bottom of Stinger unit should be 3/32" from bottom of keel. Then do I drill a 1/4" hole that will line up with hole in the Stinger unit? Then do I place the 1/4" brass tube(stuffing tube) into the unit till it stops inside? Then the flex shaft will run all the way threw and out the end of Stinger. This will give me the flexibility to adjust the unit up and down. This is how I understand it. if I am wrong point it out to me.
Comments/suggestions?
