Kent's D. 12 P-Mono

[HOTWATER]

Well, here are some pics of my 31" Rico P-Mono. I was originally inspired to build and race a mono by Chilli Mike (Nautiboyz) and have received some help from Doug Smock who, by the way, happens to hold the 1/3 fast lap record in IMPBA with his Rico!!

I am not really doing an all out build thread....they have been done before and recently Chuck (E. Cheese) has done a build thread on his...outstanding job Chuck!!

My build includes a CC 240 LV, a Neu 1515 1Y motor, 2 - 4s 35C 5000 Hyperion lipos in parallel, Hyperion LiFE 850 mah receiver batt., Hyperion Atlas HV Servo, Speedmaster 3/16" Stinger, Speedmaster Mini hydro rudder (w/ bracket extension...still needs to be cut back a bit) and custom made trim tabs (adjustment plates are Fullers...Thank you Mike!)...CF turn fins are on the way.

Ok, here you go folks...nothing fancy....

Thanks for looking!

Oh yeah...here is a pic showing the difference between the Fullers stock tab and my custom made S.S. tab.....Huge!

The Rico likes those BIG tabs!

[HOTWATER]

Thanks Ryan! That S.S. did not like my high speed metal drill bits though!...lol! Had to buy some Cobalt bits....no prob. with them!...an easy piece of cake! He, he!

Looking good Kent! I'm excited for ya.

Those tabs are so long they may flex on you. Don't know how that will affect handling.

Great looking boat Kent. When I run over it, I'll think I hit a turtle.

[HOTWATER]

LOL! They won't flex bro! Stiff stainless...good stuff! I guess turtles do get hit by submarines sometimes!

Thanks Doug!

LOL! They won't flex bro! I guess turles do get hit by submarines sometimes!

[HOTWATER]

Looking good Kent ... can't wait to see our boats run!

[HOTWATER]

Thanks Chuck! I wish I had this last year when just the FE monos got to run together in their own class at Chesapeake. Maybe it will happen again sometime this season...

[Doug Smock]

It could happen at the Shootout ehh??
Dick and you guys make four. If Paul and I can make it again, maybe bring one or two more.
Whoo hoo!! You guys owe us a spankin. Oh, but you probably want to do that in Atlanta.
Doug

[HOTWATER]

Yes sir....it would be excellent to make it down to Hotlanta! Maybe a few of us will come down...

[Chilli]

How about the July 16/17th race Kent??? I promised Doug so I've gotta do it. (Correction: I want to do it!!!)

Couldnt be any hotter than Virginia/MD/DE that time of year.

Industrial fan on the shopping list for this year. The Wally world fan didnt cut it at DELMARVA. LOL
