Looks good Jerry. Ive never used hatch latches or screws on my FE boats. Just on my nitro & gas stuff.

Looks like we chose the same route for hatch securing :)

Boat looks great!! Did you change your mind on the feigao 9xl and go to leopards if so what motor did you go with?
Also I did not notice an antenna maybe I missed it but if not will you get reception through the cf hull?
good luck this weekend can't wait to see the results.Comment

Scott,, the clear is Rustolium Lacquer,,
Yep Peacock ive had these bolts and suck sense i started the thread cuz i didnt want to use tape anymore,, i think we both will be good on the hatch like this..
Jabbo, im still using the 9xl's and the Tactic 2.4 radio system, i hope it reads properly threw the cf..
Raiming so far today but maybe tomorrow,,,Comment

No tape huh? Fill your tub, bolt down your hatch, flip the boat and push it completely under . 20 buck says you get water in it. Pressure insaide a hull when it dunks is insane. More than enough to bow out the hatch and gap it to let water in. Seal or not, id bet it gets wet inside. Id tape it tooComment

Sounds like a good way to test something.Land, Sea & Air, A true RC Addict.Comment

Yeah just a tip, outside of jerry build. If you ever have a leak you can't find, tape up like your taking it out to run, push it underwater in the bath tub. I small line of bubbles wil appear wherever you have a leak. I just learned this a few months ago, I had leaks I didn't even know about in some boats. I dunked my entire fleet.Comment

Well that bits,,,, well im just going to try not to flip it right now!!! im charging the batteries now so i hope it dont rain tomorrow,,Comment

Tape it anyway Jerry. Trust me! I have great experience in trying not to flip and just like that, zing...its upside down! See the vid!
Thank goodness for hatch tape!
Very nice build by the way! I've been wtching your process since day one. Dont give up! It's well worth the wait!Comment

Nice vids,, i tryied to run mine this morrning but just like your vid i couldnt even get it going it would just launch and flip, so i gave up i got a super short vid,, hopefully ill get it up sometime today,, took a few water pics sense it was there,,PS it had about a shot glass of water in it,Comment

Looks good Jerry. How much does it weigh? One pic the transom was about underwater. Maybe your packs were further back then and that had something to do with flipping?Land, Sea & Air, A true RC Addict.Comment

Heres the super short vid but this is what it did everytime i tryed to get it going!!! I was giving it just a tinny bit of throttle, it would just kick on its own like i was hitting it,,, http://vimeo.com/29575106Comment

Sounds like you need a throttle calibration. My ettis do that if I don't tap full throttle real quick before I launch the boat. I did that with my hpr.. it wasn't funComment

OK so when i plug in the esc's i should do a fast full throttle then they will be set???Comment
