HJ's First Twin Cat Build ''CF Daytona''

[HYDROJERRY]

Sorry for the delay guys but i gotta get some flex shafts and stuffing boxes before i can go further !!! just dont no who has um?? I want the .150x 3/16 and teflons for them and i gess they have to be counter rotating??

[Jeff Wohlt]

I can make the shaft/flex but you will need to get the teflon from OSE

[Fluid]

I strongly recommend going with 0.187" flex cable, not 0.150". The latter is weak enough to fail using the 9XL motors and props big enough to go fast.

the .187 is 3/16 wright, so it would end up being 3/16flex and 3/16 stub wright???

[HYDROJERRY]

anyone else carry the liner for the .187 flex and have it in stock????

So Jeff whats your price on making 2 of them for my twin??? counter rotating i gess..

they are on my site. i am making longer custom shafts for mine so they will be a bit more..drop me a pm if you want what i will use

[Jeff Wohlt]

forget the liners and just use the brass that fits

[Eodman]

May I suggest when you order your flex shafts you order 2 or 3 sets> Ask me how I know ... better yet ask Jeff how I know!

I was at the South River RC store awhile back and Jim gave me a couple of collars with set screws ... these go between the collet on the motor and your flex shaft. If your collet loosens up it keeps your shaft from falling out and losing it and the prop!

I'll see if I can post a picture over the weekend!

Sorry Jeff you never replied so i went and oderd the Aeromarine .187x 3/16s from kintec and yep no one has the liners so i decided the same thing, i wont use any!!!so im waiting for them...
Bonewar,,,whats up bro i had plenty of money at the time from selling some boat and bault a Miss Geico and have been running it every weekend so yeah ive been slacking!!!
Question,,,, do i need to place the shafts or mount the motor mounts first????
Edmon thanks for the info, do you have a link to the couplers to put on my shafts, id like to do it to all my boats seeing ive already lost one..

Loving the CF Miss Geico.
It is certainly one of a kind and first time I have seen it done.
Keep up the good work!

Also looking at the side photo it looks like you didn't pull out the inside of the S on Miss or it didn't get cut right??

[HYDROJERRY]

AWWW,, good call Jeff i just went and looked and your wright,,, see what happens when your get overly excited!!!!!!

[HYDROJERRY]

OK so i moved on to my rudder,, i first made a template of the rudder bracket then taped it the the hulls rudder extension evenly, i matched a drill bit to the size of bolts i was useing and drilled the holes out,,then i put the bolts in the rudder bracket and measured the rest of the bolt length and cut some tubing alittle short of the bolts length,,i then drilled the holes in the hull just alittle bigger so i could force the tubing in the hull and pushed them in level with the outside edge.. then i will fill the inside of the hulls rudder extension aruond the tubes and let it harden, this way when i tighten the rudder bracket bolts they wont compress against the hull, only against the tubes...some pics !! PS i learned this from my bud Tiqueman,,,thanks Scott..
