    I never even have heard of an "el lobo 2" This one is purely out of my imagination I drew it from scratch without any insperation form any other designs so that must be a lucky design similarity. I know of one guy who had this same set of plans laser cut and he is building with a therad here on ose ("my peells micro") it is a 28" boat I do not know where he got micro from but oh well.

      Updates

      Here are some Pictures of What has been going on!!

      Well I pre mounted all my hardware except my turn fins, Shoving that teflon tube into the brass stuffing tube was quite the experance I had to wind up freezing it all night and then sliding into place (easier said than done being it is like 9" long) no bends, I added blind nuts to hold the hardware in place and I made an antenna tube holder out of brass tubing and it has a nice tight fit (I hope I do not break the deck skin while changing the tube out!!!

















      How do you like my make shift prop balancer? I use a prop shaft two pieces of rubber tubing and my cooling plates which I do not need at this time but they work great nice smooth roll. Wait until you see my messy table!!!!

              Servo mount

              Today I made a servo mount out of some aluminum stock I had lying around, the thing I hate about making parts and taking pictures is I like to make em then mount em and taking pictures is sometimes lacking on the step by step process so sorry about that folks.








              and I was re arangeing my photo bucket and lost a couple pics sorry.

                Well here it sits all dust encrusted waiting on me to get it dusted,
                next we see it, it is 21 pages deep, waiting patiently all asleep,
                well now it's on the table awaiting a base plate and a rudder extention
                not to mention paint and final assembley,
                it makes me shakey to paint it orange but that's what I like cause it looks fast on the bench
                and kills nitros on the lake!
                But thats what electrics are all about kicking Nitro's buts NO doubt!!

                Now that I left you with these lines of wit I need to get busy and not just sit!!

                Will be posting some new progress real soon as I make a custom base plate and rudder holder assyembley this week there I said it now I have to do it, Just like a nike
