      Hi jerry,thanks mate
      Im not sure yet got 1 idea in mind,but for now just trying to finish getting everything epoxied in and now making the the CF esc & rx tray,also just waiting on through the hull inlet aswell,so that will be the last hole to drill.also thinking about running a piece of brass tube from rear of the hull to where the the esc sits,less sillicon pipe then,will see laters

            Hey guys,done some today,made the CF trays for the esc and rx,epoxied in the motor mount,the through the hull inlet turned today so managed to get that in aswell,reinstalled the motor and servo,also added the cooling lines,im now waiting on 5.5mm bullet connectors and rx,esc is currently running in the rocket so need to order another esc for that so the 200amp can go in this build gonna order cap bank aswell.
            Anyways took some shots in the kids pool LOL and checked for any water getting in.

                    Did u offset the strut to the left for torque steer? It appears to be set that way. Can u tell me more about that?

                      Hi bud i offset it 4mm to the right as you as you look at the transom (same idea as used on mono's) this is to reduce the prop torque and hopefully stop/reduce the torque steer,i had issue with this on the previous hull on this setup,just an experiment really as is the offset rudder to see if it improves the handling.
                      Hope this helps

                        Got some done while the weather is rainy.
                        Iv cut some drawn and cut some more decals,cut then individually with a pr of sewing scissors,seems like it took forever but got there now.
                        See what you think!!!!

                          That looks great!
                          Wonder how the 3 blade will perform.

                            Thanks bud
                            Last time i used the 3blade i had cavitation issues,but i think was was because i was running inline rudder,the original HOR setup,will try again and see what happens???

                              Also set the strut height and 0*,heatsrhunk round the stuffing tube to strut,greased flexi and added the flexi saver,started working out CG with everything installed for final layout,only thing left now is waiting for new soldering iron to come and order the cap bank,though i might make my own as iv got 4 x caps matching the 1s on the ESC.
