Finally a manufacturer who doesn't let CA near their plastic!
Just had a crash with my oval master and the hole was worse than it should have been....

Doug how wides the gap on that super strut bracket? I'd like to know if a solinger strut would slide in it without having to pry it open. The struts about .100 to .125 wide.
Thanks

It measures .100 Tom.

Anyone figured out what scale boats could be modled using one of these? Besides the atlas.
Am I reading correctly it comes with thew top and bottom put together?

Phil says you can buy it either way , $10 more assembled

[Darin Jordan]

Pay the $$ and buy it assembled, guys! He does a FANTASTIC job and does it on an assembly jig... WHY try to do it yourself?? NOT worth the savings... This is going to prove to be one of the finest ABS FE offerings in a LONG time! Can't wait to see more people getting them out there...

[Heath M]

Anyone know the price of these hulls yet???

Heath

[Doug Smock]

Check with Phill Heath, but I think the introductry price is $110.00 for the assembled hull and motor mount, plus postage.

Darin is right about the the way Phil assembles these boats, they are straight as an arrow.

Finally!

Phil emailed me last night telling me that MY pickle will ship Wednesday. After many months of waiting (seems like a year) I'm getting mine with the prototype cowl.

[flyboy320]

I'm on the waiting list for one of these and am trying to consider the hardware options.

I'm a newbie at this, and only bought FE RRR, just added my radio and batts, and off I went, and only Mono's at that. So from what I see from Doug's post, he used;

Fullers 1" super strut bracket, short super strut .150, aluminum skid fin, 3.5" rudder, and .150 Hughy cable

So besides the rudder base & post, is there anything else that's needed (I guess the stuffing tube and teflon liner)?

What about a Solinger Hydro System from OSE, would that work?

Anyone got any photos they could post to show the setup?

Many thanks... :)

[Heath M]

the solinger hardware is probably the best choice for this size boat,very light and easy to install
