does christian have a job? or does he just get paid for this?

[ManuelW]

Christian has a regular job, building rc boats like this is just one of his hobbies and he does it just for himself.

Manuel,

Does Christian have the Lambo? That one picture that circulated a while ago of a guy transporting an HPR in a Murcielago.

Hello Guys,

@ Tyler and Drax: Sadly not even close to the truth. He only could afford to buy that MHZ 185 Mystic boat after selling his HPR06 "2Face" and his beloved full carbon Cervelo road bike (which he built up over a few years to its final configuration!). So far away of being rich and able to afford a Lambo....

As a car he runs an Opel Astra Estate Diesel, practical and economical.

What might interest you, he once built a 1:4 scale model of a Ferrari F1 car almost completely from scratch except parts like the tires, the motor or the differential. Took him I think 2 years overall.

For the picture of the Lambo: That was a HPR 233 and the car was a Lamborghini Gallardo Sypder - picture was taken in France. Its a group of guys who owns almost every E-powered HPR 233 woldwide. My latest info was, that they have at least running 5 (!) of these at the moment.

Best regards,
Manuel

Oh, so its kinda like what I do. If I need money for another project I sell things on. The 2Face was a superb build and I bet the bike was nice too. Hope he got a good price on the 2Face.
Didn't expect that car as its similar to what I drive, great for transporting boats in though. Just goes to show if you have a hobby that you love, all your moneys goes into it.

5 HPR 233s!!! and a Gallardo Spyder in france .....ummm Thierry Henry and friends

Unbelievable detail and patience to do it all - Thank you Manual and thank Christain for posting this - I would be very curious to see the machine shop where all of this is custom built .

if he has a job, where does he find the time for this?
i'm assuming he doesn't have a wife because valentine's is tomorrow and nothing has slowed down.

detail and detailed.....always happy to see both of you guys to work......something interesting to take the temperatures away from the carbon sheet,is something that we say 'mirror' in our construction job here (coffee roasters)....if you find a very thin super mirror inox metal sheet,and you keep 2mm air gap from carbon,and also 2mm from turbine,this will keep the temps in a very low number....you can (if the space is good) to keep the other piece of insulation,on the cf sheet,that i see.........(just my opinion ,manuel and cristian) but if i can help you just 0,00001mm long,i will be happy......thanks for the super post here....stelios

[ManuelW]

@ boaterguy: Wrong again, he's happily married and also has two children. Where he takes the time? Mhh I've asked the question already myself several times couldn't find an answer. I mean beside rc boats he still has other hobbies...

@ stelios: jep, thanks for the info about the thermal shield, already thought about that. The 2nd stage is already covered by a polished SS sheet. The test will show how everything works, I think even the little heat insulation on the ground plate is not necessary. Hopefully in a future not too far away Christian will start the turbines the first time.

@ Punisher: Is this a swashdrive with a 40.160 and a big NEU 22 in your avatar picture?

Best regards,
Manuel

No Manuel its the HobbyKing jet drive - I have modified the pump somewhat or better put corrected the flaws and then machined an adaptor bracket to fit a 3080/7 and a schulze 40/160 . there will be a complete write up on this + a writeup on the HK jet drive probably towards the weekend . Here is a quick picture of where I am so far .

I do not want to dirty your thread but here is a quick look .

That jet drive is really nice.

Punisher, Be careful of the jet drive. Having raced a full size offshore jet boat it will cavitate the jet drive as soon as the intake sees some air and the revs will go though the roof instantly!!
We ran a rev limter on the big block, you should see a big block torqe the mount 2" inches each way when the rev limter kickedoff or on.
