Mystic C5000 1140mm new projet build

Looking closely at the picture did you drill into the hull and insert the pipe then drill the teardrop into the pipe?. Looks very neat, o for the inexperienced is it better to install a surface mounted pick up?

Thanks

I think as soon as the value is over about 25 euros you pay the tax. You also have to pay to do the customs clearance. They are not nearly as strict in the Uk where I can have things shipped to my brother and then sent on. Oh the joys of living in Spain

Quick question. Where should the centre of gravity approximately be on an 86cm catamaran hull or does it vary a lot. Just want to fix some lipo trays in which are long enough for me to adjust the position of the battery and thus the COG.

Varies a lot. Running a flush pickup is the way to go, transom mounted pickups look bad and cause some added drag. Don't worry drilling a hole in the bottom is easy. If you're too nervous drink a beer before it...then again you might not drill straight lol. Just draw what you want on the bottom of the hull, get a dremel bit that looks right and let the tool do the work.

Don't have a beer!!! your hands will shake LOL, and you might make a long scratch mark along the bottom of the hull. Use some masking tape to cover say 50x50mm of the area. Drill the hole slightly smaller and use rolled up sandpaper to extend the hole to fit the pipe. Then insert tube as flush as it can be but like 1/10mm poking up. just enough so you can feel it. Then epoxy it in. When cured, use a Chain saw sharpening 3/16 straight dremel bit on a slight angle to do the cut. if you really want, use some carbon plate with the tube inserted, and pretend its the bottom of the sponson to cut some practice tear drops before cutting into the hull. Then make the cut, and have the beer :-)

Why would you buy the TP motors against the Leopard motors?

Sorry not to have been online for a bit but just had a few problems. Which servo should I buy? I also note they all appear to be digital servos. I have a standard Turnigy 2.4 ghz set up do I need to change this to suit a digital survey? Also I will be needing two Esc and I was thinking of using the Seaking 180amp which I have experience of and seem reliable. Does anyone have a better suggestion (Hopefully cheaper!!) and finally when I connect the two Esc into one receiver port, how do I do that? I assume I just connect both sets of wires into one terminal?

Thanks in advance.
