MHZ Mystic 1380mm build

[nata2run]

Hello Everyone,
I thought I would start this thread as I have the Carbon/Kevlar 1380mm 54" MHZ Mystic on order including hardware. Should be here next week or so.

The plan is to keep this one on a semi budget but make use of my Lehners (2250/5 D on 5s) or (2250/8.5 Wye on 8s) May be a bit on the short side but I'm not looking for TOP speed at the moment 130-150km/h. I would rather spend the time to get a nice build and paint job, and ofcause have some fun on the big lake.

I havent desided on a theme yet, but I quite like the Lehner colours for the inside of the hull (black purple & chrome) so lots of carbon, anodized aluminium & polished steel.

If anyone have any ideas, please share so we can all learn something.

Do you have the drives yet? The new click drives are really nice! Similar to Christians drives on his turbine HPR.

Man, I really like those. I couldn't figure out, do they have ball bearings installed?

MHZ external antennas are nice, clean and removeable!

I'm using the small version that I got from a forum member should work great.

What exactly does this mini antenna do? I've seen these on some boats while I've also seen a really short antenna tube. For the spectrum MR200/MR3000, the exposed antenna wire is only like 3" long if that.
