MHZ Mystic 1380mm build

[Prop-a-Gator]

I really like your flex shaft holder design. Looks great mounted to the carbon-sheathed flex tubes. I've never built a twin. Is it ok to have that much flex showing between the tube and the coupler? Is that gap to allow removal of the coupler nut?

Looks totally awesome and i love the carbon plate work. I would like to speak to you about making me some parts if you are interested ?

Always interested in helping out a fellow mate :)

Thanks Gator,
by the time I get the nut back on and install a flex saver there will be less than half an inch showing. I think it should be ok, less chance of snapping if slightly misaligned. Can wobble but half an inch should be ok.

Ok, Got some more done, and worked on the pull/pull system. Still not 100% happy but never mind. Just need to waterproof a few spots loctite all screws, add ESC's. Drive to pond :)
Oh and props are 4818/3 on 8s

You're making it look too easy. Always a fast builder. Almost time to start looking for your next hull.
BTW... have you seen the 1.8 pitch CNC props on FCR? 50-55mm DIA. Too big for me, but sounds like you were looking for something in that range.

Hehe, I hope I can make it look easy, that's the point no? How ever you can do it fast when you have all the machines to cut things out. Some may argue that it's cheating because the machine did it. But does it apply if you build the machine too? Resin only takes 24 hours to cure. By the way props are similar to FC's they are 4818 CNC. I noticed they don't bend they snap. Looks to be very good quality

Has anyone out there completed the rudder pull/pull on one of those. I seriously dont like the way its sugested by MHZ. I much rather the wires runing inside tubes way above the waterline. But I dont want to reinvent the plate :) the way it is now, hull will definely take in water!

4818's?Where did you find those Kent?
BTW I think you are in the clear if you built the machines

LOL ok then...... I got the props locally. They look to be of good quality. I had a x445 from the same company, and they are tough as! Accidently hit something and it just snapped no bend or anything just snapped. So they are hard as. They are so light you can't even balance lol... Hopefully I can finish off the build soon and get her on the water. Just curious to see how she performs before I invest in a nice paint job. Forecast looks good though, and I'm confident I didn't spare anything or cut corners.

yes pull pull
rods at very end for emulaton of hydraulic ram.

I don't think you need to worry about anyone accusing you of "cheating" for using CNC to cut your parts. I wish I had access to CNC & laser/water cutter. Nor would I think cutting corners is in your vocabulary based on your builds. Your quick and clean builds are a testament to your planning and preparation. Nice work, nata.
Checking the forecast... you must be close to finished
