Chris got all your emails, lots of stuff to sort out. Will email you in the morning.... Getting late here (in bed with the iPad LOL slowly dosing off)

Kent that's cool I forget the time zone thing.... I know all about the IPad routine I do it every night.

Looking good, What type of water pickups are you going to use

[Chrisg81983]

Not sure for water pickups most likely just the aluminum/brass tubing in bottom of sponson. I have used this method many times and it works great. What do u think ?

Hi Chris,

for the area with the hatch lock system. Will work as you did it but won't add mutch strength. I'd have cut out little triangles of CF or GFK sheet, glue them with some thickened epoxy into each corner and then put 1-2 layers of weave above it (same triangle shape but bigger in dimensions).

The RedBull graphics look pretty awesome.

Water Pickups: I'd also go with a brass/aluminium tube, something with 4mm OD and 3.2mm ID should work fine.

regards,
Manuel

[Chrisg81983]

Hey Manuel how are you ? Inlayed a 4 mm thick cf plate in the middle of the epoxy when pouring it should I go over it with some cf matting or something. Thanks form your help

[ManuelW]

Okay, when there is already some CF sheet inside it is fine. Just from the pictures I was guessing it was just pure epoxy which is not as good as it could be.

regards,
Manuel

Sorry about the misleading info I forgot to say that I added the cf plate. I did the hatch bolts a week or so ago and forgot to update the thread until today.

I would go with the brass tube as well, The square one's look ok, but cutting that small square hole out for them to fit. Round hole, a little epoxy.... call it done

[nata2run]

I cut out the square on my small cat "sorry Chris its now my small cat" used a dremel and then files. Took me forever but the result was WOW. I would do it again any day and now regret I didnt do it on my new cat. If you install a factory pickup, you know its going to work and give you maximum cooling.

[Chrisg81983]

Ok well while I am waiting for the rest of my parts I figured i would do my starting set of props.
Tonight I thinned, sharpened, detongued, balanced,and polished a set of counter rotating x447's.

well here they are

[Chrisg81983]

Oh and thanks for all the tips with the cooling system guys. I have decided to go with somewhere around a 4 mm brass tube mounted on the ride pad. I rather drill a tiny round hole than a big square hole. Thats unless I can borrow a square drill bit from someone because I have yet to find one lol.

[nata2run]

Looks good Chris!! just that much closer to the 100mph mark.......LOL

[Chrisg81983]

Thanks Kent ! I just can't wait to actually really start building it.

[Chrisg81983]

Ok so I called yesterday to see what's going on with my order. He stated that it will most likely ship Monday or Tuesday the latest. They were just waiting on the rear ring supports for the motors to be powder coated. Then my final order from Manuel will ship soon after. He just needed to get another sled for the lipos trays made up as they ran out at the moment. Kent will be shipping the vinyl any day mow as it's all printed out. I must say he did a great job with it. Hopefully this build will really get moving soon. Sorry for the delay guys.

That is going to look great Chris.
