I'm using a fiberglass bono that is used in marine. I have a ways to go but thought that I would share this with you.

It might have been me. I showed some pistol casings that I modified to do something simular.

Well you can't show a ballanced prop, but I have them ballanced know. I'm still trying to get the exhaust outlets just right. I have the battery placement figured out as well. Placement will very depending on the batteries and conditions of the water. I will show pictures as soon as I have the velcro straps in place to hold them.

Hey I spoke with someone who has run this hull before, the boat runs well with around 35-38% COG. Figured I would throw this out there as I am getting my FC ready for its maiden so I personally haven't run mine yet either, 20 degree weather in NY is keeping me far away from the water.

I have the same weather here (cold). I have gone ice fishing and have been doing well at it catching Eastern Brooks. I smokem!
I'm in no rush. I always build something in the winter. I thought that I would try a boat.

I was told that the flex shaft needs to be cut at 300mm. I only took a inch off my flex shafts. I plan on running my batteries in the rear of the boat.

Well I spent some more money os some Lipos. Pair of 8s nano tech 65-130c 5000 I will use them for speed runs to keep the boat light.

From experience on these from LZRC( promise hobby) the metal is brittle.
I had fractured 2 at the opp side to the bolt befor I decided to use 1/4 aero wheel colkars.

Hey bud I feel like you built this boat overnight you need an rc ice cutter to plow the way for the mystic lol. It sucks waiting for the maiden run because of weather. My boat is heavy as I run 12s1p per side this thing weighs like 26 or 27 pounds loaded up I think. Makes quite a wake which is cool. Can't wait to see video of your boat it looks like fightercat has moved quite a few of the super daytona hulls in the past few months. Very light layup hull for those interested and build quality is "ok," but it can be made great with braces/carbon.

Oh and Twisted thanks a lot for making me the carbon fiber braces for my boat very nice job and they look great in my boat!
