Scott's ML GP335

[Scott T]

I've been working on this kit for a while, it goes together very nicely, and the laser cutting is excellent. Since there's been multiple threads about how to build these, I'll just show the differences on mine, and the final rigging.

I put a battery tray in to give the cells a nice flat surface to mount to. It will be running a 4S1P 5800 mAh pack. Before mounting the tray, I added some carbon mat to stiffen up the floor a bit. The tray will also allow for velcro straps to hold down the battery more securely.

I'll be using one of the newer GP cowls. It fits the hull very nicely. The cowl hasn't been fully trimmed at this stage.

I forgot to get a photo of the battery tray straight after installing it, but here it is now. It's a bit hard to see with it all being carbon, but hopefully it looks OK. The sponsons have been joined and the motor and stuffing tube added also.

I've been checking these boats out myself. Is this a complete kit with the sheet wood?
Looks like you've got a Neu in it. Which one?

Nice one Scott.
It will be good to have another type of hull in the 4s class. I like the GP series.

I'm building up one of the GP400 kits for 6s EB class running. As you said, the laser cutting is excellent. The whole thing goes together like dream.

See you Sunday.
Paul.

Boat is looking great Scott. Mine is really coming together and running well.

Unfortunately can't make it this Sunday.

Cheers

Yep, the kit comes with all frames, sheeting and batten sticks. Very complete. I'm going to start with the Neu 1518/1.5D (2300kV) and see how it goes. It was a powerhouse in my DF33. Another option is a 1521/1.5D.

Hey Paul, I'm sure yours will turn out excellent like the U95. Will have a chat about it on Sunday.

Andrew, your ML looks really nice. What set-up are you running?

I found a couple more pics of the battery tray and one of the completed hull with cowl.

thanks

Scott I am running a TP4050 2200kv in mine. Once I got the strut sorted the other day it was running much better ie. no more flips. I have a few of them ready for a twin 6s rigger using them. I think it will lunch a few. lol.

No worries, I used a detongued X442 a lot of the time, the motor really screamed with that small-ish prop. It had no problems swinging an M445, but the boat was on the edge...

Andrew, good stuff those TP motors seem pretty good.

Beautiful build.

It's too bad there are so many wusses in my part of Canada. They all opted out of P-sport hydro in favor of LSH. Oh well, my Whip 20 sits ready on the shelf for the day when FE racing in Southern Ontario makes a revival.

You know, for the $$ THIS MOTOR is worth trying to make a pop tart out of it...
