        Thanks Guys. Will still be a while before it hits the water, but at least the painting is DONE!

        Mike, feel free to adopt the cowling mod to your molds, who knows when I'll need a spare

          Scott, I am actually waiting on someone in cali to do me a new plug. Have not talked to him in a month or so. I need to get that cowling mod figured out soon, as I am not sure many know yet, but I am offering build services again on the GP hulls, tunnel hulls, and new kneeler hull, so I suspect things will ramp up quickly and that may be a great option for the boat! Talk soon, and keep us posted on your progress! Mike

            Looks great Scott. Nice to know the club is getting a few MLB's racing.

            Mike a beautiful timber rigger with mahogany sponsons would a great addition to line up I reckon.

              Slow progress, but it's getting there!

              Added some chrome striping that I cut out of a large chrome vinyl sheet. Also added some of the Red Bull decals, but I need some other vinyl to finish it off before adding the rest.

              Bolted the rear hardware on and installed the RX switch. All very simple stuff. Inside, I cut a small vertical member out to fit my ESC (probably going to use my YGE Navy 155). Plenty of strength and stiffness without the small piece. I added a layer of carbon where the ECS goes for a bit of extra strength in case it ever gets a hit from underneath.

                I see you drilled out the OSE motor mount for air flow, I did the same on my PTSS LSH. Works well! Very nice work!

                  Looks better every day Scotty.
                  Love the chrome touch.
                  I'm happy to say that my GP310 kit arrived yesterday. Now for some more building fun.
                  I've done your batteries & I'll have them at Boondall on Saturday or Lakeside on Sunday. Your choice.
                  Cheers.

                    It's basically finished now, apart from final detailing and programming the esc, radio etc. Pity I won't be able to test for about 3 weeks Will initially test with a 1518/1.5D and and M445. Final motor will probably be a 1521/1.5D, but I don't have any suitable props ready for that motor.

                    I found it a bit difficult with the 4S1P pack (5800 mAh) to get the weight far enough forward. Balances around 1.75" behind the sponsons as shown. One nice aspect to the boat is you can hide the wiring and cooling lines behind the framework to neaten things up a bit.

                      Still need to add an extension for the RX switch to the RX pack.

                          So Scotty. Will we see it on Sunday at the practice day?

                          I've decided that I'll need to invest in some 2s packs to get the weight forward in the GP310. A 4s just won't get far enough forward.

                          Cheers.
                          Paul.

                            Thanks B55!

                            Paul, my lad's christening is this Sunday, so I'll miss this practice, but I hope to test it after the next race meeting. Probably a good idea going to 2 x 2S on the GP310, looking forward to seeing that one!

                              Scott, the boat looks great. Because of the battery issues I figured people were having, I ended up adjusting the quarter round in all the V2 kits up to the front further so battery depth at the front is greatly increased. 1.75" cog is actually right were you will want to be. I am gonna PM you about that 1518 and propellers right now. Mike
