Man thats a nice hull!!! I'll be following you build Chris. I think my next build will be the HPR 135. But the boss says I have to wait till after I buy her a house. So hopefully I'll start on mine by the end of summer. Are you having Kent make anything special?

I installed the rudder first. To do this I actually made templates by using my daughters stamp and ink pad set. It sounds strange but worked amazingly well. After I stamped the rudder on to a pice of paper I cut out the exact image. I then applied a light misting of 3m spray adhesive and stuck it wherr I wanted it to be.

Thanks jason the hull is truely awesome man. Yes kent is making me some sick cf parts they are all cut and he should be shipping today. I am gettinh to the pics in a few minutes.

That stamp trick works good, I used that trick when I did my mono hardware placement.

[Chrisg81983]

Next I installed the drives. To do this I double sided taped them in place and just drilled. I then backed it with a pice of cf plate. I did this just to make a flat surface for the nuts and bolts to sit on as the hull did not need any strength in that area.

Jason the stamp trick worked very good and I will keep using that method from now on. funny I was watching my daughter play with her stamp set and I got an idea so basically I stole her toy right out from under her pretty mean rite lol but I did have her help

[Chrisg81983]

Today I just finished the rudder hydraulics here are a few pics as well

[Chrisg81983]

Now the part that kent did for me and I must say he is a very artistic and talented person. I couldn't be happier with the final product.

Chris just a helpful tip for when you use the ink pad. When your stamping the paper with your part. Put a folded paper towel under the part, that way you get a very clean stamp. Your pattern stamp came out nice. I know when I stamped my larger parts, I had to use the paper towel to get a good stamp.

What I wrote on Keith's site.
I used and ink pad to make the part like an ink stamp. Had to place a folded paper towel under the sheet of paper. So it had a little give to push the paper nicely against the part. I thought it way an OK idea, just thought I would share it. And yes I know my ruler is hot pink. Had to use the daughters ruler

Jason I know exactly what u r saying I had to do the same thing with the towel, And yes I love the ruler it matches my pink and purple ink.
