I wish my FE30 would pop up (the one that's on permanent display on the bottom of McKellips pond in Scottsdale ). There should be no problem making the P-Ltd Cat class minimum- only three boats are needed with the SCSTA -Boyd may show as well plus Stephen, Naveed and me.. Might have some practice time next week ; let's talk

Yep I was cruising along admiring the build and then a yellow Fe 30 pops up . Butterflies and nightmares.
On a brighter note I'm pretty stoked on how my pursuit is running with some tired batteries , can't wait to pick up my dinogys. Not sure how long it will be before my new hatch gets here so I made one that looks good from 50 ft away. Also got a nice big rudder on there, huge difference.
I'll be running p ltd cat next weekend, assuming the boat min. Is met. Could use a tune day before hand, water is usually flatter down there then when I run up here. Might have some free time mid week if you are gonna run at all before the race.

Looks good Tony. Sorry for the newbie question but who makes the hull?

I have a direct connection with the maker in China. Might end up with a distribution deal.

Hello Tony,

I am testing with various strut/stinger length. I refer to John Finch's MONO MANIA. I believe 8.5% strut/stinger length is a pretty good value, reduce porposing. I have a rudder similar to yours. I modified the rudder to match the strut/stinger length:

Longer rudder mount lift the transom in a turn.

Hello Tony,

I race NAVIGA style offshore, eq. to oval. My JC30 weighted 3490g(7.7lbs). Lift and speed were high. I will either add ballast or reduce the pad area. Will try add ballast first, make it 3595g(7.93lbs). The desigh was refer to Jim Russell's article "Why does a 'pad' make a V-hull faster?". Bigger pad not necessarily better. Depend on boat set up.

Rgds,


Leo

Hi Tony/Leo.
I wish I still had my JC30. But unfortunately it was T-boned by another boat & basically destroyed.
Might have to get another one soon.

Nice work, as always, Tony.

Cheers.
Paul.

Hello Tony,

I run rc boat with some other boaters. But no one could help me to take video for most of the time. I made some tool to help take video by my own:
