Pre-preg carbon self righting Titan 29 build

[Bigbore]

I want to show you what I have made with my old Titan 29. I've made my own molds to replicate the hull with pre-preg carbon fiber polymerized in autoclave at 130 °C (266 °F) and 5 bar of pressure and while I was making the molds I've made some modifications.
First of all I want a self righting mono to run it in the choppy open sea where it capsizes often so I have added a flooding chamber, second it have to be very strong to bash the hell out of it.
Other upgrades are the possibility to have a monocoque hull if the flooding chamber is not needed and also the hull is ready for sub hatch just out of the mold.
I do not have autoclave at home but I’m so lucky to have a friend of mine involved in real motorbike carbon parts that has it.
This is a monocoque hull made from him to show it at the meetings they have some time. It’s carbon fiber sprayed with automotive transparent.

This is my hull just out of the molds for the future self righting feature. It's made with a layer of black gell coat over the carbon fiber at the bottom and only carbon fiber on the top.

Adding flooding chamber......

Oooo I'm following this one!

Yes I'm liking this too, just built a delta force 41 with chamber to run in rough water. I'm now addicted to monos and flood chambers for fun running. Will be following this, looks good so far!!

Upper and lower part of the hull glued together. The boat is ready for the hardware.
I’m going to run this baby on 4S in rough water and on 5S at the lake on calm water.
The setup will be the following:
Motor: Leopard 4092 1600kv
ESC: Turnigy 180A
Shaft: 2mm (0.078”) wire drive with 3/16” prop shaft
Speedmaster stinger with custom made prop-saver, Speedmaster 21 rudder, custom carbon trim tabs and custom carbon turn fins
@ Cooper I have subscribed your Deltaforce with chamber thread and I'm reading it

subscribed.
Later on I would like to talk to you about making molds and such.
Great work!

Nice job

[Bigbore]

@ larryrose11 your welcome to ask question about making molds
I will be using the water cooled motor mount with rear support for long motors and the motor will be installed in front of the batteries with a pair of carbon plates that are longer than the stock ones to hold the ESC too. This would be good to have a very low bend on the wire drive.
The first picture is just before the last upgrade, then at the rear motor support I have slotted the holes to have some degree of adjustment when aligning the motor coupler with wire drive.

How would somebody go about aquiring one of these? They do look sweet!

I dont see a problem with copying something for personal use. But not for resale.

The original hull maker will do a CF layup for a price. Mike Pags has one.

I've seen Mikes. It was nice. Not to mention, the fastest boat on the course. But then again, most of Mikes boats are.

I'm watching!!!

Do you have a plan for using a turn fin on the side with the flood chamber?
