DF pirate 35 build

[flraptor07]

Tonight I got back to work on the cf inlay.
I went ahead and layed a big piece under the deck. All I have left is too lay strips down the seems.
Today I got a nice pic of it on frozen water

That sure is a sexy boat, I'm thinkin' I may have to build one too! I wonder if it would make a decent Q-Mono boat

I guess the reports of record snowfall up there were true...........................wow

Boat looks great. Hopefully you don't have a "bunch" of decals going on it....................looks so sleek now.

No just a couple.
Don't worry it's not gonna look like a circus show I promise lol

Considering I know nothing about racing classes I have no clue.
I'm still at least a month away from even hoping the lakes will be water.

Q is for 40" or less, and up to 6s I believe

If I had that thing ready and all the lakes around me were friz, I'd make me a trip somewhere that had liquid water!!

Yes, correct

So, I'm ready to buy all my electronics today.
I've decided the 1521 1577 kv is the appropriate motor.
Which esc should I get?
I'll be running an x450 to start.
Thanks

I was looking at the sf pro escs. I would like the built in bec, of course OSE is out of stock on any of the ones I like.

Well I ordered the motor, radio, prop, cable, grease and a few other smalls.
That leaves the esc, servo, and batteries basically left to grab

Wow, big'n to "start" with, I may want to consider an x645, y547 too, you may not want so much diameter.

[Luck as a Constant]

I dunno, fluid suggested the 450. He said between 50 and 55mm is appropriate for this size hull.
I have to agree.
I ran a 45mm prop on my 29" mean machine so 50 seems about rite.


On another note, the motor mount, cf swordfish mount and cf xl battery trays I ordered from kintec this morning have already shipped.

I figured since I'm using a 1.4 pitch, that I would need a little diameter.
I know the 1.6 props I hate on a mono. Too much lift

so, i drilled the hole in the transom for the stuffing tube. its up fairly high, so the tube has some clearance under it inside the hull.
anyone care to share ideas on bracing it underneath?
