        Tonight I got some Velcro down on the trays and mounted the batteries. Also ran the cooling lines for inside the hull.
        These little details take time

          You've done an excellent job there, top shelf stuff! I'm sure you couldnt be more happy with it yourself. Look forward to seeing it set and sitting in the water with some nice video!

            Absolutely man.
            I'm down to the nitty gritty stuff here.
            It's pretty heavy with the batteries in there.
            Should be s good runner thru the chop here in New England.

              DF pirate 35 build

              Today I made a brace for the stuffing tube
              Then glued in
              Also buttoned up the wiring to the rx. Put some Vaseline on the channel the rubber sits in for the radio box
              So everything is in.
              Only things left are, mount water exits, fashion a way to hold down esc, and hatch mounting.
              I did a bathtub test, and it's dry inside. No leaks = Win!

                  Thanks bro.
                  Well, as soon as the ponds unfreeze around here.
                  Looking like within the next week or two depending on the weather.
                  Cmon sun!

                    Got the esc mounted in there tight today.
                    This thing is ready after I get the hatch mounted.

                      Luck, that looks great, I love your approach, it's got character!
                      I am still kicking myself for not buying your Miss Elam conversion.
