      Talk to member on here Rearwheelin. I think he was making some nice ones.
      Also I believe fightercat has some

            What size turn fins did you use? Or recommend? Also your trims tabs? I think the speed master billet CNBC aluminum tabs are awesome. Looks like that's what you used as well correct? Thanks man

              Yes those are the trim tabs indeed.

              The turn fins are the large

                This excellent build thread must be way above 10,000 view count were it not for the non-updating-status of the view counter. ()

                Too many boats, not enough time...

                  Hull should be here any time! Anybody run the neu 1527? Can't decide between that and the castle 1717... Any input thanks!

                    The 1521 was plenty for this hull. A 1527 would be complete overkill. In fact the 1521 barely knew it has run. It really only got warm after s full run.
                    If you want to overpower it, the1717 is s great budget friendly choice. The 1527 is just more money, and pretty much not needed at all

                      Ok good to know, I was gonna spend the more money thinking higher price=higher quality. Did you ever get close to 60 like you were hoping, with the 1521?

                        Hull showed up! Was frightened when I saw the box damaged, but it's all good! Made it to Cali unscathed. Cf should be here any day, along with some hardware... Ordering motor and motor mount tomorrow.... Let's get this mother going! Still waiting for the sf 240 to be in stock, might look into other options if it's too long of a wait. Pumped though!

                          You know, I never gps it, but I'm pretty sure on the 448 I was hitting 60. I actually propped down to a 445 for sport running
                          The nue motor is def worth the money, but when it comes to 1521 or 1527, the 1521 was more than enough to send it airborn. Plenty of power

                              You bet, thank you for all your help, and your thread lit a fire under my %$&! I'll start a new thread too. Going to buy a new air brush this week, some thing simple and classy like yours I hope. Thanks again
