    Clear I used is PPG 2042... Two wet coats.

    I did switch to a standard sized touch-up gun this time for the clear. The 1.2mm tip really made a nice difference in how the clear went on. Was using my 0.6mm "detail" guns, but it wasn't wetting out the finish that well.

    I sprayed the color with the 0.6mm tips... Thinking I might try the 1.2mm next time for that as well.

    I didn't have a choice of tip size but I used the expensive harbor freight hvlp touch up gun. The cheap one does not flow well at all.

      Wrapped her up this weekend. Prepped an ICE200 ESC for marine use, and added an RPM sensor and Voltage sensor to the ESC for use with my Spektrum SR4000T RX (which has built-in telemetry). Should be useful real-time information.

      I just need to add some floatation and fresh batteries and get some testing done. Hopefully next weekend.

                Spektrum DX4R-Pro at the moment. There is a S/W update available on the Spektrum site that allows the earlier DX4R-Pro, and I think the DX4S, to work with the Telemetry. The recent ones would obviously come with it installed.

                  Darin, great job! Setup just as I like - clean and nice!
                  But after finished this thread still got couple of questions. As I understand you reinforce the transom with carbon sheet and after that make the threaded holes for transom hardware screws and do not use any nuts inside? What was the thickness of this carbon?
                  And could you please explain what is the reason to use this big tube in the transom for stuffing tube? How it help? Thanks!
