Hey Shawn, great looking build! Super clean! Can't wait to see some vids of it on the water. Also Thanks for sharing a few of your tricks

Hey thank you. She should be soon on the water. I just have to install flexes,( like really, I have them glued together and sized), my Andy Browns (447’s) are here and maybe a good once over. Charge packs and go. Oh yeah, I NEED A DECENT DAY!!! Lol

Ah yes, the most elusive commodity

You going to be running 1/4 or 3/16 flex cables on that thing?

3/16” Dmitry, or somewhere between 4.75 and 5mm if I run the cable I got from MHZ. Some sort of in between size

I am hoping for this coming Tueday. I just have to tighten my collets and charge packs. Yayy

Made it out briefly the other day. It was a beautiful day. All ran well, slipped a collet, and I think I need to teardrop the water inlets a bit. Ran a beater set of 447’s for the inaugural. I am still getting used to these dihedral hulls and there are a lot of buoys on this waterski lake. I’ll try to get more open water next time out

That's looking awesome...
Well done bud.

I think I had way too much weight up front. I’ll try the mid mount next time out. Maybe I can get a bit of the drunken turtle behaviour out of it at slower speeds.
I’ll measure the CG for future reference.

Did the tip of the flex cable get damaged at all or did you catch it early enough?

It seemed to tighten Back up Ryan. These cables aren’t soldered as I couldn’t get it to stick.

One of the best investments that I made is those cheap blowtorch attachments for small gas bottles that sell for around $10.00 on eBay. They are commonly used by chefs in kitchens for caramelising cooking but have a wide usage in our hobby from heating up tips of cut flexshafts hot enough to accept solder plus heating brass tubing to firstly bend stuffing tubes then reheating to heat treat them once formed. Another usage that my son showed me was heating say a prop that had been Loctited inplace allowing easy removal.

Nothing yet, and likely not till July/August. I have been more focused on my chopper but it is done now. I have a good work run to do, but after that I should be ack on the water.

Shawn, does your gps get signal if you place it under your stock HPR hatch?

For some reason mine doesn’t... I haven’t tried placing it inside of the deep oval portion of the hatch yet , just next to ESC

I haven’t tried it yet Dmitry, but I have a Kevlar hatch as well for it(or maybe that’s what you mean). Looks like I should have it out this weekend. I have to scout the lake tho prior to running. Been some debris there this year.
