My Micro Hydro

[JimClark]

More progress. I added blind nuts for turn fins and watercooling and reinforced the motor mount area with 1/32 ply

I know I have not been working on this for a while now. Just toooooooooooo many other things getting in the way. Today I tried a test of the urathane pour foam in an extra cowl i got from Randy to make sure it doesn't react badly to the plastic Randy uses. It seems just fine it got a little warm but nothing bad and it did absolutely nothing to the cowl. Seems like great stuff and the next step will be to pour it into the sponsons and shape them in preparation for joining the top and bottom. Hopefully get this thing done fairly quickly.

sounds like some interesting stuff. is it available in small qty's anywhere?

[JimClark]

smallest i have seen it is in a one pint can. It is a two part and there is one pint of each in the kit.
Jim

[Sneasle]

hmm.. ok.

Where do you get it? How much does it expand?

[JimClark]

I got mine at a local company named Fiberlay somewhere on here there is a thread talking about the foam and there are links where you can order it.

Looking very nice.

Somehow I managed to loose my list of motors/esc's I had planned for my hulls. I'm not at a loss as to what I wanted to use in this boat. Can't figure out if it was that little 380L 2700kv motor or something else..

Were you gonna run one of the little mystery motors?

[JimClark]

yes one of the little Mystery 3000hv motors and esc

[JimClark]

Designed the tail today and glued the two pieces of the hull together

Nice Jim.

My cash is major tight so I haven't been able to do much of anything hobby wise sadly. Hopefully I can pick up some ply and cut me those frames in the next few weeks.

nice, looks good.

mind if I do a mini hijack of your thread Jim? It's kinda related, but kinda not.

[ace028]

Looking good, I love your builds, they are always clean, and have outstanding pics!!!

[JimClark]

Thanks I need to update as I now have the tail made and attached and it is starting to look like a boat. Just haven't had a lot of time to work on it as i have been repairing my old 1/10th scale that I sold when I got out of racing. The guy I sold it to got hit and there was a fair amount of damage to it.
updates soon
