Octura 645 ?? Too small, and has a 3/16 bore.
The propshaft is 1/4 ??

Hard to say, because I think this is the first FE Chapp.
I think you'll end up somewhere in the 55mm range. (max)

Are you going to use trim tabs?

Hi there
No trim tabs no turn Finns just as it is, i have a MHZ Lizard Xtreme setup the same way and it seems to run and turn just fine without it,i will see what happens with this boat
Here a few pics and a vid

Nice wipeout at the end!!!!

Hi,

Very nice and fast boat as well. I am surprised it runs so well without pulling to the right without trim tabs. Mine does. Are your weights distributed equally left and right? Do you have any secret...?

[EPower]

Hi
No secrets this boat runs strait as a die Cg around 31-32 % 87.6 kmh on that run best speed so far 91 kmh with modded Abc H5 prop i got some new batt coming will run 7S next time
Thanks for looking
Cheers Adrian

Thanks for posting!

Please excuse my OCD and ignorance, but it looks to me like you had a good 'ol time with the drill making your hole in the transom for the stuffing tube!

Looks from the inside like it's nicely filled, but the hole appears to be there from the "outside" pictures.

Pretty boat though! Any decals or paint?

This boat is setup with a bell inside the boat and the furrel that the cable connect to sits inside this bell the hole on the transom of the boat is oval so the strutt can be adjusted up or down
Take a good look at the pics and you might figure it out

Here is a better picture, i have setup all of my monos Dvees this way when i run a strutt setup
Cheers Adrian

Oh, cool!!

And... I did kinda think about something like having room to adjust the strut right after I posted...

But THAT'S pretty sweet.
