30" Scratch Built Cat

[Jeff Wohlt]

Fits the UL1, Elam, Vegas and most monos. SVs no problem with the brackets that come with it.

We pay so much attention to resistance and this is a no brainer to help eliminate just that. You do have to sand the stub down slightly since 187 bearings are really about 185. chuck it in a drill and sand it a bit. Bearings are good for about 45,000 rpm but change to ceramic and you are good for about 80,000...like anyone could do that.

What are you talkin Jeff, why do you think they make the 4mm props for?

[Jeff Wohlt]

I am talking the new strut with 3/16" shaft.

The other strut in the upper thread is a 4mm shaft that steps up to 3/16". I can make whatever you want to work...4mm props are fine as well.

I would rather use a 3/16" hub prop when we can...since the majortiy of of the props we use are Octura.

[Jesse J]

Actually, I was teasing, and meant a prop with 4mm od not shaft size.... and referring to your 80K rpms comment.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Ha...I get it. A little slow this morning.

I managed to redesign the plans to 810mm length with a 150mm wide tunnel and modified it so that brace F becomes a slightly tilted plywood twin motor mount. The plans are available as JPG, PDF or DXF for those who want it... That is a CAD rendering below, not the real thing yet.
The single drive version is also available in the same format.

I would like a set of plans of the 810mm x 150mm tunnel width for lazer cutting by Al Guzman.

What is your price sent to me via email?
What is your price sent to me on disc?

Thanks,

Jes, PM me your e-mail address and I will send them for free.

Guys, my build is progressing a bit. Paintwork is finished although not perfect, but for a first try and with rattle cans it turned out just fine. Next will be hardware install and decals. The rudder and stingers already mounted. The cockpit is a butchered SV27 canopy mounted far back to get that long nose sleek cat look.

It is actually not black, but Navy blue. The stinger is the Etti one as below...
The rudder is a Graupner one from Cornwallmodelboats.

Hi, I have a hatch with twin cockpits from a ProBoat Apache 24 which could be
used for Cats or Monos. Please let me know if anyone can use them and I will
ship free. This would be easier than styrofoam. Attached Photo.

HI m8 what the cost for this hatch with twin cockpits from a ProBoat Apache 24.i can use it

[Jesse J]

Lomdel, very nice looking build. I really like your paint scheme, how about shooting some pics in the sunlight during a float test? Great struts! I am ready to see her wet. Do you have any recent pics of the innards? Lookin good and SV lid works out real nice. Good job!
