Doby's New Cat Spring/ Summer Build

[Doby]

Thanks DIASR;

The Spektrum that I'm using is the DX-3.0 that has served we well in all my boats for the past 4 years. No Problems with it at all, but I always use a small external antenna.

Motor mount arrived today.

Doby, before you seal the hull, get the brass tubing much closer to the coupler.

As I see it, the bottom is extremely similar to the Sprintcat's, only the top changes.

Doby ..super nice work and I love the boat....before I found this thread I have been looking at this hull in white for a few days now ...I need a hull for my Neu 2215/2y that is supposed to be delivered to me any day now and I'm looking at this rudder strut system also

How close are you to running this beauty?...
I have been searching YouTube for the falcon 41 and the boat looks very impressive on the water .....it makes sense this boat has the Sprint cat 42" hull copy

this hull is not new...Gasser's been using it for some time

GL man keep us informed

Hi Bust;

Originally planned its maiden voyage for this weekend, but time restrictions with other priorities have been slowing it down a bit. Things still to be done are; controller mounted and all hardware thread-locked in place,,,,,, figure out the best way to secure the lipos and order some props,,,,,and a few other things.



It really is a great hull for the price.

Speed Control Mounted, Reciever and Battery Pack in place, On/ Off Switch mounted.

May I ask which ESC is it?

May I ask which ESC is it?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it looks like a 100amp 12s turnigy sentilon with a water cooler modified by Peter

The exterior work continues while waiting for the motor mount.

Doby that checkerboard looks like a vinyl tape?......where could I acquire it
