Doby's New Cat Spring/ Summer Build

[Doby]

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

Yup.

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

Its from my local hobby shop, they use it for airplanes. Not sure who makes it, but its about 6 bucks a sheet. Its not very flexible so its mainly for flat surfaces.

It might be made by Monokote.

Found a link.

Sunday morning????

[Doby]

Well, She's all done.

Final Foaming added, Velcro added for the batteries, Antenna mounter and GPS in place.

Next weekend will be the maiden voyage.

Wow! I don't think that cat could ever sink!

What foam did you use?

[Doby]

Great Stuff, applied in small amounts over several days. Strength, flotation and almost no weight. You have to love it.

Ok, so add just a little at a time, let dry then add more, not to pop the hull?

Yup

Man, these cats actually do very well in the water. My boat build has 2 of these setup with Zen's and they fly and stay on the water!
