Phil Thomas SS21- Build

[nate]

Im about to start laying down the CF Twill, but first I wanted to get a shot of
the inside one last time before It goes in.

This stuff is very annoying, twill will fall all to pieces if its not taped, or
glued were it needs to be cut..I used Medium CA glue and run a bead down
each sides, then were it need to be cut...

after that hang it up so it will dry...

Im also trying to figure out how this motor is gunna fit..the mounts are alittle to tall
an won't allow the cowl to sit flush on the hull..

I order the William's Racing mount and its not going to work because of the water jacket.. and Im deffinatly using water cooling for 5s...

Ill figure somthing out im sure..

Motor mount almost finished, Im waiting for the Speedmaster rudder and
some other parts to come in, Ill try and get the drive shaft mounted in tonight
and maybe try to get another coat of primer on before my base coats come in tomorrow
afternoon.

Here's more pictures..

Thanks Jimmy, How much have you got done on your setup?

[Rumdog]

damn Nate, at this rate it'll be on the water by tomorrow. lol, i'm the same way. If i've got the time, and the goodies in front of me, I go go go till it's done!

[nate]

Well Im trying not to rush it..but yeah I wish it was done..

Im already getting tired from all the sanding and primer ect. lol

Every boat I do it seem's that Im tired of working on it after the paints done..

Maybe cause of all the tedious little things to do in paint work..

Im still waiting on my new 28c Flightpower 5s packs, front mount for my motor, 2 props, SM Rudder and the base coats to finish the paint, after that it should be ready for testing...then a video!!

Question, Will an M445-2blade be too much for 5s2p on the Hydra120 and Neu 1.5y???

any answer's???

[nate]

Cowl next....

Last coat of primer on the hull.

[nate]

Now I need to re-make a new turn fin while I wait on the paint to dry lol

[tth]

I believe an M445 will be fine. Just make sure to bring her in often while testing.

[nate]

Thank you for the answer tth, Ill try the x442 for the first minute and check everything...

the m445 on 5s should make her really ripp right??

[nate]

Ready for a coat of paint yay!!lol

[nate]

Purple haze. It went on great, there are minnor places that need sanding and a light scruff before the Clear coat goes on, by the way this is only 1 of 3 diffrent purples going on the hull.

Thats my little secret sorry man.

These picture's in no way show this paint justice, There is no way to get
an actual shot outside or in to show your what the true color is, maybe my camera...







Inside diffrence, its almost black, All I can say is SICK LOL
