41" Kneeler FE Hydroplane build (well, building 2 of these)

[cybercrxt]

Tom, I will post on the motor, and wood, and plans later tonight or tommorow. Wife has dinner ready, but didnt want to forget about this thread! Mike

Also try your LHS. They use plywood for airplane builds as well...

[cybercrxt]

Well, here is a plywood reply for now. I have to go out on a jobsite in a few, so limited time.

Go there, buy what you need, and never ever go anywhere else again. Half the price of anyone else, quality wood, cheap shipping, and FAST shipping. Mike

Is there a special conversion plate for the 7.5 outboard? Because I can only find the plate for the 3.5 outboard. Will it work? Here's the link:

that is a glamour, im in love, and i want one....

Tom, hyperformance has the 7.5 elecrtic conversion kit in stock, but you have to call them, its not on the site! I am getting ready to order another one for another project. To anyone interested, I have one of these hulls already built and ready to sell. Its finished, but not epoxyed. If someone wants it for FE I can do the radio box. Just ask me about it, Mike

[Tom M]

Thanks. I will have to call them. I just got the Medusa motor ($95, I couldn't pass it up) so now as soon as I am done with my Titan I can start this build. I can't wait. Please do keep us updated.

P.S. Sorry about all the questions, I am a 15 Year Old Kid and I am very anxious to build boats.

[screwball]

oh ok thanks ive oredered from their before lol

[cybercrxt]

Tom, What size Medusa did you get? I hope its at least a 70mm can. Let me know, MIke

[Tom M]

Mike, I got the same one as you, the 36-80-1600. I found it at such a good price that I couldn't pass it up.

[cybercrxt]

Where did you get it that cheap??? i need a 36-80-2000 for a Hornet Tunnel I am working on right now. Mike

[Tom M]

i got it off of RCTech.net in the for sale section. The motor was mint and only used for about 5 minutes. Keep looking around, they do pop up quite frequently on rctech.net.

[cybercrxt]

Here is the cowling and decals I had made. Should look really nice! Below that is the 3 boats I am working on right now. They are a 34" Hornet tunnel, The 41" kneeler, and the 41" Capsule Hydro! Wish I had more time! Mike

[Tom M]

Mike, that is looking sweet. PM sent.

Started on the radio box last night. I got it epoxyed this morning, but that is not in the pics.
