Rudder for a 32" Cat

[jcgc]

Can someone tell me who makes this rudder, and if they make one for a 32" Cat.

That looks like MHZ or HPR.Both high end hulls and hardware.
I used a Speedmaster Mini Hydro rudder on my 32"cat.Its offset,but works great.Im sure someone else on here knows of a center mount that will fit if thats what your wanting.

Thanks for the info. I guess I am looking for a center mount rudder. I would like to find one without the water pickup as I'm going to mount the pickups in the bottom of the hull.

The rudder shown is a HPR rudder. Just anodized blue instead of the std black. OSE does sell a center mounted rudder under drive hardware.

You d be hard pressed to find a rudder without the pickup.Except for once again a high end rudder such as in my previous post.You dont have to use the water pick up thats in the rudder.Just leave the hole open-all its going to do is spray water in the air.I use floor mounted pick ups too,but I also have a pick up in the rudder which I take the water nipple out of.

Using a 32"cat such as the one in my avatar,is there room for a low pro servo using a center mount rudder using pull/pull cables?

[jcgc]

I don't know about the servo issue. I'm new to Cats and this will be my first build.
Thank you guys for any info you might have on Cats, and not the four legged kind.

Thumb through the boat building threads and you will find a lot of ideas for your cat.I have a recent build of my avatar under Larrys 32"cat.

[jcgc]

Yeah, I've been reading for days. I bought the same hull from Benjamin at Fightercatracing.com.

Is this the center mount rudder that was mentioned? I don't think it's long enough, 65mm

That is a tad short. FighterCat has a center mount rudder coming.

Best build on an EKOS, HOR 32" cat type hull is on RC Universe by Serge. He made everything from scratch, rudder, drives, coolers, couplers, Props, casting & all!

Yes there is room for pushpull.

Oh, I like this hardware. Cat isn't bad either.

You'd fall off your chair if I told you how much they are, cheap that is.

[oscarel]

Ok, how cheap is it?

[jcgc]

Yeah, how much is that set up? And what boat is that?

[ray schrauwen]

It is from an independant builder in China. I was contacted through FaceBook.

C'mon, lets play guess the price .

I like the hardware but it is more for looks. If you look closely there is a second set of metal arms coming from the servo inside. All the other stuff appears to be just for appearances.

Lets see what your guess is first, I'll tell you later since I just woke up from being up too late.

I also know where there is a sale on 3rd shift Leopard motors. Can you say $105.00 + shipping for a 5692!!?? Can't tell you if they are identicle yet....

Here is a peek at their 2 meter long Catmaran!!!

Looks sweet! If I had the money I would drop a couple 2028's in one!!

These cats aren't listed on their web site yet. i will ask Steve if I can post a link.

It should be o.k. I don;t see Steve selling 2 meter cats yet...
