    Hello Guys,

    @ tiqueman: The dictionary tells me that in english they are called knurled nuts
    Here a picture: http://www.system-joerger.de/shop/im...utter%20M5.jpg

    And today I finished the next one. Its the far left one, the HPR06 from the thread "HPR06 - Austrian build". This cat is also not mine, its a custom build for Wolfgang T. from Munich. As mentioned in the thread I build it completely RTR and test driven including props and transmitter. Today was also the first test run, but as the water was extremely choppy I couldn't really try. Hopefully I can test again next week-end and make a nice video as well before the boat goes away for the paint job. The building review will be also following within the next days.

    But here some pictures of the result, I hope Wolfgang will be satiesfied with my work:

            Hello Guys,

            two pictures of the "fully loaded" HPR06:





            At the moment I'm working on the HPR135 on the far left, yesterday I epoxied the 7mm thick (!) motor mounts, today will follow the stuffing tube and the servo mount.

            Best regards,
            Manuel

                Sadly up to now not, also no reply via email. I'd really want to order quite a bunch of props.

                Best regards,
                Manuel

                      Hello Guys,

                      here some pictures of my HPR 135 "Fort Knox":





                      (Fort Knox - this is how Gerwin Brommer named it). Basically its a HPR135 hull. Normally Haempu offers GFK, CFK and carbon/cevlar. On request he makes even reinforced "bullet-proof" hulls. But he says, this hull is even stronger and he calls it the "tank" version (like army tank - probably for the crazy idiots)

                      And here a few pictures of the HPR135 on the far right, just telephoned with the owner and he seems to be pleased with the first pictures:

                            Very nice job, Manuel. What material is that yellow filling in between your sandwiched motor mount? What motor is it?

                                Manuel you have some talent or you had very good theacher! Because you are young, at your age my mind was focused only on studying and girls of course....

                                what makes the fort knox different from the carbon-kevlar version? what's the weight of hull only? Thanks
