HPR Mania - Version 2011

[ManuelW]

Hello Guys,

thanks for the comments, makes me proud.

@ Himalaya: the "yellow filling" is in fact the sandwich material. This is Kevlar-Nomex Honeycomb material and CF sheets on both sides. I think I'll leave this open as it is waterproof and has a unique look. The motor is a LMT 3040 dummy with Air cooling, motor has 1000g and concerning the size its a bit bigger than a NEU 2220.

@ the savy fluxxer: thanks!

@ Dimitris:
Well I'd say both, hopefully some talent and some very good teachers like Flo & mudl. The Fort-Knox version has both, carbon and carbon/cevlar - thats what makes it superstrong. Weight of the hull only is amazing, just 3325g WITH the hatch!

Best regards,
Manuel

Some progress on the HPR 135:

Custom CF Lipo mount system, designed for 8S Lipo each:


Hatch Lock: 6x M4 Countersunk Hex-Screws, as for sure stainless-steel:


Attached hardware kit with drives, rudder & hydraulic-steering:

What is a
'Not-Aus" system?

[Himalaya]

The 2.4GHz antenna sockets are interesting. Are they coaxial RF connectors? Can we see how it would look like with the atennas attached? Thanks.

Hello,

@ Larry: Its basically a safety function. With a connector bridge you can disconnect the RX battery from the receiver. As for Brushless controllers without BEC this 100% unsures that the motor can't run. Quite important when you want to rescue the boat or touch the prop without risk. For controllers with BEC you have to make the bridge over the red wire. Its nearly a standard here and a "must have" on most meetings. Hope this answers your question.

@ Himalaya: Well its not that a "big deal". Basically its a very nice aluminium water outlet. I drill it up to 3.2mm and then I can fit a plastic tube in it. Here a picture of the finished solution on the HPR06 Austrian Build:


For the rest: Thanks for the interest to the review. I like comments and I'll als try to answer questions if you'd like to know how or why I do something.

Wish you a nice evening,
Manuel

The pic makes very good sense. Thanks Manuel. But why two sockets? going to use stick style TX + aircraft RX that has dual antenna diversity function ?

[Himalaya]

Sorry for my stupid question, Manuel, I missed your thread "HPR06 Austrian build" . There I am clear now they are sockets of the emergency circuit breaker.

Hi Guys,

just wanted to keep you informed whats going on here. The HPR06 from the "Austrian build" review is still at the airbrusher but now I got pictures from the HPR C5009 "Mystic" which I presented above. I sent it to a very good friend, he is a professional concerning decals. Sent him a few pictures of the design and here is what he came up with:









These are all decals, no airbrush work. Isn't she a beauty? At the moment I'm working on another HPR C5009 Mystic as well as on the two HPR 135's hulls from the very first picture in this thread.

Best regards,
Manuel

[DV8ion]

I just fell out of my chair...... Those are some amazing looking builds. Great job

[Mel279]

I love blue!!!!!!

[Himalaya]

Awesome looking! So you want the boat have a speed as a Boeing?

The curved area looks smoothly covered. Are those special flexible decals or you heat them when applying?
