Whiplash 40 FE Conversions??

[ray schrauwen]

Guys, if you race in IMPBA you cannot run a P-class sport boat in the Q class, it will be too short. Not a problem in NAMBA.

Minimum hull size....

So what is the rule for P?

Is this another NAMBA IMPBA dance? Please say no.

For years we dance to NAMBA and length rules and now all of a sudden another change. Oh vey! lol....

I wonder if the fuel guys read this and laugh or are they just as bad?

Thanks for the pics, guys. I'm going to go ahead and build and modify my Whip 40 kit and see how it goes.

If a hack like me can make a Whip 40 dance on the water then your skills should make it a top contender.

It's a nice hull.

NOPE... The Minimum hull lengths were THEIR idea...

Had to be 35". What a drag.

Easy to cure with a stick off the floor taped to the bow? Or do you have to glue it on for it to be a "permanent" part of the hull?

Fortunately NAMBA FE didn't follow the nitro guys on minimum lengths. The IMPBA minimum length for P sport is >27", Q sport is >34".

A stick taped on? Certainly doesn't meet the spirit of the class, would be up to the CD to police.

...The Min. for FE "Q" Sport is 34"....

Actually it is >34" according to the IMPBA rules. Splitting hairs yes, but I'd hate to see anyone be disqualified on a technicality.

Good. Thanks. I'll experiment with the hull then.

Here are a few Whip 40's running Q Sport.... not sure what Terry and Ken are talking about in the beginning. Something about butter.

hahaha I forgot about that. At the 1:25 mark my Whip goes right to the bottom of the pond and stays there for the remainder of that round of racing.
