Ron The Jae team should look at jim bobs hatch it look much better

I built that hatch to clear the different motors we want to test.....the plans will be released without a hatch......build whatever you want to build......that will be your problem to solve.....

Looks like you made good use out of a bad sponson... LOL

Much better today! After speaking with Rod,THE JAE EXPERT, I widened the sponsons by 2.5" and just for grins moved the battery forward about 1/2". Thanks for your help Rod.

I'm willing to bet that if there is enough interest in these boats, a inexpensive Vac-U-Formed
cowl / hatch will be made available.

1-1/2" to the sponson width .....set the turnfin about 1/4" deeper and add
5 to 10 degrees more curl.......something I forgot....stiffen the turnfin with a doubler that ends
halfway inbetween the fin attaching points on the sponson and the water line....the fin cannot flex for consistent performance..
That should make the boat set-up virtually bulletproof......

Just for clarification.....lets give credit where credit is due.....
Jim Bob initially came up with the 16" JAE all on his own without any input whatsoever from the JAE team......
It just happened by coincidence that the JAE team and Zippkits were working on some mini JAE FE boats at the same time.....
After seeing Jim Bobs initial video,I contacted him to offer some set-up advise.
I saw he was experiencing some handling problems that the JAE team initially faced and subsequently resolved.......
Jim Bob reduced the JAE plans and built the 16" mini-boat......I knew from experience that a 100% translation of the reduced nitro plans was not the ultimate design for a bullet proof handling FE mini JAE boat.....
The plans that we are developing now will be specifically designed for FE application....areas like weight distribution,ride surfaces,turnfins and flotation.These areas will be specifically addressed and tested and will be included in the new mini JAE plans.....
Jim Bob has done a great job.......
I can just imagine seeing 25 of these boats,going 40+ mph,showing up at a race to run on a course with 150 foot straightaways ......talk about fun.....

Anyone with a price in mind for hull and hardware?
looks like a very fun way to spend little money!!
I have several 3s 2200mah packs for my 3D plane that I can use in this little rocket
someone start a new class

Just like all other JAE designs,the plans for the mini FE boat will be free.....
The JAE design team is trying to build the prototype.....to include .....wood and building materials for the boat,motor,esc,all running hardware,battery,battery charger and radio together for under $200.00.........
I have all the gear together for a 40+ mph boat prototype and that $200.00 ceiling looks very doable.....
We will have to test the boat and make sure everything works out for that $200.00 figure.....Comment
