    x645 de tounged. I got better speed with m445 over x645, pretty sure the tounge is slowing it down up top.

              i was getting 47 on sunday when i gps'd mine and i have the same electronics and prop. Front of batteries set even with the back of the motor, couldn't tell you how the strut is set, but it was more positive then it would be in a race. couple blow overs that day, wind didn't help though.

                Got some time to work on it again finally. I rejoined the hull where it split from front to back. Laid up an extra layer of fiberglass inside to add more strength. Fixed the busted out gelcoat on the outside the hull & cracks. Now it been primed and ready to paint.




                Going to paint it all bright white. Then leave the bottom white and spray the top fluorescent neon yellow. Put my decals on and clear the whole thing.

                    They do the job. But not near the flow I thought it would have.

                            I haven't replaced mine yet. I've been out of my FE hobby for a while. Just now having a little bit of time to pick back up.

                            Got my miss geico decals on order. Hope to get them soon.

                              After all this work. The stupid clear coat is making parts of the canopy slightly milky and lighter! Oh the disapointment! Still look ok tho.
