Your MG that started off as a hull

[HYDROJERRY]

Macdon if you decide to do my original suggestion of my Genesis hatch just let me no,, ill try to send it as soon as i can but if your going another rout with Lenny or not do the Genesis hull or hatch at all thats ok too, just say the word i will understand, i dont want you to waste your time i can live with what i got, no problem...

Where you gonna run it?Deep tunnel,small ride pads,flat or angled pads?It would be best and not be stepping on any copyrights.

Nothing definite yet - just researching and checking viability. I will post if I get to start.

No worries Jerry, will definitely let you know. Im just trying to focus on a project first, but if it doesnt pan out - I can do your request :)

To be.........or not to be?

Im trying to attempt something I've never done before, so kindly bear with the following pics. No ride pads constructed yet, but just thought I'd post what I've done in a couple of days.

[macdon]

All cardboard construction for now. Everything will be bondoed and shaped before any canopy could be planned.

I was gunning for just 20% bigger from MG, but somebody was very adamant with 37" hahahahahaha! Some pics to show comparison.

[macdon]

Last 3 pics ............ for now.

Too much fun actually hahahahaha! The first night, I was enjoying the build and completely forgot about the time ................ till I notice in the window that the sky was turning blue from black.......Lol!
Thanks Lenny, I do appreciate it.

WOW Macdom! That is amazing! I could never build a boat out of cardboard and have it look anything like that. Truely a craftsman..... Keep up the good work and try to get some sleep!

And who could that adamant person be? Hahaha! Nice work brother! This is why its kinda hard to reach you lately and all your replies are super late! Hehehe! Keep up the good work!

That looks great Mac,I figured you'd start with the cardboard.Its easiest to work with and if your planning on making more it'll be easy to make a mold.

Hey guys,here a little sumthin sumthin.This is a old plastic race hull of mine.I revived it last spring and promptly blew everything in it.
So now it has a CC 1415 and a Fightercat ESC.Runs real good as it used to so now it is time for cosmetics.I'm looking for opinions on the shape of this canopy as it is bare foam epoxied to the plywood

So I'm thinking a windshield and perhaps some little notches behind to look like ducts.Just looking for opinions whether it is swept enough,too boxy,you know.

Shawn your hull looks like a cigarette offshore boat racer. I think a open type canopy with 2 drivers will look great on it. Scale like too! Macdon made one like it for our SM29 v-hull. The detail of the drivers with helmets are really nice. Go back several pages. He posted a photo showing the 3 different canopies he made for our SM29. One of them is the canopy that I'm talking about.
