Little Twin G

are you going to repaint her or try to keep her original?? if so i have painted my turbine hatch and have a pritty close match to the original paint color if you need the info let me no..

I'm going to try to keep it stock colour for now Jerry.Good to know you found something close,I may redo it in stock form.Quite a few hairline spots in this one.

[HYDROJERRY]

The color match ant perfect but it looks pritty close, thought it would help when blueprinting the sponsons and for touchup (on mine) but can let everyone else no too..

[srislash]

If I end up in any trouble Jerry I may take you up on that colour.

Well I finally got the carbon in and all the mounts,doublers in. Sorry it is not the best I've done.I wrapped right around the inside of the hull right up to the lid.I found this hull thin especially once I cleaned up the glues and such inside



It was alot of CF cloth to fold and unfold in this small hull.



And I also had this arrive at the LHS today

Put some carbon inside that too.....

Put some carbon inside that too.....

Yup,I've been through this one before.I couldn't find one anywhere when I got my first MG. Right "tiq"...They actually put foam in the hatch now too.Might have to add som though with the weight of the CF.

[HYDROJERRY]

What your not going to use the one that Mardon made??? Also i gessed these were thin hulls do to the factory wate and how ive seen everyones split after a flip,,, that cf will keep her together for sure, good job bro!!!

[srislash]

So the canopy has CF on the windshield



Then another piece of foam to make up for the added weight and to smooth the reinforcing CF out



Mmm, on to stuffing tubes and servo mount next

Thanks guys.Should have the ESC's Sunday.

I got a little dilemma,The tube size that fits into the stinger from the hull is metric.My original Geico tube is a perfect fit.



BUT...I have adjustment concerns.If it is a tight fit it won't really adjust with the tube epoxied in.



The 3/16 tube is loose inside of the metric tube



I could use a 7/32 tube thru the hull and into the stinger but it would be loose(somewhat like the 3/16 in the metric)and my water up the flex concerns are raised once again.
We all know that some of these situations drive water up there when the boat is underway. Anybody have any ideas for me.

I havent stumbled across this thread....................this is very nice!! I'm plugged in.

Little update here.I got the motors mounted and shimmed(mounts weren't quite right),and the stingers shimmed as well. This was needed as the transoms on this hull were not exactly square. I also got my ESC's

Nice! Can't wait to see it run Shawn! Remember to use floatation and tape this time!
