Dumas Eagle

[Moonie]

Old Dumas hydro from 1984. I think it will good once it's done. I'm going to do a 8s set up in her and let her eat.

Be careful of the trap/tunnel. It is real rampy and will stuff/pack a lot of air.

I herd a few ppl say these are crappy running hydros. Guess we will have to see.
You know this hull will trap a lot of air under it? If that the case it's not going to go that
Fast Before it flips over. That's not good.

Those hulls were designed over 30 years ago when even nitro power was not that much. As a result they pack a lot of air to keep them on plane. I know that the hydro hulls I've run from the mid-80s had way too much lift for current racing speeds and required modification. If you keep the top speed in the original range - low 50s - it should be okay, but much faster and it may think it's a bird.

The man who I got this hull from said the samething about old hydros but this one is ahead of its time. The brake is not that big on the eagle like other olde hydros and the sponsons look up to date. It alread does mid 70 on a good day. I'll post video soon.

From the looks of that stuffing tube in the second picture, -Your prop is going to run pretty deep.

I predict some transom lift, regardless of prop selection.

It does leave a lot of room for a BIG Dia. Prop

I mite make a small adjustment up on it and use a submarine prop. All my other boats seem to run goog (good) like that. Stay tuned and find out how it works. Speed will not be a problem here guys. Lol

I'm glad to see other boaters make fun of man for useing a sleeve on his stuffing tube. Im bring back a old part of Rc boating history. I don't think it really that funny and think is kool. Make all the jokes you need to and I'll keep on showing off all my nice boats I built. I'm going with red gold and black. Use old system Gallagher Kaiser stickers to finnish it off.
