Looks like the design has "borrowed" heavily from the Brian Blazer Whiplash...

Looks pretty nice. Are these going to be generally available??

Not in the shop. Is made only on request. The aerodynamics are not as well suited for very high speeds. I will try to modify them to be even faster. Currently, I 'm going with a 45 K Prop 122 Km/h.

Looking forward to seeing more...

Klaus I really like your Hardware, well done! Clean and and deffinetly looks plenty strong..

Hello Christopher,

on my boat I make the important components of the hardware itself. Here are some pictures of my HPR 135, but this is sold again.

Klaus, how would one go about ordering one of these manta ray hulls? and what would the price be?

Hello Tommy,

see post #4. Maybe you Jochen (MBP) makes a hull . The hull does not exist in the store . This was a test project.

Hello,

new Video with 132 Km/h. The problem is the same, too much upward trend.

Hello ,

Today I went to the test with the Manta Ray and front wing on the waterfront. Unfortunately, according to a straight line , the spring steel shaft is broken . Nevertheless, already 138 km / h were on the GPS and the hydro was very stable . I'm Optimistic that there is still more .

Very nice Klauss..I like wiredrives but honestly never have too much luck with high speed...good job Gill

Amazing speed from a carbon prop. Is it a Graupner carbon prop?

Thanks Gill,

I hope that there is even more . If possible with video .

@ray schreeuwen, the prop is homemade in chrom-cobalt-molybdän steel. My friend is dentist.

That looks really nice and fast ! :thumbup1:

As a retired dentist I'm also making my own SS props.

Hello ,

was test today . New top speed is now currently at 144 Km / h . Unfortunately, I could very briefly give gas otherwise the Hydro would be flipped . For SAW over 100 meters , it is not suitable .

Klaus
