HPR Mania - Version 2011

[ManuelW]

Hello Guys,

here some pictures showing some work for spring at my home, taken last Saturday. I hope you like it.






From left to right (first picture):
-HPR06: CFK hull which I'm building (HPR06 Austrian build, here on OSE)
-HPR06 "Repsol": My own HPR06 (carbon/cevlar), already presented here on OSE (snowmobile )
-HPR Mystic C5009: carbon/cevlar bulletproof which I'm building
-HPR06: carbon bullet proof hull from a friend of mine
-HPR 135: "tank"-version, my own hull and project for 2011
-HPR 135: carbon hull (reinforced seam) which I'm building

If interested, I might also present my own HPR135 project here on OSE, Gerwin Brommer called the hull the "Fort Knox"-Version. But as seen above, quite a lot to build in the next weeks...

And very big thanks to Hanspeter for building such amazing hulls, I love to work for you.

Have a good evening,
Manuel

WoW Manuel I think you will be quite busy this spring.
Very impressive fleet.
One day I would like to own a HPR 135.

Hello Anbjorn,

well only two of the boats are really mine. But I'll be able to test drive the HPR06 CFK on the far left as well as the HPR135 on the far right. But yes, these will keep me quite busy.

The HPR C5009 Mystic is just amazing, I like it so much - I think I'll have problems to give it back to its owner.

Best regards,
Manuel

Very cool Manuel! What sort of labor rate do you charge for these builds?

[Rumdog]

Why was this thread moved? Looks like there will be building going on to me..

[Diegoboy]

Talking about building isn't documenting a build. He can feel free to start a new thread when he's ready to document the build.

[LarrysDrifter]

Amazing bunch of Cats.Cant wait to watch the builds.

hi manuel

on word CRAZY

[rchuntlsl]

That mystic looks awesome. I know a guy that races a real 50' mystic. The NautiMarine boat. Where is the best place to get one of those hulls? He might want one for himself.

Hello Guys,

so yesterday I already finished the HPR C5009 Mystic, but first for the replies:

@ JohnF: Well, I have no fixed "labour rate" for such a build. As it is all custom work I think it all depends from what the owner wants to have and if I'm interested in the build as well. I think my work is not bad either but everybody can watch the pictures below. So if somebody is interested, he can contact me and then we'll see...

@ Haempu: You are crazy as well. Can't wait to see you again as well as the new HPR Mono.

@ rchuntlsl: Here you'll find all the information you need as well as many pictures and videos: http://www.hpr-powerboats.ch/

And here the pictures of the HPR C5009 Mystic, which some of you probably have been already wating for. The boat is for Peter G. from Austria, building time was around 4 days. For any questions feel free to ask.

Wish you a nice evening here from Austria,
Manuel

[rchuntlsl]

Wow, very nice work.

[johnf]

Manuel, very nice work. I may get with you on building mine. I still need to PM you back about those battery plates and the inner drive supports. I haven't forgotten, I've just had a ton going on.

[tiqueman]

Manuel, what is it you are using for the screw down hatch locks?

[ManuelW]

Hello Guys,

@ tiqueman: The dictionary tells me that in english they are called knurled nuts
Here a picture: http://www.system-joerger.de/shop/im...utter%20M5.jpg

And today I finished the next one. Its the far left one, the HPR06 from the thread "HPR06 - Austrian build". This cat is also not mine, its a custom build for Wolfgang T. from Munich. As mentioned in the thread I build it completely RTR and test driven including props and transmitter. Today was also the first test run, but as the water was extremely choppy I couldn't really try. Hopefully I can test again next week-end and make a nice video as well before the boat goes away for the paint job. The building review will be also following within the next days.

But here some pictures of the result, I hope Wolfgang will be satiesfied with my work:

Wish you a nice day,
Manuel

[H2OCamel]

[tiqueman]

Very nice Manuel. Thank you for the info on the hold downs.

Hello Guys,

two pictures of the "fully loaded" HPR06:





At the moment I'm working on the HPR135 on the far left, yesterday I epoxied the 7mm thick (!) motor mounts, today will follow the stuffing tube and the servo mount.

Best regards,
Manuel

[arrowskartax9]

Hi Manuel, Any luck contacting Andy Brown?

[ManuelW]

Sadly up to now not, also no reply via email. I'd really want to order quite a bunch of props.

Best regards,
Manuel

Sweet !

[DISAR]

Very nice job Manuel

[ManuelW]

Hello Guys,

here some pictures of my HPR 135 "Fort Knox":





(Fort Knox - this is how Gerwin Brommer named it). Basically its a HPR135 hull. Normally Haempu offers GFK, CFK and carbon/cevlar. On request he makes even reinforced "bullet-proof" hulls. But he says, this hull is even stronger and he calls it the "tank" version (like army tank - probably for the crazy idiots)

And here a few pictures of the HPR135 on the far right, just telephoned with the owner and he seems to be pleased with the first pictures:

[Himalaya]

Very nice job, Manuel. What material is that yellow filling in between your sandwiched motor mount? What motor is it?

[the savy fluxer]

this man is an artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DISAR]

Manuel you have some talent or you had very good theacher! Because you are young, at your age my mind was focused only on studying and girls of course....

what makes the fort knox different from the carbon-kevlar version? what's the weight of hull only? Thanks
