MHZ Mystic M 1140mm build

[nata2run]

OK!! I have attached some pictures of the rudder setup. As always I spend a long time looking for the logic. I went down to the local sports fishing shop and got some 0.8mm stainless steel, "black plastic coated wire" (should be good for 120lbs) and some leader sleves to match, pulled it tight around a ball nipple and clamped together, used some heat shrink to cover the join. It may not look the best, but I sure cant pull it apart. Then just ran the wire into the servo through a piece of antenna tube. (watch out for water on this part!!)

Oh, had to drill the nipple out to 3mm to fit the MHZ rudder system. Also cut the MHZ supplied ball link down. (you'll see the dummy hydrolic ends sitting closer to the rudder)

Here are the battery mounts, I will install them after a few runs. Not knowing COG I dont want to take any chances. I will use some tape velcro on the plate itself and maybe replace the middle screws with counter sunk, so I dont damage the batteries.

I have this thing about water and electrics, dont go well together! so I water proof everything. I'm using liquid electrical tape to water proof the ESC's and also the hull "where I drill". The reason I use it in the hull is because its thin (compared to Silicone) and also because I can remove it completly if I need to take something apart. here is a picture of the drivers waterproofed.

The black on the stuffing tube is Automotive Paint, I thought it looks better than bras :) also installed the cooling lines from pick-ups to motor to ESC's I find that the motors get way more hot than my ESC's so they get the first cooling.

Will post about the ESC's how to waterproof a bit later I'm also doing a set of cap banks for the esc's. I have ordered a set of 450/3 L/R props for this build hope its not overkill but I'll try 4s first to be safe. Still some work to do but just thinking ahead.

Very nice work so far! The red screws and washers look very nice with the carbon fiber

Thanks trying to get her looking good

[nata2run]

Happy New Year to you all!!! If you are there yet? In Australia it comes around sooner than others. But hope you had a good one anyway.
Just thought I would sneak in a picture of the almost complete hull. If I had any props I could do a test run grrrr. I also managed to put together a cap bank. Not too sure about those but I use some 1000uf 35V, 3 for each side???

Holy,that's gotta be a record around here.Good work,Quick too.

[nata2run]

Don't know about record time just wanted it done over the holidays. I did cut out all the
Mounts a week in advance so just had to make all holes and glue together. I have to admit that it has been a fun project and can't wait to get her in the water. Will keep you guys posted.

[H2OCamel]

Very nice work indeed! What do you use to remove the liquid tape?

[nata2run]

Hi Camel, and thank you. You can just pull off the liquid tape, not "just" but it will come off by pealing it.

Gidday, Nice work with the build.
I have a Mystic 44 Carbon Kevlar cat done up as Aquamania running twin Castle 1717 motors, twin seaking 180amp esc, Hyperion Lipos 6s and spinning Octura X447 3 Blade counter rotating props sharpened and balanced by Andy Brown.
Have fun with your boat they are awesome.
Chris.

[nata2run]

Hi Chris,
thanks for the comment.. what sort of speed are you getting?

[DINO7]

hi nata2run..with octuras 445 2blade and 5S about 120km..

[nata2run]

Sweet Dino, hope to push it abit harder with 447/2 and 450/3 props.

[nata2run]

Hmm capbank didnt work out as planed, too big a firework connecting the 6s. will take apart and work on connecting caps after powering the ESC's... come on props!! weather is just right

[nata2run]

I'm planing to do some paint work in the next couple of days, what filler should I use on the join that runs through the hull?? Any ideas out there?

Thanks

[srislash]

I use automotive glazing putty.Should be able to get a tube of it.

[nata2run]

Thanks! Will look into that one.

[nata2run]

Ok, I know I said she done but tonight I got the last parts done before testing and sorted out the waterlines. Got everything greased up, and hooked up some power turning the 450/3 props as well WOW that is loud!!! plus blowing some air!! on 4s 2p 5000mah plan is to use 6s 2p Hope for good weather on the weekend and will post a vid!! will GPS for sure.

[bruiser77]

Finally!!!! Lol! Looks really good! Like those red hose clamps, definitely get video for us. Any idea on the paint scheme? Good luck with the first run! Bruiser

[nata2run]

Well thanks Bruiser LOL not doing too bad yourself (when not filing, sanding and so on) anyway the plan is to get her silver metallic first. I'm working on this "miss machine" scheme but we'll see, for now I worry about not having to get her up from the bottom of the lake when I do the run LOL...

[nata2run]

Ok Guys,
I know this is not what you want to see, but you can listen to the twins spinning :) still plan to get her in the lake on the weekend.

NICE JOB

[nata2run]

Thanks Chud!

[nata2run]

Damn! Got her in the tub and some water sneaking in. Amazing what a little screw hole can do. Also used long guide tubes from the rudder pull wires almost all the way up to the servo and greased the wires inside, as the wires are submerged when not moving. I can just smell all the problems. But batts are charged ready for maiden.
