Stealthcat is the obvious name for it isn't it?

I didn't want to use the name Phil was already using for his sport but I suppose if I made it one word.

Pete, I'll bring it Thursday in what ever degree of completion it's in.

Cool. I'd like to check it out.

[T.S.Davis]

It ain't fer everyone but at least I can stop cutting wood and move on to finish work. Lots and lots of sanding and filling to do.

I love the smell of West systems in the morning.

You'd make Steve Ressor and Ed Hughey proud. It really pops when you put the epoxy on it.

So, where are the DXF files? We have ways of making you Talk....

[ray schrauwen]

I'd call it Stealth-E-Cat.

[Shooter]

Sweet!

Guess I shouldn't have tried to force a cure. The epoxy blistered. Dough! Takes two coats anyway and I didn't have any special clear on the shelf.

Ray, anybody heard from Steve? He's one of those guys that the hobby lesser without. I really enjoyed racing with him.

[T.S.Davis]

My wife loves the smell of West systems 2 days in a row.

This is what Remy's small sprint should have looked like.

1. I was going to say something about it being close to the fireplace but...

2. I say hi to Steve on Facebook from time to time. He is very happy in upper management, playing golf with the new wife and enjoying his grand kids that Neil and Matt have fathered. I remember Doby saying after he stole Steve's Executone for $300 RTR that his eyes just weren't up to it anymore and he told me himself that he is really enjoying Golf with the new lady.
You don't have to have great eyesight to play golf, just a good swing and point him in the right direction.

I should know better with heat and epoxy. It can work but not like that. It's already cleaned up on top for the next coat. I'll get some clear today maybe.

300!!!! You can't buy the materials for that much.

Steve's depth perception had to have gone right in thew crapper.

I have to go to the optopoptogolisist's's tomorrow. Hate driving blind. Need new glasses and shades. Hoping for a hot deal from my sexy glasses connection (da wifff). Hopefully before Phoenix. Off on a tangent but screw it, it's my thread. Thinking about getting some of these in RX. http://www.outlaweyewear.com/oueyin1moand.html

Steve was the guy who dragged me into FE racing...it was sad to see him basically giving everything away (300 for a RTR 1/8th!!!!!! Would have been insulting to him not to take it). We did lose something when he had to give up the hobby.

[T.S.Davis]

Yeah, he just gave us a spec rigger at the 09 Nats. Boat is still running too. He's a good guy and a superior craftsman.

[ray schrauwen]

Yep, he gave me some sweet deals and free stuff too, miss him. BTW, I need Bi-Focals really bad. Call me Meester Squint.

[T.S.Davis]

Thought I would share....

I boxed this up to go to Phoenix. It's RTR less batteries. With packaging and a cardboard box etc. it's still only 5.8 pounds. Seemed heavier to me. So maybe 4.5 pounds race weight? IDK

[Shooter]

How did you finish that so fast?? WOW!

[T.S.Davis]

Haha. I built 2 mono and that losi buggy at the same time.
