Whiplash 20 FE, refinishing

[6S HYDRO]

Hey all,
my last posts here were back in 2011-12, got myself married and had a kiddo... anyhow am now breaking all my gear back out and getting ready for the 2018 race season over here in Scottsdale AZ.

First project.

Whiplash20 LSH spec

found- in a slightly bad state, with hatch missing and some minor race damage from 2011 season

decided since hatch was missing (and I absolutely hate the look of the rear section of the stock whip) i will fab a new streamlined rear section

pictures on the way.

The hatch is made from a piece of 3/16" plywood from hobbylobby, and some foam pieces from there too, dremeled to shape then glassed over top & bottom.

The next thing were gonna do is make this thing actually tape-able.
