IMG_7981.jpg This looks like a good place to start. How can I screw this up? Fits perfect in those little dotted lines. -

IMG_8076 (1).jpg IMG_8077 (1).jpg IMG_8254.jpg Soo clean...except where I touched it, with my gluey fingers. Yes yes, the motor will go here and the batteries will go there, it will be wonderful. More dotted lines.Comment

IMG_8251.jpg It was all going so well, and then a beavis and butthead moment...ummm..uh..huh-huh-huh..what the hell does this mean?Comment

How are you going to install and remove batteries once the motor in installed?Comment

IMG_9054.jpg Just to clarify and qualify anything you see and read from me here; I have no idea what I'm doing...but to your question, I am removing a portion of the frame, to gain access. And I will put back what I cut out, a bit further back, for strength.Comment

Here's a couple pics from the ML Elam I did a short while back. The packs were forward of the motor/ESC with just enough room to lift them in and out. Hope this helps....- IMPBA Hall of Fame -

Wow! That is a real nice job on that Elam. Did that kit have cockpit inside frames, that dipped down for, I am assuming, the rear sponson outline? like this? IMG_9232.jpgComment

Don, thank you for that. I am struggling with those rear sponsons, especially the left side (on the 1/8th scale) because the frames on the 172 extreme kit do not allow me to make the rear sponson to scale, or make them look like the real ones anywayrear sponson1.jpg. The real ones turn out and up and are kind of 1/4 torpedo shaped, while yours, and the way I'm forced to do mine, with the frames the way they are, is to turn in and up. And then they are to long to make it look like the real ones. Ugh and I am confused by just trying to describe it. lol. I wish I understand the intention from ML.Comment

There is a bit of detail in post #23 & post #33 on how I did mine in this build thread, if it is of any help. Pretty much the same as Don I think.

785boats, if that truly is your real name,(lol just kidding) Thank you for the example, I am not there yet, but I think you have inspired me to use that cockpit you used for mine (we'll see). But back to these tricky rear sponsons: hope you don't mind, I stole a picture of your rear pads:rearspon1.4.jpg to use for an example of a question I have, so the boat will turn right, meaning the transom will slide left, did you install a fairing on your left pad to keep the rear from "tripping" in the turns, and how did it turn out?Comment

He!He! No. The real name is Paul.
I left the ride surfaces flat.
If you go to post #9 & watch the video of them flipping over the boat, you will see that they are flat. Just pause the video at various stages.
I know it is a different boat but they are basicaly the same hull. Just without the big holes in the main tub.
The boat isn't finished yet, so it is untested.
Cheers.See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

rearspons.jpg Hey Paul, this is the best picture I could find so far, not a great one, of the slide side of the rear sponsons. As you can see it's seems to be a two piece fairing so the rear sponson does not "trip" in the turn. The other side is a one piece fairing and is flat.Comment
