      So I need to fix that when I back from vacation.



      What ICE esc is that?

        Not ice. It’s Phoenix edge 200a. It heli esc. I’m not really liking it. Probably will be going to Castle X8 esc.

          So Mike W fixed and finished painting it for me. Hopefully Pete approves.
          I swear Pete, I will one day pull the trigger and buy P Ltd and Q BP from you!

              The P-Sport is moving along nicely. The deck is on. Installing the turn fin. I ordered the hardware last night.
              See the date of this post^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.

              This is when I funked out and lost touch with the racing community. I'm doing the reading now to get back up to speed with you guys, so to say...

              I'm looking forward to building a new P-Sport this winter. Thanks Pete, Terry, Don. All you guys are awesome and have been a great help getting me out of a near 3 year funk out. Larry and Steve Reesor are always a great asset as well, many thanks.

              What is not race worthy is going to be sold shortly. Time to purge and update with just 3 or 4 boats. Cheers.

                    What are the largest packs you can put into the full P sport size hull? Max dimensions?

                      Hi Ray, I moved my motor forward about 4" from the original motor motor mount to make room for sticks 13" x 1 1/2 "x 3/4". or bricks if need be.

                        I figured out the battery sizing on page 4. Now, the pictures in the post I quote show you keep sharp edges on the hull. I can understand sharp edges on the bottom but on the top, can the edges be rounded slightly to help keep paint stuck?

                        I'm guessing that is 2 part Klass Kote primer? TIA.

                          Interesting Jay, not sure I want to do that without some visual aids.

                            Were those custom? Sounds almost like you are using wire drive, or you could.

                                Titanium Turn Fins

                                I know that people are having problems bending the Stainless Turn Fins too easily in a flip or spin out. Me included.
                                Also Pete said that people are reducing the bend in the Stainless Turn Fins.
                                So I order some material$$. Bought a couple of Solid Carbide End Mills$$$, Made a set of Bending Dies. 2" diamiter to get a 1" radius for the hook.$$$$

                                Titanium turn fins for "P" or "Q" Sport Hydro's and Riggers.

                                These fins will fit;
                                "P" limited Sport Hydro's and Riggers
                                "P" Sport Hydro's and Rigger
                                "Q" Sport Hydro's and Rigger

                                Turn fin includes:
                                (1) Turn Fin, no bracket, no screws.

                                $50.00 Shipped to Lower 48 East of Mississippi, West of Mississippi add $3.00

                                Bent radius is a little less then a Stainless Turn Fin, seeing that most people including me
                                are reducing the bend on the Stainless fins.

                                The sharpened edge is machined at 7 degrees, making the machined edge 3/8" long.

                                These fins will not bend as ease either. It took a 12 ton Hydraulic press to do the hook in the fin. (1" Radius Not a straight bend.)

                                Fins are 0.065" thick Titanium, and lighter and much stronger then the Stainless fins of the same size.

                                Size:
                                3 3/8" Tall
                                2 7/16" Wide
                                3/4" Hook on a 1" Radius bend.
