HPR C5008 build. "Valkyrie"

[vvviivvv]

Hello all,

I thought I'd share my 'dream' build with you all,

it's being built with plenty of help from Manuel Wenny so we all know it's going to be a high quality boat..

So far the specs

Hpr 2.0 hull, 4 layers with seam reinforcement
hardware is WD200, drives are longer than usual.
Savox black edition servo
Schulze 40.160 old
Lehner 3060 / 6
SLS QN 65C
Abc 2515 cut to 62mm & Octura X465 prepped by Andy B

I will do my best to add pics and keep it updated as the build progresses.

The goal is to break 100mph comfortably without stressing the equipment.

[vvviivvv]

power plant..

& hull, alongside a hpr115 & my Mhz skater

[vvviivvv]

drives, collets and rudder

one set of collets are for my 115.

Some updates

Cool honeycomb material on the motor mounts. Is the filler material copper?

[vvviivvv]

I believe the correct term is "Nomex Aramid Honeycomb"

it's only for the motor mounts, the motors will also have the classic Lehner end supports, probably not needed with these motor mounts but better safe than sorry.

[fweasel]

3060's are heavy motors. I wouldn't run them without the rear mounts.

[vvviivvv]

yup, using them.. was just stating the kevlar fill on them motor mounts is rock solid.

[autolex]

beautiful work! how are the epoxy lines kept so tidy?

Hey Liam, gorgeous build!
Did you design and cut your own carbon?
If, would you have drawings for the hpr 115 you might share? Specifically looking for the motor mounts.
Thanks,
Jesse

Hi Jesse,

Manuel wenny is the one who sorted all the carbon

I believe he has his own mounts for pretty much every hpr and a few other hulls (got
My exocet mounts from him)

I can ask, I don’t think they are for sharing amongst the general public but I’m sure he can supply you a custom set…

Jesse, MBP sells a set for the C5009, not sure if it's the same pattern for the older 115 hull. They were very similar on the exterior, so possibly.

[vvviivvv]

and she's complete. just hope the painter can get the colour right and the exterior matches the interior.

Manuel puts incredible detail into his builds. Looks amazing.

[ManuelW]

Thanks for the Kudos, I am really happy how the project came out, even when yet still minus the setup.
As for the question, I should have a set of HPR115 motor mounts left with the same sandwhich material as used for this C5008 project.

regards,
Manuel

And with Manuel's help yet again

Valkyrie went for her shake down run

started small worked up a little and got a GPS run of 98.6mph with X465 cut to 62mm.

Propped up for a final run just to break the 100 mark and... Gps didn't log anything Hopefully next week will get some additional runs in and then off to paint shop in June.

Beautiful work, and runs well.

[Moonie]

Vary nice!!

[vvviivvv]

Never added a photo of the interior but...



She's disassembled for paint currently

[vvviivvv]

Away for paint

[Gary]

Beautiful workmanship !!!

[vvviivvv]

and painted.

[vvviivvv]

My ongoing efforts to get a fast run in before flying back to work until January aren't going quite to plan

As above, shakedown after paint was very wet..... she ran good but struggled to re tape the hatch so called it a day after 2 quick passes

Now with decals, tried to get a run in but being a Lake in Northern England in November, the wind picked up and... no chance..

Got a few quick pics




Did get a screen grab from a short video...

[vvviivvv]

Well managed to squeeze a run in, wasn't ideal conditions rather windy but... managed the big 100mph she runs super nice.... now maybe 110? temps came back low considering it was a full run.







Also ran my skater first, she's a big heavy brute so used her to gauge the conditions

Unfortunately I was alone so video isn't the best...

[Capt'n Crash]

Incredible piece of work!!! You should be very proud. That is definitely taking FE boating to the next level.

[vvviivvv]

Found a slightly better lake to use, unfortunately lost my go pro (2 month old hero 11) off the top of the Skater (it was in a go pro waterproof housing I watched it float by me while rescuing the overturned skater but never to be seen again... guess the suction mount was too much weight)

Changed to a shorter more "saw" profiled rudder and have 3 new sets of props to experiment with.

Also added a "HPR" decal because... why not?



Sorry for the wind noise

[vvviivvv]

Some pics from a grey, misty day, im down in the florida sun / caribbean for 10 weeks so it was my last chance to run her for a while

im 6ft 4" for comparison
