Yes we'll have to get together. I still have to pick up a speed control and battery packs, install the readio and ballast it. Hopefully soon. I have been overhauling my Byron Corsair for spring flying.
Later,
Fred

I will be building it but would like to power by Jet or Z 'just because'.

It was a pleasure meeting you and Wally. I got a kick out of seeing your lobster boat run. I have to get going and get mine seaworthy. Thanks for the comment on my boat. Hopefully we can get together again soon.
Thanks,

I have two 7.2 1500 ma packs running in series. Can feel the air blowing at full throttle on the bench. I think it will go well, I'm using the bronze prop you sent me. Will you be in Warwick RI soon?

Fred

I ran my lobster boat the other day and it ran awesome! Not extremely fast but very scale looking. Balance seems to be right on.

Which EVX ESC are you using? I have a couple of different ones that are 14.4V but I can't read the writing in the picture.

Thanks!

Sorry it took so long for the reply, my computer was down. I used Envirotex Lite Epoxy thinned 100 %. Purchased at Michaels Art Supply Store. Hope this helps and good luck with your build.
Thanks,

Greetings, I have been reading this forum and have found this to be the best of any when it comes to assisting others thinking about building a R/C boat. I am new to this hobby, as I built a 60" cargo ship many years ago and gave it away after 80% completion because we were moving. I am going to purchase the "Midwest Lobster Boat" and restart my boat building fun.

I would like to ask for your guidance as to what tools, equipment that I should purchase in order to do the proper job, i.e., Work Top Mat, Ship builders X=acto Tool Kit, stick pins(type), etc. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.........

Don
