RE: New plastic gasser
I see ONE thing that I would consider ...
Do I see correctly , are you using metal to metal on the connecting rods to the horns ? ( metal horns ? )
This might cause glitching .
Otherwise , I am just a b*tching because of how nice you made that there !

RE: New plastic gasser
Got a short water vid in today before the throttle cable froze up on me.. [link=http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i28/crispyspa/Kamikaze%20gasser/?action=view¤t=MOV00566.flv]Kamacopy on the water.[/link] I also got some float pics. In the last pic, I closed in the transom with clear box tape, just to see how it would affect it.....

RE: New plastic gasser
I agree the tape made a huge difference -The question I have is this. Does the prop hit the water without having the tape there - while it is standing still ? If not - why change it. If it does- that might be a problem.
Looks great - amazing difference on the low speed turns how it leans into it and turns like a v-hull and the higher speed turns where it is flat and bordering on high siding(catching and flipping).
Anyways, that is one sweet boat you have there. Good luck with it.

RE: New plastic gasser
Hey crispyspa,
man your plastic gasser is one sweet running airboat,runs great on snow and the flat turns on the water are just awesome,
Just a question,you ever thought of making and selling the plastic hulls??can i have one LOL
The look of the hull is so cool the shape the design, you got some great design skills and building talent.

Thank you.
I've never really thought of making them to sell them....and really, the inspiration for this design came from Hooty 301 and his design for [link=http://rcairboats.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=75]Kamakazee[/link] . Really though, how much of a market can there be for a heavyweight plastic Airboat? LOL

RE: New plastic gasser
I`ve been Admiring your Boat also..That Frozen Cable .Hmm... could you possibly,get rid of the cable all together, and mount your Throttle servo, right at the Carb.on a Bracket .Then all you would need, is a short music wire Linkage,no more Sheathed cable...Just an idea....Your in Wisconsin ,Right ? A few Guy`s from that state, come up here a couple times a year to Race Ovals at the CPTC track (Canadian Power Toboggan Championship).That`s another 1 of my Addictions,I mean hobbies( Early Mods.)
I sure hope to see a vid soon, where no one is Running away,with the Camera, from a Rabid ,Evil Airboat ..LOL

RE: New plastic gasser
Hi crispyspa,
are you kidding,how many people can build a hull that big or in fact have the space,LOL, i could easily make the roll cage and mount the motor and rudders but wouldnt have the space for making the hull, and that design goes great on or off water,plus we cant get the materials in the UK.[&o]
next time you take it out or to an airboat meet ask how many people watching would like the hull.
Big gas airboats are just nuts and look so much fun,heheheheh.

RE: New plastic gasser
that is one bullet proof airboat. is it still treating you well?
standing on the roll cage! awesome building techniques.
turning right with power on is fighting the natural torque of the motor. thats why it wont turn right as well.
