The drivers appearance is flawless. From the photos, it appears even the red stripe on the sleeve cuffs is color keyed to match the paint scheme colors. The detailed work with the uniform and safety equipment is outstanding!! My sincere compliments to the seamstress and the builder.

Have nearly finished the radio install, I went with firm braided cable on the throttle and did remove the return spring on the carb and used 4/40 rod with a carbon sleeve on the rudder.
next job is to make the radio box lid remove able but watertight.

Paint pretty much done, I've been busy but got this done over the last few months.
Paint nearly done, really happy with the result from a lot of frustration and effort. Ready to start on the fit out of running gear.

Hi all, i just about to fit the turn fin and bracket, a couple of questions for those in the know.
When fitting the mounting bracket to the sponson do I set it up at dead square on the verticle plane and adjust any trimming with the slotted hole in the top of the bracket or is there a preferred angle to bolt it to the trailing edge of the sponson? I have glued a 8mm thick plate alloy mount on the inside of the sponsons trailing edge during construction and will drill and tap the 2 x 5mm holes into it through the back of the sponson, I want to get this spot on as you don't get a second chance. Thanks in advance.

Mount the bracket 5/16 up from the bottom of the sponson and perpendicular to it, The outside edge of the mount should be lined up with the outside edge of the sponson pad.
Start with the fin level. Up down and left right can be adjusted as needed after running. You want to be able to rotate the bottom of the fin towards the boat if needed.

Beautiful boat! Outstanding quality and workmanship !I've followed this project from concept to completion, and it's been worth the wait! I hope you will not mind one more suggestion. Food for thought; My concern is potential throttle control (idle speed) failure possibility. My suggestion is to re-install the carburetor throttle return spring. (Very little torque is required to overcome its function) In the event of a failure of any of multiple elements that control the throttle, the carb return spring is the only thing remaining to shut down the engine. Failsafe systems work very well, but only if everything mechanical, and electrical is intact. Best of luck with this beautiful boat. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Just wondering if anyone on here knows where I can get external Spring coils for supporting the water cooling fees tubes from the rudder to the transom, I have seen them somewhere but can't recall where. I think they look pretty good and add shape and support to the pickup lines.
thanks in advance.

For those that have built and drive these hulls I'm setting up the radio gear and wonder what settings work well or best on the rudder, like in end point adjustment, speed of servo and expo.
thanks.
thanks.
