Default RE: 1/2A Size Boat Club

Did some work on an old FE electric outrigger to convert to wet power. Some pictures of what I use to connect .098" Octura collet to a 1/8"/5-40 Cox shaft,just a cut 5-40 screw to fit into the 1/8" bore of the collet holder(I file a flat were the set screw is so it doesn't pull out). For this one I will use a reedy fitted with TD .051 piston&sleeve (a good combo) and a balloon tank since the hull is narrow. Will start soon on a semi scale hydroplane and "Wild thing" style mono for the two other marine TD I have. That video from Pond Skipper really got my interest in 1/2A running again
