RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home
Howzit 'Milk Man John'......good to hear from you !......Thanks !...that one is off to New York !
Personally .....I think Steve's boat was fast enough.....BUT...I suppose 'fast' is never fast enough !.....LOL
It will be interesting to see it all together on the water......Just remind him......."You have to 'finish' a race to win it "....its better to finish than be fast !....LOL
Take care ...Boet !
One of the Enigma 'Camber' outboard legs below id for Greg DeanSmith ( Flipper) - he will be joining the F1 Gas class with you guys this season. I also gave hime a CAT of mine which he wants to race with as well.
Have a great 2014 season !
Jay !.......good looking set up.....very neat looking boat.....The Pipe does detract from the beautiful scale leg......I would certainly go HVFE with that leg - covered by a scale cowling......look forward to seeing some 'action footage'....I replied to the PM proposal...
Had an inquiry about the Brass Tube on my Enigma Camber Leg...so I thought I would answer it on the forum for all.
It was about the 'strength' of the tube: I use a 'thick wall' brass tube to create the radius for the flex shaft to run in. To date I have not had a tube being damaged in any way shape or form. ( it is very hardy) I had to make up a serious 'bending tool' to accurately shape the tube to the desired radius - first needing some good heat to anneal the brass - just to bend it.
Have a Gas weekend Guys !
