Wow, so you just use a box cutter as the FG is curing? That's brilliant and saves a lot of FG dust in the workshop. Do you cut it to the edge of the mold and is there any shrinkage of the hull...

How did you trim it so flush with the mold? I assumed you popped it out and had some sort of jig setup to help get it flush?

I know this is an old thread but who's mystic is this? I'd love to see a build thread or videos of it running. Very impressive paint job. Btw, what size mystic was this?

RE: large scale mono builders?

It's a nice hull and I'm sure it handles well but doesn't have the scale appearance as the German made SV43.

RE: large scale mono builders?

Rick/Tom, if you guys are listening, how about a 50-55" scale looking SV43 like the ones in Germany/Europe? More pics here. I'm sure they'll sell like hotcakes on this side of the pond.

RE: Central RC Hobbies 73 inch Mystic Build

Nice build thread. I'm just curious if this boat done and has hit the waters? Would love to see some more pics and videos of it in action.

RE: 66

Very nice and expensive boat. Is the Rockstar theme vinyl or actual paint? If it's paint, that must have cost a pretty penny to have done.

RE: 66

The SV43 is one of my fav mono hulls. Not many US sellers of these hulls that actually looks like the full scale boat. How much do these cost outside the US?

RE: 48

Nice build. How long did it take you to get to the first pic you posted? Your wood work looks very good and limited glue/bondo so far. What type of wood did you use to skin it and any plans of...

Looking for an old boat plug & mold making thread

I was wondering if one of the veteran members here can help. Years ago, I recalled reading a very detailed thread on RCU about making a catamaran hull/plug and creating a mold from it. It was a...

RE: New 54

Thanks Phil. If you have a chance, can you measure the width? I'd like to see how it compares to the Expresscraft Thunderbolt that's been around forever.

RE: New 54

Nice cat. Can you tell me the width of this boat? Is it 53" or 54" in length? Also, what's the going price? $399 + shipping or can it be had for less?

RE: Expresscraft Thunderbolt/ K600 twin vid

2.5lbs of added weight? Wow, how much does an empty hull weigh and how much does yours with fuel weigh with this added weight?

RE: Central RC 54

What's the width of this hull and what speeds should it handle?

Specs would be helpful. Running videos would be great.

RE: motors for1/8 miss budweiser?

How much does your racing hydro weigh?  If it's an epoxy or build up wood hull it's probably half the weight of the proboat.  The proboat 1/8 hydro hull + hardware only is around the 9-10# mark.  For...

RE: motors for1/8 miss budweiser?

I think your motor and lipo placement would be part of that balancing act but I'll have to agree that the FG is pretty thin in some areas.  I have a gutted hull that I haven't weighed but it's by no...

It's been done and quite successfully. You need a big motor and deep pockets. Here's a build thread over at OSE forums...
