hey mate yeah got a 1/4 scale jet boat im working on at the moment with a 3 stage jet unit going to run a blata clone engine will be starting a build on the fourm when i get some

RE: Another Falcon build
 

dude, awsome
I've always been a fan of jet drives, the ability to travel at a high rate of speed in relatively shallow water, or go upstream through the rapids is just awsome.
Isn't there a huge race circuit swash drives down under? I'll be checking out your build for sure.:D

RE: Another Falcon build
 

not sure about racing maybe in oz ...... and swash drive arnt making there jet drive any more so not realy sure ... im flat out at work at the moment will get on to it when things slow down a bit ...

this what you mean?

RE: Another Falcon build
 

i think he was talking about RC but i could be wrong [&o]

RE: Another Falcon build
 

no RC jet races that I know of. I could be wrong though. Mike might know.

RE: Another Falcon build
 

Oh no, I was talking full size, those guys are nuts[X(] Saw them on speed network one day, about blew my mind.

RE: Another Falcon build
 

they're fun to watch, that's for sure. when they make a wrong turn & roll up the bank it can get exciting. they run in very shallow water too.

RE: Another Falcon build
 

SORRY fot taking over your fourm but you did ask what projects i was doing :D:D[:-]

RE: Another Falcon build
 

it's cool, no appology needed, haven't chatted with you in a while and just wondering what you,ve been up to.

RE: Another Falcon build

RE: Another Falcon build

hey like what you are doing with the falcon cat.. just picked 1 up and was planning to swap out a aqua craft V24 fuji imvac motor . I'm unable to put the canopy on with out it hitting the top of the motor. curious if have fitted a motor yet or anyone else reading this? what motor mounts work . or are you going big nitro

RE: Another Falcon build
 

As of right now I'm planning on a Whh m5 that I was using in one of my other woody builds with a 105 deg header, looks like it'll fit I still need to pick up the exaust and collet so I can pull the clutch of it before I put my stuffing tube in. From what I under stand don't waste your time with the fuji unless it's all you have or can afford even a stock zen should push this hull in 50's. My advice is keep reading all of the build threads and see what other people do aswell. Ron Olson has a few pics of his in one of the other threads aswell as a few other guys. I do like your thinking of a big nitro it would be easier to fit and man talk about boot and scoot.

RE: Another Falcon build
 

THANK YOU...YES I WILL SPEND SOME TIME READING THE THREADS.. ARE YOU IN MICHIGAN? I KNOW SOMEONE IS... I WILL GO THE GAS ROUTE.. MY FRIEND SUGGESTED DUAL NITRO. WITH STINGERS. MAYBE NEXT BUILD.. FOR THE PRICE OF THAT HULL THAT WILL BE EASY...I'LL HAVE TO PUT THE FUJI IN MY OLD V HULL FOR MY SON.. WILL KEEP WATCHING THE THREADS. I NEED TO LEARN WHERE TO PUT THE HOLE HOW FIGURE THAT OUT ETC.. BEST WAY TO SEAL THE HULL. I USED TO ONLY LOVE THE LAND VEHICLES.... NOT ANY MORE..

Well it's been awhile sence I've work on my pickle,[X(] come on get your mind out of the gutter. I had some time today so I got my rudder,strut, and cowl latches done. The engine, radio box and fuel tanks are just sitting there for now still need to find my center of gravity
