Serpents Den

ok...that pond i think you mentioned earlier over by military circle, is a funkey upside down L shaped pond, between the end of Tarbell road and the corner of Ridings dr. and Twin Oaks rd. looks to be a nice size to play in

my TC31 is finally in for paint...cant wait to see how my bud does with the facelift, should have it back within a couple of weeks if all goes well....TS2 and TS3 are waiting for it ta be finished before they both go over next (gotta finish setting the mounting holes in TS3 before that happens lol )

Serpents Den, glad to here your hull is coming along. I'll go look at that pond you been talking about. I have been working on the Easy-Vee hull. Not much building left, Finishing is the next stage.I don't like finishing. elbow grease & lots of it

Blackout

Wow, allot of boat building in the Syracuse area! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I have been thinking a TS3 with a stock O.S. might be a good boat for my 9 year old son to race.

I bought some MAS epoxy to try on my JAE 21. In the past I have used West System. The MAS is suppose to be better for finishing so we will see...

Serpents Den

hehe kewl Blackout....that TS3will be a screamer with a stock os on it...tuned right you could have it running 40-50 mph no probs...

yea Neil, been busy working on that boat and now have a break for a little bit...just wish i had the time to run one of my otherboats. my SV27 possibly this weekend if things go well....now preparing atm for another winter project too, will be picking up an RCMK engine to drop into another Cat hull for next spring. something about the sexy lines of a catamaran i just cant pass up....i know running gas will be quite a bit different than running nitro, but what the hell, cant pass up having a large boat in my collection was debating on TSB's Gen2 Super cat, Expresscraft Thunderbolt, AL Sprint Cat, AC R42....right now it looks like i'm leaning towards the Super cat or Thunderbolt but not ruling out the R42 or sprint cat (wanted one the first time i ever saw one years ago)

I may have some free time this weekend, Let me know if you feel like a run or 2

Serpents Den

sounds good, i'm prolly going to try a bench run one of these nights after work....get a feel for how this motor ran in my SV from previous owner...hopefully it'll be ok for sunday....after this weekend i go into my fall / winter work schedule....wed/thurs off, out by 9pm during week, sat home by 630pm, sunday by 430pm

advanced builder

Sunday @ 10-11 ish sounds good, I'll bring my 12' boat for retrieval. After this weekend it's all over as far as Summer goes around here. I better get my .21rigger back together ,It hit full open, boom tubs are toothpicks , I have another kit, to take the booms from. The way I drive I better get a few more boom tubes . I was Lucky for the little damage to the wood. The prop is mangled pretty bad I was hooking up good before the crash. Just a LITTLE MISTAKE at them speeds is fatal.

Looks like it should be nice Saturday, 59 degrees and sunny. The pond is filling back up after the enlarging. Most of the weeds are gone. I will probably run some boats Saturday afternoon, if anyone wants to join me. I have a row boat for retrieving dead boats. It's my backyard farm pond. It is 600 feet long. The south (left) turnaround is 200 feet wide, the north turnaround is 175 feet wide, and the middle is 150 feet wide. I live in Canandaigua, NY. Here are some pictures...

WOW, we all need one of them. Looking good to me See you for lunch. Craig
I did talk to Bob propcircles, He's on.

Blackout

Sounds good!

We can grill hot dogs for lunch. How does that sound? Hot dogs are on me. You can bring chips if you want.

PropCircles

Sounds great to me. See you all tomorrow - what time is good for you? I'll bring beverages

Hey Neil - Can I drive the rigger...?[sm=what_smile.gif]

Craig,
thanks for the invite - had a great time. Finally got the gas cat started (figures - day late). We'll have to get together again some time.

I'm done cutting wood. Come on over...

Blackout

Yup, I had a good time too!

I was very happy to get my JAE up to a respectable speed. Removing one head shim did the trick.

My 3PKS was never broken. There is a switch on the side that allows you to turn on the display only and make adjustments without sending a signal. I must have hit that switch and thought the transmitter was stuck on.

Glad my Speedmaster 45 survived the hit on the north bank. That's what I get for trying to make a sharp left turn on a boat setup to turn right. [X(]

Once I build a driver stand centered on the straight away, it will be easier to drive fast around the island.

What was it Bob?, That EVO ,looks like a riggers dream. One hard starter. One of Joe's Gas rigger's would be perfect. They arewide 24 ' inside the booms on the rig. Ya we know your a Catman
Joe , I did test 2 of the props. But my engine was fussy ,I added the upgraded carb on my engine It didn't like the carb. Bob the Gas guy that found a bad diagram. The carb that the engine came with is going back in. More Test is Needed. The SS X678/2 was tested first. I liked it. A big bite. The Brass 472/2 Bob loved that prop. Worked well with the hull. We both ran your 1450 on the .21 Zippkit riggers. Craig hit 55MPH right after a needle adjustment. Running 30 % nitro in his NR35+21

Neil, thanks for posting the videos! Slight correction, I have a .21 5-port running 25% nitro in the JAE rigger. That was the first time it was running good. I removed a head shim and that helped too. Neil's right, I ran no water to the head, otherwise it would run too cold. It has no cowl, so the cool air is enough.

I started digging the post holes for the driver's stand... I'll post pictures as it comes along... There is definitely a better view of your driving line to get around the island when standing in the middle of the pond. Where we were driving on Saturday, almost straight across from the island, it was difficult to tell whether we were going to hit the island. [X(]
