Skippies and Kiwis

[Xzessperated]

I was in Hospital for 5 days last year with Cellulitis. I had wads of IV penicillan and then was sent home with a very thin plastic tube that went into my elbow and then up to my HEART. I got to watch on the screen as they inserted it too.
I had to mix my own drugs and "shoot up" every 6 hrs. Yes that included midnight.

Not a real fun time I can tell ya. It was for 7 days and by the end of it I was glad to have the tube taken out.

I wish you all the best there Paddy and do want you to get ill at all. Then you will just be grumpy. I was.

Take care of yourself my friend.

Thanks so much Simon. It is hard to be grumpy when you run with the Pack and cheer for Saint Kilda

Andy,
You know what the pics below are about so I will say no more.
I have been busy Packing pool noodles in the new hull

[Simon.O.]

Seeing as there is only one of those longish shiney things I can only surmise that this is for a mono. Best of luck there, as I had fark all of it with my venture into the mono world.

I am now about to "repair" the hull..................with a CAT.
I will shove the 7xl and a 440/3 in a cat and see how it likes that.

I will say this based on this data / observations
A 7XL with a 637, 440 and a 640 could not get my mono to do any outrageous speeds above 70 kmh.
When I put the 440/3 on there it was an animal and commited suicide.
The hook up was a bit slower than with the 2 bladers but the power was mad.

This combo just has to go into a Cat that will be very carefully built so that a pair of L cans can go in at a later date.

One last piece of my build philosophy. I can produce a hull for about the same price as a ***tery ESC.
If I kept pushing the mono it would cost me that for that reason.

I'have a Cat ( components) on the build and will post up a thread as soon as I have decided on a length and therefore the width.

Yes I can start building without knowing the final measurements.

Back to the normal program now.

Andy,
A little work was done today as the picture shows you. I hope to find time tomorrow to get the stuffing tube and engine mount glued in place. The hole for the stuffing tube has been drilled so I just have to get it all aligned and then mix the epoxy and start throwing that about a bit.

Simon,
It is not a secret, I am building a DF 33.
I had read about your mono and feel sorry for you. I did not comment on your thread as I tend to hijack things a bit so I save my nonsense for here.
Good luck with the cat.
Paddy

Paddy, to me a hijack is when there is meaningless dribble, severly off topic banter or anything that is not constructive to a thread.

You, above many, have shown an ability to contribute to a technical discussion.

I will always value your input to any of my builds or design discussions, this is what a forum is about.
I know that I once got cranky about a bit of (o/t) banter on one thread and I will still do so, I like to keep things clear and on topic.
Matt, Graham and I still do the same to each other on threads. As long as it is on topic ( or really close ) most folk are keen.

Some folk just have a limited sense of humour and some have none at all.

I'll do a nice Cat and it wil be for visual pleasure. I now have most of my speed targets in the bag.
There is still possibly a 7S on its way to me that will go in the small rigger for some real fun.

The new Cat will have some unusual build features and some neat hardware when I get it sorted.

Take care Paddy, and stay healthy.

Engine ????
You are farkin joking there Paddy ????
I am sure you meant to type Motor. Not one of those smelly slow ar$e fuel burning, air polluting pieces of ballast metal.

This will be Electric Paddy ???

[ozzie-crawl]

paddy is lucky my mother still doesnt live in tassie or i would send her around to wash his mouth out with soap for saying the Eword

[egneg]

Paddy I am thinking of how to paint the hull when I get done patching it up.


What do you think of this ...

I am still laughing. No gasser in this one Simon. This will have a motor as you suggested and run on solar electricity.

Ozzie I wonder if your mother did some arm wrestling as she sounds like the woman that almost took the Champion Tasmanian Arm Wrestling Belt from me. It took 6 bouncers to throw her out of the hotel. She sure Packed a punch.

Oh really nice Chuck. It is sure to be a winner. St Kilda have won 19 out of 21 games this year and are on top of the ladder. Go Sainters
Maybe a Football or two and a picture of captain Nick Riewoldt in a prominent place would be good.

Andy,
Motor and stuffing tube in...

[ozzie-crawl]

no paddy it was 8 bouncers and 4 cops
the mono is looking sweet, i have the cyberstorm fantastic hulls
could help but notice the heat shrink on your motor wires,makes me think your heat gun is the same as mine,it looks suspiciously like a cigarette lighter

LOL. Yes ozzie it is a cigarette lighter. Cheap and nasty is me, very, very nasty

[ozzie-crawl]

well $60 for a heat gun or $1.50 for a lighter makes sense to me
either that or i am a cheap bastard as well
