        Anything going on here? Progress? Finish up the top, I know you got my HOK paint and PPG clear, and a nice big aircompressor, paint guns, airbrush sand paper, get this bad boy in the water! I'm thinking about starting to work on mine some, more work = less parts for me to loose when I move.

          Well it is funny you ask,
          I am going to do a video on balancing the props tonight I realized that on my blog I state that "I am here to tell you all about the art of model boat building fron scratch" so I thought that I needed some actual information someone could actually use. by the way I moved it off the jig today does that count for something?

                      Well I guess just dust setteling for now, but I did get some pretty cool struts in the mail a couple of weeks ago but I want to take pictures of them with the cables and such then the mounting process with the blind nuts and brass tubing!! that may take place in a coup;e of weeks.

                        More Bad Kitty Info

                        I know I know I have been rather non performing for building the Lynx Version II (Cat Scratch Feaver/ Double Felix but the good news is that I have dusted it off and started working on it again (It helps to have lots of goodies from our sponsors here at Offshore Electrics and else where I started by getting this nice little prop strut holder and then two prop shaft kits a right hand and a left hand both are 1/8" which should be great for this little Cat so here are a couple of pics to complete the day.

                          Tubes and supports in

                          Hey I did something tonight!! I cut my tubes (stuffing type) and made a couple of supports out of carbon fiber to keep them in place I usually use chunks of balsa but the stuff to make this little kitty was a bit more expensive so I elected to use the carbon fiber so here are a couple of pics so you can see the progress.





                          You hve to be careful when you make these as the position is dictated by the length of your couplers so you need some for mocking up or else you may just have a mistake on your hands.

                              Where'd you get the plans for this? Looks perfect for a winter build project for a younger relative!
