Finishing touches

Finally installed the cooling water exits last night and tonight added in a couple of battery trays. Guess this will be my last build related update until it goes to the water.
The fully rigged, ready to run hull & hatch minus the lipos comes in at 9 lbs 2 oz.

A pair of 4s packs weigh 2 lbs 7 oz. 4s running weight will be 11 lbs 9 oz.
A pair of 5s packs weigh 3 lbs 2 oz. 5s running weight will be 12 lbs 4 oz.
A pair of 6s packs weigh 3 lbs 6 oz. 6s running weight will be 12 lbs 8 oz.

Ackerman off schedule testing this weekend???? I've got two that need tested as well around the course

[bill34207]

The weather is supposed to be lots better this weekend than it was last weekend. I'm game and still have time to get the hydro fitted with a new flex so have a couple for testing myself.
Guess we should mention it in the club thread so anybody else wanting to run will know we're planning to go?

Check my tag line. I'm a firm believer in video.

[tiqueman]

Yeah, we can always count on Bill to have a camera on site.

[Jabbo]

Nice!!!

Bill, what did you use to cut the foam so pretty?

Bill, what did you use to cut the foam so pretty?

Remember the old "ginsu" kitchen knives? They work great on this type of foam. Any sharp blade works well on this stuff though. It's not like the beaded stuff.

[osprey21]

Yeah, that stuff cuts real easy with a serrated or, electric knife. And Scott, I stopped by my "source" for the foam this afternoon but there wasn't any in the bin but I'll keep checking.

[tiqueman]

Cool chris, thanks for trying.

[osprey21]

I do however have another piece, like I gave you the other day, plus a couple other smaller pieces if you need them.

[tiqueman]

I'm in no rush. I can wait

[RCKong]

Good job Bill, looking forward to seeing it run.
Mine is on hold until the CF arrives.

[Jabbo]

What is the kv of the motors you are running and is it going to be on 4s our 5s still trying to figure out what I'm going to put in mine.
Thanks
Jeff
