Any progress is always exciting to me, just means it's that much closer to being done. Looks as good as ever Scott!

Awesome.
Good news, your hardware showed up today. Its installed and the stuffing tube has been tacked in place and is drying. I hope to get the tunnel carboned yet tonight. After that, motor mount and battery tray install and your just about wrapped up. Certainly will ship this week.
Pics to follow

carbon is done., stuffing tube is locked in nicely. Will get motor mount and trays in maybe tonight, if not tomorrow.

That second layer of carbon looks bitchin Scott! Did you have to re-drill for the hardware or did it work out? I guess the servo mount will be put in with the motor mount and trays?

It did come out purdy
LOL oh yeah, that too... and some other things. Itll all be there, dont worry.
Yeah, I had to patch all 4 holes and start over. No biggie. Just an hour delay. top two were pretty close, just a tad closer together and a tad lower. Bottom two again a tad closer but quite a bit higher. made installing the bottom nuts a lot easier though.

Can't complain there.Originally posted by tiqueman View Postmade installing the bottom nuts a lot easier though.
If we are able to ship Wednesday, I'm actually going to have it shipped to my parents house. It should come in Saturday (if shipped Wednesday) and I'll be back home this weekend. Still in PA, zip is 19454 if you need it. I think my dad's just as excited as I am to get it lol.

I'm starting my own FighterCat Daytona build, got the hull a couple weeks ago, and the hardware too, just waiting to clear off the credit card for this month and then buy the motor/ESC. Anyways, just curious if the carbon fiber bottom re-enforcement is must do mod or not?? I'm going with a 1800KV motor and T180 ESC, 14c nimh/4s lipo set-up, nothing crazy. The hull feels pretty solid as is, do i need to add glass/CF?? Thanks!

It is not necessary. I raced one for a while and it was not carboned. I never had an issue with it. Solid hulls.
