Darin's Vac-U-Pickle

A 6L should be interesting, what is the prop in the pics looks quite large for a 6L. I am glad the square says that strut is straight because it does not look like it in the pic!

[Flyguy55]

A square says its 90 deg. Its off set to the right to offset propwalk.
The other specs are lisited in post # 56 .

[andym]

It looks in the pics that the strut is not at 90deg to the hull, or is it an illusion? What motor ,esc and cells?

Solinger Hardware om Vac U Pickle

[Flyguy55]

I recived a PM on how the Solinger hardware set fits .
The push rod doesent line up between the servo and rudder horn with out a z bend .
The rudder horn sits on top of the rudder and is at least 1/4" too high and is too far left. Depending on what kind of push rod seal you use it takes a Z bend to line up. I also used a Heavy Duty EZ connector on the rudder connecton mounted below the horn .

It looks like it will be fine.
I mounted the bracket screws on the transom center line that offsets the strut 3/16th to the right. The strut is mounted on the left side of the bracket.

Thanks Doug, did anyone try the solinger harware or did all the trial boats run fullers?

Your welcome,
We used Fullers on all the prototypes. As far as I know flyguy55 has built the first one with Solinger hardware.

Doug, my hydro should be in OZ soon where did that turn fin come from?

Ray Fuller, it's on his precision hardware page.

you can mount the rudder bracket on the bottom holes of the strut bracket so you don't have to have that fixed to low on the transom.And with the new 3" rudder you should have plenty of length in the water

It fits well. The bracket measures 11/16th". the transom below where its joined is 7/8th".
I'll try to post some pixs when the graphics are on .

Cool!!

I took mine to the pond for a float test yesterday :-) Does that count as first wet ? LOL
I haven't run it yet . Monday for the maiden .
I read about an unlimited from the 60s called " What a pickle"
The graphics " What A Pickle " and pickle pix will be done Fri.
I'm going to try the Solinger hardware mounted very low, 6L , 2S2P 3300 poly Quest . I'll start with a cutdown x438 , Hydra 120.
With Battery and ESC full aft in front of the motor the CG is an 1 1/4" behind the sponsons.
This kit sure goes together easily .

Dick

You go guy!!
Please post some pics and let us know how the"What a Pickle" does on her maiden voyage.
I too am curious how they'll run with the Solinger hardware.

PS. Sweet boat Danny.
