First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[masonis1]

Oh to mount the servo double sided tape should work

[masonis1]

Do you have two end links for that rod?I believe I'm working today so where are you at on this currently?

There is an end for that rod also. I wont work too much today on this. I have a mixer at school.. hahah

[masonis1]

I was thinking i could get some plastic plate and mount it to the existing holes in the boat then drill for the servo or i can use my mount from my truggy. I just mount the legs to the mount in then mount the servo deck in to that.. hahah

I have pole vaulting til 530, dont get home til 6, mixer at 730 so how about we all just postpone everything until saturday morning

Mason,the pic of the linkage,the aluminum ring,is a dress up ring for ur water line.It doesn't go on the steering linkage. I was wondering what happen to that.It goes in ur transom and the water line connects from the rudder thru the dress up ring and into ur esc.

[masonis1]

Oh now i understand. Hahah. How big of a hole for the boot?

[h2o 1]

I use a 7/32 drill bit for the boot Mason

[masonis1]

Ill look for that sized bit. Thanks..

[masonis1]

So no practice tonight cuz of rain. Let's get to work... Where should I drill the hole for steering

[h2o 1]

Mason,i suggest you get ur basic electronics layout first before u drill a hole for the linkage.Remember what M-a-W said about the center of gravity?

[masonis1]

Yes. The weight seems to still be forward. Center is about 7 or 8 inches from the back of the transom. So should i start by mounting my servo?

[h2o 1]

Wait on the servo.Did you epoxy the tabs to the battery trays yet?

[masonis1]

I have not. I have a servo deck i will send a picture of when i get home.

[h2o 1]

Sounds good! Get the trays made but dont epoxy them to the hull yet.You can lay them inside the hull with ur electronics and start moving things around to find the proper center of gravity.

[h2o 1]

Also the tabs lay flat against the battery trays,not the edge of the tab.On the bottom of the trays there is a scribe,you will see what im talking about.
