Twin Outboard X-series Cat

[F1 madness]

Thanks bud
the length of the hull is 38" (965mm)
iv still not decided yet on power but might go with a twin esc from fightercat and try a pr of his outrunners but gotta get it molded now so thats the main goal as its the 1st time moulding LOL

A pair of the FCR outrunners like these [in the correct KV] would look really slick: http://fightercatracing.com/index.ph...mart&Itemid=56

With no motor cowls, they'd be merrily spinning their hearts out in full view. One thing to consider however is outrunner shaft size (usually 6mm) mating to the available motor-to-shaft couplers. May have to do some machining

Hi properchopper
These are the 1s i was looking at but the 1600kv (1580) with his twin esc
id would have to machine the shaft collet for sure but also thinking about props x440/3 or 442/3 ??
need to order another OB unit aswell LOL

F1 she looks really great I did a few wood builds and I must say they are very very time consuming. Keep up the nice work and can't wait until the the maiden run.
Good luck
Chris

Parting board now done after hrs of carefull marking & sanding to ensure a snug fit
next need to fix it to 18mm board with some uprights to keep it all in line and prep for paint

[F1 madness]

Framework now made to support the parting board and keep it straight for even join line round the hull


Parting board now placed on,just needs sanding and sealing ready for paint



Hatch flange is also done and is all sealed and ready for light rub down and paint
