1/6 Scale Drag Boats

[larryrose11]

A new process I have been thinking about. Is to take the wet cloth and squeegee a thin film of slurry on to the cloth to make a clean CF finish. Light and strong. No need to paint good looks and no water leakage with CF. Also close to look of infusion but much stronger. This is the result.

Randy, Have you tried resin infusion using MTI Hoze?
No catch pot, no dry spots, no bubbles. it takes the place of the spiral hoze in a RTM, but the hoze has a microporous membrane that is permeable to gas but impermeable to resin. It works.

Is there a video of the process? It looks interesting I get bags from APC the owner is a friend.

I found this guy on facebook "Scale Design by MrcommaD". Any body know the manufacture of the scoop so we can get more scale detail?
Yes the scoop will be the three butterfly type that sticks up in the air a long way!

Well they are called ‘hats’ Randy and Enderle makes a CF one. BDS would likely as well(Blower Drive Service).

Actually, the tall induction system is called a “Bird Catcher” and the shorter one is called a “Bug Catcher”. Here’s a pic of a BBC, 500ci, blown on alcohol motor I put together at my brother’s boat shop in Woodinville, Wa last week. It’s a BDS 6-71 blower on BDS manifold with an Enderle Bug Catcher... It was a fun build, all new Dart Block, Ross pistons and Eagle rods. I B a happy guy!
