Avanti's Armada now has a Delta Force 33"

I like the idea of the metal backing plates for the hardware. good thinking Avanti.

That is from my experience working with full scale race boats.

Just curious why you didn't take the transom doubler all the way to the bottom of the V. Are those Arrowshark trim tabs? Pretty.

the wood came in the boat as for the aluminum plate I did not think it was needed. only time will tell I guess, I can always make a new plate. not sure about the tabs I got them off ebay.

Btw the rudder plate is 1/16, the rest of the plates are 1/8 thick and are drilled and tapped.

motor is in & esc is plumbed. I still need to do all the soldering (obrien
I need your big iron moe). I also need to pick up a bit more yellow tubing for the plumbing. I'm not 100% sure of what I am going to do for a water exit yet (I have a thru hull for an SV27 that I might use). I also made and servo mount and epoxied it in to place. I also made a deck for the batteries to sit on but I am undecided if I want to use it or not.

Whats left

ok here the list of things to finish:

Rubber mount for ESC
Buy more water line to plumb motor
cooling exit
servo push rod

4-40 screws for servo mount
Graphics

Where are you mounting antenna?

[Avanti]

Hugh, in post #71 you can see the antenna in the pics. it is mounted right on the back deck.

on a side note: I need to find a new sign shop my guys wanted to charge me 38 bucks for two small logos, after I've spent hundreds with them.

I did a quick leak test and the stinger needs to come back off because it leaks at the transom and in through the stuffing tube.

updated list:

Rubber mount for ESC used a piece of pool noodle
Buy more water line to plumb motor used some out of a SV for now
servo push rod done
solder connectors done
solder flex shaft coupler end done
sharpen & balance props x640 done
battery mount done used some 1/8 ply resin coated and epoxied in
4-40 screws for servo mount done found some in my r/c parts bin
leak test first leak test done and the stinger leaked so I took it off and resiliconed it now it is fine

cooling exit still undecided where I want this
final leak test
charge batteries
tighten all hardware
TEST RUN!
Graphics working on this after the weekend

anyone see anything I'm missing here

[Avanti]

water seal batteries with silicone
and check CoG
still need to be done too

[Avanti]

The boat ran great
(140°F) 4s1p 5000mah
X640 balanced & sharpened
(120°F) hydra240
(110°F) 7xl
temps were all low, no BBQ except hotdogs
I need to do more setup work on balance and CoG
