New twin rigger

[tlandauer]

Gil, Have you used the TP water jackets? Do they work good? I haven't used any of them yet, I get them with the motors because they are free but I use HRC jackets on all my TP motors.

Don't mean to hyjack the thread, I thought the O ring was thin and the space between the motor can and the inner wall of the jacket is smaller than Leo and HRC, but I used in my JAE 21 rigger and to my surprise it work rather well, the temp was never high and the flow was more than decent.

"Are the props going to counterrotate? Or are those props just for show?"


Looks like both cables are wound the same way also

[grsboats]

Powerdemon no counterrotate props and yes the V947 will be used in this boat.With the right set up a rigger even FE doesn't need counterrotation..this way you are very short with prop selection.BTW I've been running my nitro twin with zero overveer.Ray yes the water pick ups are fastened but with little epoxy gluing too.Tlandauer thanks for the very supporting words and it's a pleasure share my projects with fellas here.Today the transom was reinforced with 3mm c.f sheets and I will start the electronic i.e connectors,mods in the esc's etc.Gill

[grsboats]

Thanks Mike! I use to shim my struts(right side) with 1,5mm c.f sheet to compensate propwalk.I'm in the go with championship and customer's boats but I guess I can have the boat primed(not painted) for its maiden run soon.Gill

[grsboats]

For those that were in doubt about the effiency of TP water jackets we tested them in two different boats(rigger and mono) and what I can say is that they work good with final low temps in both motors so I'm confortable now to use them in this project.Gill

Thanx Gil, I'll use the TP jackets now too. I can't wait to see this thing run, it is turning out beautiful!!

[grsboats]

Worked on the esc's .....now it's time for brainstorming for the small details.Thanks flraptor hope this thing runs as good as its woody brother.Gill

[grsboats]

....worked all day long(four boats) shortening cables,soldering connectors,anti sparks etc..man what a pain task ...installed esc's plates,In the picture you can see a good option to accomodate esc's....big o-rings passing under the c.f plate will keep them in place.Struts are ready positioned with accurate off set.Tomorrow I will install skis!

[olwarbirds]

Very nice Gill, Id love to have a twin SAW rigger....DJ

[tlandauer]

Gill, a pleasure just to look inside the hull, love the FG/resin work, so clean. The piece you added for your rudder is cool, I am enjoying tagging along this build!
Cheers!

[grsboats]

Thank you fellas for your kind words again...I haven't had too much time to work on my boat as I have some anxious customers looking forward for their toys but here some uptade of MY BOAT.lol!Mike this my standard of work for all boats I build ..it's a pleasure receive good feedback from customers. Hope to finish it next week before our big event in two weeks!Cheers Gill

[grsboats]

The skis have 2 degrees of AOA and won't touch water at full speed. Boat is weighting right now with all components 5,84kg so I guess it will end up after painting around 6,2kgs.Gill

[grsboats]

Ok boat's ready for the sanding/painting..unfortunetely the weather is miserable right now,rainy and cold(7C) and forecast says sunny in the next three days.Gill

[martin]

Gill are you still using A Spec lipos, have you also tried any of the A Spec G2 lipos yet. Thanks Martin.

[grsboats]

Yes Martin A Spec's are good till now(probably twenty + charges)..no I haven't tried the G2 and my Nanotech 45C are surprisingly showing good power after two year....I'm taking good care of them using only balancing charge and limiting my running times to maximum three minutes.Thanks Gill
