    H&M Freya hull finishing

    Will start finishing this hull over the next weeks. Looking for tips to find the best quality decals. From H&M or from MHZ? Or alternatives? If MHZ, probably 84cm version?
    Thanks

            Related to the decals - if one wants to place them on the painted hull, before applying the final clear coat, will they stick well? Or should decals be applied on a really smooth surface for maximum adhesion? For example, does it make sense to spray 1-2 coats of final clear (no sanding) then decals, then a few more coats of clear?

              Strut level a good starting point for this hull? What do you think?

                Looks good to me, I suspect it will only go up from here, but only one way to find out!
                What motor, voltage and prop are you starting with?

                    If you can set the prop 5mm higher less load to start with, i have a mistic 114 single motor (4092 1400kv on 6s)and run so good
                    I have excellent results with Prather props

                      Ok, great. Will start with the strut a bit higher. Thanks guys

                      Technically ready to test somewhere next days.

                        Need to rotate that water jacket to get the exit line on top. Looks like the exit line is near the bottom, the jacket wouldn't fill but a quarter of the way.

                          Thanks John, maybe my aquatic skills are bad. Why is that? You suggest to push the water flow upward in the jacket? In the direction below? Or do you mean to rotate the nippels facing upward?

                            Fittings on top, exit nipple should be the highest one, that way cooling can is full of water before exiting to get maximum use of the can.
