    Graupner SX4000 - finally here!

    I have never been so happy to get a package in my life. My new SAW rigger has arrived. I'll be taking some shortly and posting theme here.

                              During race events in the U.S.A. Hans Lehner's SX-4000 established two world speed records at 149 km/hr (92 Mph) in the 6-cell class, and 156 km/hr (96 Mph)in the 7/8-cell class.
                              Straightway races are held over a 100 m course; the boat has to complete the course in both directions from a flying start, and the average speed of the two passes is calculated.
                              The boat is designed for straight running only, and the primary purpose of the rudder is simply to provide course correction.
                              The model features a carbon fibre hull and a GRP deck. It is supplied with the following parts factory installed: stern tube & propeller shaft, motor mount, rudder & steering linkage, servo mount, shaft coupling (5.0 x 1.5mm)etc.

                                      Ohhhhhhhhhh yesssssssssssss. Very nice indeed. Some very interesting concepts employed in the construction. The winglets at the back is a much more sensible place than those on the Xzess 2. You have done well. I await your testing. I think you will be posting some big numbers on the gps Danny.
                                      Good luck

                                              OK, what are you going to power it with, and where are you going to run her??
