Your MG that started off as a hull

[macdon]

Oh yeah! How much do you want for it? Better yet! is it for free????

Take it! Its yours!

[tagasagwan]

Take it! Its yours!

WOW! Thanks Brother! I will resurrect that boat! hehehe!

[macdon]

if only shipping this poor baby to Manila is cheap, I'll be all over it! Darn shipping cost!

If Joe is in California - he could probably shove the boat into the ocean and hope that the current is going our way! hahahahaha! That'll save you shipping cost!

Hey, isnt your TopGun from Jason still in the LA warehouse? You can possibly explore bundling it together, eh?

[tagasagwan]

i know exactly what you're you mean bro! if only women can find a hobby of their own and leave us alone, now wouldn't that be a perfect world

jason, had you posted a pic of the interior of your MG? i can't remember what i have or have not seen anymore.

I think I'm lucky on that point. My wife tolerates my RC addiction. She even picks up my packages at the postal office. hehehe! Lucky Me!

We could run them together with my 40" Cig boat ................ both powered with T600s!!!

Yes it is still at the L.A. Warehouse. But that green pussy is huge man! 50" long. I'm sure the courier will charge higher than the topgun2 due to the size!

Thanks Mac,
Just emailed him on the cat,
Told him you sent me.
Not really sure what I am getting my self in to with this repair.
I have done body work on a custom 1961 manx dune buggy,
Ground up restore street hugger and show winner.
That cat is just pretty not to think about,

That's a deal! So I just need to transfer my hardware from my SM29 to the osprey and order that $7 cable assembly from HK and a new ESC then it's all set. Maybe after 4 weeks if I rush it without a new paint job! LOL!

That cat is a winner Lenny! based from the photos, it looks like it broke along the seams. At least it's repairable than a break along the sides. Nothing a few fiberglass and clips can't fix!

Joe told me that a lot of folks in Jim's told him that its very repairable and to be honest, its not really a big deal. The important thing is the damage is not under the hull which is vital on the boat's performance.
Maybe just fold it down, add a bit of bondo and repaint it black or orange - it is like an arrow head or something! The green paintjob alone costs more than his asking price, I believe.

Just holler if you need help on fixing it up, Lenny!

You need a bit bigger hardware than a SM29 for the Osprey. Yup, use 3/16 or .187 flex and stinger for this.

Joe was doing about 75mph when it happened. Powered by in-line twins!! Darn, thats gotta be fast with a 50" Cat eh? Definitely not for smaller ponds!

Remember my SM29 has a over-sized hardware. It has the same hardware that came with your osprey. So, I think it will do. Then I'll just buy a new set for my SM29 but this time it will be smaller.

So, we're at 72! I was back reading and replying to post then going back again to read more! Hahahaha!
