Ill be there... no idea what Im bringing. Probably just LSO and STD.

Still no love from the Fightercat? I'll still bring my Q just in case. If I don't run it I can use the 6s packs in the Thunderbolt.

Thanks guys. Yea the top one was made after I made a jig to hold the material for the milling. Hopefully it will help with the turning problem. Will see :)

I'll have one available for testing it on.

Looks like the forecast is for 5 - 10mph winds out of the east for Sun -

Scott, I can bring an extra T180 or SF 240 if you want to try out that black cat.

Bill, I have the .187 collet for ya - I had it last time I just forgot to give it back.

I would defiantly make sure both recovery boat batteries are charged up. I'll bring an extra just in case. No B - Tow this week.

I'm bringing;

P Mono
LSO
LSH
STD
PTD
1/8 hydro
if I can get to it.

temporary brain fart. Ill be bringing that too. Ben sent an esc and programmer. Still need to solder it up though. Hopefully the mounted to board bullets dont give me any issues. Ill probably only charge one set of packs for it though.

Brian you got your PTD all ready to go????? Cant wait to see how she does. My new PTD hull showed up today, but may get another in the water before its done. Decided to make some hardware changes. I sold both DF cats. However one (the yellow undrilled) Im building for Deisel.

[RCKong]

Ya, almost done - need to run cooling lines.

Nice paint job

[tiqueman]

that looks SICK!!!! you suprise me sometimes B. this is one of those times simple yet blingy. will be very easy to see on the pond.

[RCKong]

MUHHAHA...Thanks Bill, Scott

[tiqueman]

Its funny you did your like that.. remember the 80s offshore vhull team Ferrarri? yellow black and white. Its one of the options on how I was going to do mine.

[RCKong]

DUDE...I had no idea - and was having trouble finding anything that matched. I ordered a carb kit from JEGS a couple of weeks ago and the decal was in the box, and it matched the paint nicely...they must have known.

My boat has the large rudder, we'll see how it works. I think the trouble with these cats turning ability lye's in the sponson configuration. I've noticed that cats with flat bottom sponsons corner better due to what I call the skipping effect. Kind like a flat stone skipping across the water. MC and MG handle in the corners great, both have flat sponsons. In fact I can corner at WOT sometimes when the wind is not a factor. The sponsons on the DF cat are not at a flat plane parallel to the water surface, so instead of skipping, they cut and dig the outside sponson in the corner. I see Ben has a new 41" Cat on the way with flat sponsons that I'm looking at. It will probably be my new Q Boat.

Explain this one then? I think it has a lot to do w/ the rudder. that little tfl blade just isnt enough to lock the a$$ end down. I think we are going to see a big difference w/ daves hard work.

[tiqueman]

I just noticed that.. where did you get that rudder?

[johnf]

That is a great action shot.
