Carbon fiber inlay service

[keithbradley]

Anyone interested in having some silver hexcell texalium (silver carbon fiber) inlay done on their boat? I have some here and would like to do a hull with it.

Here's the deal:

*There would be no charge. You would be responsible for paying shipping of the hull to and from me, but I would not charge you for materials or labor.

* It could turn out to be a spectacular job, or it could be so-so. The purpose of this is to see how well I can do a boat with this material. It is stiffer than standard carbon fiber because it is infused with aluminum, and won't bend around corners as easily as carbon fiber. If it just flat out didn't work and I couldn't do the job with the silver fiber, I would do your boat in standard carbon fiber. I would make sure that you got something out of shipping the boat to and from me.

* Post here if you're interested. Let me know what kind of boat you have, what size, and the condition (new, used, ect.). I will only be doing one boat for free(not necessarily from this site).

Yeah I can do it. If there's anything you need to remove before the carbon fiber is laid you would want to do so before shipping it. PM me when you're ready and I'll get you my shipping address and Paypal info.

keith, did you get your hands on a lynx?
how much would twin mounts (not water cooled of course) for 3126's be?

I plan on looking into it but I haven't yet. It looks to me like custom mounts with no water cooling are definitely going to be the best for your setup. There's not a lot of extra room to work with so you are going to want the freedom to angle and position the motors as you see fit during the building process. Check the "build services" section on the fighter cat forums. I have a thread there with custom motor mounts, low profile servo mounts, and ESC mounts/cover plates (I'm probably going to have a hatch holdown system I'll put on there soon as well). Also, in my Fantasm build thread I go over the process of installing the motor mounts.

I'll get in touch with you in regards to this in the next couple days. I have a few projects I'm dealing with now and I have to drive my wife's van into work tomorrow so I can stay late and fix her brakes, so it will probably be the next day before I know more.

You're gonna have a rocket on your hands there boaterguy...

[Boaterguy]

yeah, it's gonna be pretty powerful, I've actually been looking around for less powerful motors but haven't found any, it would have been cheaper to just run these on 3S.
but I do have 5S packs that will take the load for a pass
i'll go on your other thread and check out what you have, thanks.

Thanks for the offer Chris. I actually have a couple of boats to do with the silver texalium, so I don't need any more for trials. I'm actually quite certain it will work fine on a Mono, it was more of a concern of whether or not I could get it to properly bend around the tunnel and sponsons of a catamaran.

I would be interested in doing your df though, $75 for either silver or standard carbon fiber.

[Chrisg81983]

Ok sounds good what is your turn around time if i send it out Sunday night

[keithbradley]

It only takes me a day or two. Give me three days once the hull reaches me (the third day is for drying time before shipping), and I'll ship it back to you the next business day, if not earlier (unless there's an unusual circumstance).

[keithbradley]

Here's a pic of some current work. I'm obviously doing more than just an inlay, but it looks great either way...

[Chrisg81983]

Wow looks great man I would also like to talk to you about a few other things after seeing that last pic I will keep in touch I just want to get a few layouts I would like like to see about you doing some work on a aeromarine .90 sprintcat as well. like batt. Trays and servo mount in both hulls and then cf matting in he df 41 as the cat has it already

thanks

Keith,

I just got notified that the parts I have been waiting for my EKOS Twin Build have just been shipped by FighterCat. I would like you to not only do the CF inlay but do the whole build for me, if you still offer that service.
