@ HYDROJERRY

They were a gift to me, so I guess just the cost of a small padded evelope with shipping. $5.00CAN should do. Or a pint, if we ever meet in person.

I can't sell many, but a few. The wee ones that is.

I can mold anything composite, but never done injection-molding, such as silicone. Can any body here do it, because I sure all of us marin hobby'ers could use mare of these.

Now I'm thinking about how to do it. Gonna start a thread on the topic.

Rudder is made up new batts are charged and just finished installing the water pickup. Ill try to get it on the water by next weekend, building my swimming pool this week end.
Try some blue locktite on the shaft, and if the motor shaft doesnt have a flat surface to grip grind one in with a dremmil. Keep us posted!! Good luck.

Rear hop can be caused by a few things.
1. Negative prop angle
2. Cg or weight too far forward
3. A high lift prop with 1 or more of the above factors.

There are others but these are the main ones.
Ensure that the hull is setup on a table or board and set the strut flat while setting the AoA on the forward sponsons, commonly 4deg.
Set the Cg or centre of balance at at least 10% aft of the rear of the front sponson. Both of my riggers run a Cg at 20%+ aft.

I do not have a small rigger like yours....yet....I am sure that some of the basics are the same.

I am keen to help and learn.

HYDROJERRY · Nov 18, 2009, 08:31 AM

thank you Simon, as far as the cg i dont have much choice the batts barely fit in it so where they sit is all there is for space,if you look at my preveuse post you'll see the pics, batts are crammed in it but i can adjust the prop up,down,tilt up,down. because the batts its very heavy in the front,,,,

HYDROJERRY · Nov 19, 2009, 12:03 PM

just an update rased the prop another 1/4'' will see what happens this weekened.
