Oh yeah, and my B-day present on the propshaft!! :) Once they're broken in I'll run 100+ for 45minute stints. Right now I'm taking it easy. I told my engine builder I leave the sticks at 5350RPM for extended periods and he said, "you do what?" Isn't that why the sticks go there and stay without holding them? Cruise control right. I have a bungy chord that holds the wheel when I get another cold beverage. |

Now there's an idea. Stern drive off the back of the engine and V drive off the front. Does that help get on plane? Why didn't I think of that?

Looks good Dick. When are you going to get to try the prop out? It's been crazy good weather here.

Dick!
Looks amazing! Really excited to hear the good results! Also glad to hear of no major SCX failures |
Kinda waiting on the gas to switch to summer blend. Have to retune, so I perfer to use what will be available for the summer. I do have few things to finish up before I can run it again. Steam holes in the manifold is one item. Add the J&S box to the Megasquirt.. to name a few. So it will be alittle bit yet.
And I have work that needs to be finished before I play!! |
