Got myself a squish band tool from Dale. Easy to use and accurate.
Thanks.
New build: AC R42
Written by Eirik on February 1st, 2009 - 23:29 | Leave a Comment
The planning of the new AC R42 build has been going on for a while in my head. It has unfortunately taken a good time to get hold of all the parts that I wanted to use on the boat. I have cleaned up and reorganise my workshop and everything is now in place to step up a notch on the build.
I haven’t decided which radiobox to use; the one that comes with the boat, one from Modellbau Center Lorenz, or a combination of my own glassfiber box and the flange from the box from Modellbau Center Lorenz. I really like the flange from Lorenz with the o-ring as a gasket …
The tune pipe is the same as I use on my other boats, a Jeroen tune pipe. The rudder system is from Speedmasters and the strut and strut bracket is from MTC. I have also bought the engine, what I will use is … (you just have to wait and see).
Thanks to Dom again for supplying the hull and Jeroen for the tune pipe and tips.

AC Lazer 45

I have during the winter, spring and part of this summer been building an AC Lazer 45 with a Jeroentune modded Zenoah PUM260 engine. I would like to thank Jeroen for a great engine and tunepipe. He has also given me plenty of tips and tricks and I guess the Lazer looks very much like his. In addition Dom for supplying the hull and some setup tips and Khaled for parts of the decals. Take a look in the gallery for some pictures.
Update 17.08.08:
The Lazer had it’s maiden voyage today after soem late nights to finish it up. The hull performs well and feels very stable. I only ran one tank today so not a lot of props where tested. I did only test the scoop hatch. It clocked in with 87.5 km/t with a PS 6717/3 from Chris Hoffmann. More to come.
