Itty Bitty Kitty

INEEDSPOTS created the topic: Itty Bitty Kitty

:laugh: Pic of my latest SAW cat. I had the idea of using one of these little nitro cats a few years ago and just never put one together. Made the mistake of mentioning the idea of it, and now everyone and their mama over on Jims is or wants to build one :laugh:

Aeromarine 40/60 nitro boat (34.5" long).. Powered by a standard CC Racing ProMod, piped by CC Beast Pipe & QD Hotpipe. Homemade cowl using cutup parts from a Carbon Stryker F41 cowl.




After only 3 times in the water testing, took it to Huntsville for the SAW trials. Weather sucked and didnt get to make any passes after making a few shakedown runs to get comfortable running there. Ran a couple passes just over 77mph (timed traps, not GPS) then the water and wind kicked up too much to run it after leaning on the motor more and throwing more prop at it.



and no...i didnt hit the ski jump :laugh:

Hi SPOTS!

Can you swear, that you did'nt speed the movieclip up to double speed before posting it at YouTube? :laugh:

Actually that was some impressing run, and the bottom (runners) on your rocket - sorry: your boat really inspires me to do something alike on my Smokin' Cigarette (still in build).

Happy New Year! :cheer:

Woodie.
