I have now completed the second race and managed a first in my heat and 2nd overall. Quite pleased with that although my legs did not stop shaking throughout the whole race.

A couple of testing pictures on the water

Hi all i ordered a makara last week and a sikk 27 to go with it, i cant wait but there is a couple of questions id like to ask.
1 how far back to mount the motor and 2 how far up the transom would you exit the stuffing tube?
i intend to race it at windermere in sept so when the hull comes it all hands to the pumps to build her, run her in and get used to her.
i have built one gas boat before but its not up to omra spec its an arrow shark flying dragon with a g260 zen in it.
did you load everything into the hull as a dry run and move the motor to get the c of g?
any help i can get with this build would be very welcome indeed..........cheers..........Pete.

ps i will be D 101 sounds good that

Hi Pete,

I will probably upgrade to a Sikk over the winter.

As far as the C of G i found the best position was about the same length as the flexi tube, also made for easier fixing and no cutting. She seems to run well and i have a 2nd and a 3rd this year.

Stuffing tube as low as possible, any help would be happy to oblige.

Look forward to seeing you at Windamere.

Regards

Simon

hi Simon thanks for the info and as soon as i get my hull off paul ill keep you posted on the build and put it on your thread if thats ok.
i should get the hull next week all being well.
i would love the high res pics (that boat is superb) and my email is [email protected] ..........cheers.........Pete

oh Simon one final thing im having my hull sprayed yellow in 2 pack and i want my boat in the DeWALT sponser theme, i need three big DeWALT stickers, ive searched the net and come up with nothing.
where did you get the red bull stickers for yours they look great and really set the boat off........cheers...........Pete

2772e · « **Reply #33 on:** July 17, 2007, 07:30:04 am »

Hi Pete,

I had them made by a local sticker man. if you want i can give you his details but he can be unrelaible. If you look on the OMRA website under suppliers i think there is another chap that can do it.

Alternativly google stickers or decals in your local area?

Regards

Simon

pete_486 · « **Reply #34 on:** July 17, 2007, 10:35:20 pm »

thanks Simon i got your pics which are superb and that nikon that took them is one hell of a camra.
the stickers are sorted because i am mates with a local sign writer and saw him today and he said he can do them for me free,
i like that word free (he owes me one) :).
yeah about paul i dont know him ive only had one dealing with him and thats for my makara but ive talked on the phone and he seems a real sound guy,+ he leaves the hulls in the mold for nearly a week to cure them then there's no hooks in the hull.
cheers...........Pete

martno1fan · « **Reply #38 on:** July 26, 2007, 03:23:11 pm »

hi pete good to see your hull arrived ill look forward to seeing it come together,by the way just ordered a zen off dave so deciding which boat it will go in.either my woody or i may build a cat from scratch

.will be running a clutch but not decided wether to run a water pump or not,seeing as ill only be using the clutch for easy launching on my own and for bringing the boat to shore seems i might not need one.its a long story but i got two zens from a guy i know cheap and some **** broke in my workshop and stole them along with my tools.had to get insurance to pay out so i ordered two zens off dave but i only need the one.should have them pluss headers and mounts clutch etc in next week or so.might try it in my boat while i decide which new hull to build.you running a clutch in this new makara?.

2772e · « **Reply #39 on:** July 26, 2007, 05:37:32 pm »

Pete,

Have you bought or are you making the rails?

If you are making them please keep a copy of them?

I can see a rebuild on the cards over the winter.

Did you get the Sikk ffom Bluefishy78?

Regards

Simon

pete_486 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 12, 2007, 07:36:07 pm »

well i started my build today here's how its looking

2772e · « **Reply #47 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:57:52 am »

Hi Pete,

Boat is looking good, are you still going with the Yellow paint scheme?

Don't you just love them when they are all shiny and clean, are you sure you want to race her. Looks too good.

Have you raced Omra D before?

On a serious note i see you have fitted turn fins, i don't run them on mine, just reduced the rudder throw to 80%. She seems to turn OK. I don't run with trim tabs either.

If you have not already got a pipe, i have a mate around the corner from me who builds them, very good, competitive and keenly priced?

Looking forward to racing with you at Windamere.

Regards

Simon

pete_486 · « **Reply #48 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:27:09 pm »

hi Simon ive never raced before but ill give it a go.
the pipe ive got is a quiet bonzi pipe which puts another hp on it.
i do intend on the yellow paint but im gonna run it first then just take the hardware off the back and mask up.
what radio are you running? ive still got a jr 40meg wheel set.
i should be doing the first rud this coming sunday at sale water park........cheers.............Pete

2772e · « **Reply #49 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:50:04 pm »

Pete,

I am running a Futaba 40 digital set, it has a ten model memory and i also use it for all my land based models, cars and boats etc.

If i was going to look at new i would go fot the 2.4 sets, no clashes and the prices have come right down. I prefer sticks to wheels but its personal choice.

You have picked a fast set up to start with.

Hope she runs well, dont get tempted to over rev it when shes breaking in.

Regards

Simon
