Phantom from Billing Boats
« on: July 23, 2013, 06:01:24 pm »

Hi there

Just bought a Billings Phantom kit that had been started for approx 60£

It will get a brushless Graupner compact 260 VA 1420KV with a 18A ESC and a 3S Lipo.

As it came

Started on it the July 9Th.

I'm using a PU adhesive and I know it will take some cleaning afterwards.

First plank


Last plank on, next it will be cleaning and sanding

Hi Tica,

Your build is coming along nicely!

I assume you motorisation is going to be similar to the Phantom of Jorgen?

The reason I ask is; 1420 x 11,1V =14000 rpm under load, which is too much for a submerged prop.
I'd go for a lower Kv motor if I were you, 10.000 rpm is about the maximum before cavitation will occur.

On 3S that would be a motor with about 1000Kv, something like this for example:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__12921__D2830_11_1000kv_Brushless_Motor.html

With 10.000 rpm the boat will still be blistering fast, and when running partial throttle, the motor (and ESC won't heat up so fast, something Jorgen has some issues with).

If you want to avoid overheating the outrunner, a watercooled motormount is the way to go.

If you have doubts, 10.000rpm won't be fast enough, check out my MAS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-igDcvLySEM&feature=youtu.be
(turn up the volume really high)

Regards, Jan.

Hi Jan

I'm not quit sure what setup Jorgen is using right now.

I'm used almost the same setup in my wife's Classic, and it goes like h... with 3s. and a Hydroprop from graupner with no heat problems, video is with 2s.

But I'm always open for input and the next few days (week) will be in the varnish corner, so I will look into other solutions :-)

Hi Carsten,

If you feel that combo on 2S isn't quick enough, by all means try 3S, it will be silly fast...

I'm looking forward to the video.

Gents, just to say thanks for the information in this thread. My winter project is to build a semi scale MTB.
http://www.myhobbystore.co.uk/product/16872/black-marauder-mm840
 
I was wondering about a motor, battery, prop combination to power it and the information in this thread has made my job a lot easier, thanks.

@Jan

If the water is flat next Sunday I will try to get some video with 3S, I have tried and once before and it almost took off due to the waves.
I will also try with a lighter 2S battery, the one we uses now is approx. 450grams.
But it's my wife's and she is still afraid to do more than ½ gas on 2S.

Regarding the build of Phantom, the next days will be sanding, sanding sanding so no updates until I get to the varnish part.

Power wise I think that I will go for a 1100KV outrunner with watercooled mount as used in this Diva http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHZgXuln4Fc

Batteries, 1100KV BL motor and water cooled ESC has arrived and waiting for the water cooled motor mount.

Due to a knee problem and some strong pills  %% nothing has been done on the build  >>:-(

Looking good!

I also like your solution of cooling the base of the outrunner with what's commercially available.

I know, I recognized it as the same cooler used in the boats from Dragon (ARPRO a.O.), of which I have two lying around here.

Hi Tica,

The outholder for the rear bearing, in front of the prop, has a lot of drag in it's present shape.
See if you can streamline it a bit more (forward) to reduce the drag.

Also, the angle of the propshaft looks rather steep in the pictures, but this could be due to the camera position...

Hi Jan

Outside hull is not yet finished so I will address the P-Station before paint.

The angel of the propshaft is identical with Jorgen's so I guess that it will work, I uses another type of prop than he do.

This weekend I'll attend a Hobby exhibition in Copenhagen so no work on the boat but some good time with friends.

Next week is vacation time so hope to do some work on the model.

A bit more progress.

The instructions showed that I should use a thin strip of mahogany between the strips but I opted for a thin strip of 0,25mm black styrene. IMO it looks much better.

Almost there just need some minor touch up and the ESC to be safely fixed.
