I stumbled across your videos and let me say there awesome. I'm normally into off road RC and giant scale aerobatic planes, but now i find myself making my own plans for a 1/8 scale hydro. the last month I've been breathing eating and sleeping 1/8 scale hydro. so basically, what I'm saying is you inspired me to build a boat that normally just thought they were cool. I live in Oregon and would love to come up and watch some races some time and maybe join the club at some point. keep up the great videos.
Thanks Gary. If you're serious about coming up there's no better time than this weekend! We race our RC hydros on a pond right next to the full size H1 boats running this weekend. You get to see everything!

I've never build a boat
I've never driven a boat
but I like watching you build a boat
so that one day I might build a boat
I've never built a snowmobile
I've never known there were RC snowmobiles
But I don't like the cold
So I probably won't build one!
@@M5PerfHydros dude, I like your style😂👍
Great tips for locating and aligning the turn fin and drilling holes without breaking out wood (which I do all the time).
I'm glad it's helpful!
AHA! I learned something new today. Never seen or thought about the burr bit before, That's pretty cool. I usually just clamp a scrap piece on the back to eliminate blow outs.
Love this build series, takes me back. Great job, i can smell everything your doing! Ahhh..
Scratch 'n Sniff video?
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos Joseph... Now go build a boat!
@@M5PerfHydros I would if it weren't for progressive ms. I was hit with it when i was 42, now 55 I'm barely hanging on. An rc addict since i built my first plane at 12 years old. I still own everything from multiple aircraft, several large scale heli, race boats, airboats, 1/5 scale gas 4wd off road racers and a few electric ones etc. Over my life I've spent an easy 250k, maybe more. After two wives i managed to keep both homes and was looking at a comfortable future. Both my sister's lost their battle with the same disease. I've enjoyed watching your channel, like you i would modify my models to get the performance i was after. Anyway enough of this bummer story. I'm living vicariously threw through you
Man, so keep up the good work! I'm right there with ya...
Sorry to hear that Joseph
Glad to see U figured out a camera mount so U can use both hands to do work another great vid Scott
Thanks Tom, it's a GoPro strapped to my forehead. A little awkward but it'll do. I'm glad to hear that you like the results because I was wondering if guys would like to see more of these 'hands-on' style of videos.
@@M5PerfHydros
Hum isn't that what I suggested a couple of months ago LOL
@@tomgracey5087 - I'm not quick, but I can be taught!
Boat coming along. Looking good. Thanks for the tips and the videos.
You're welcome Gregory, thanks for watchin'!
I did good, I was awake at 10 min. LOL Interesting take on TF install.
Ha ha! Was I?
Hi Scott, re: making a remark on tube install vid. I have found using ptfe inner tube for flex cable working a charm. This tube found inside pneumatic high temp pipes. I rely on ptfe's natural lube, no lube added. Running like this for past 5 years with no probs, using zenoah 26cc in cat hull. Very nice vids you give. Thx Baie ZA.
That's interesting. I've used Teflon lined tubes before but still had to grease it to avoid failure. The ones I had used had a very thin liner... Are you using a thicker liner? I also wonder if rpm has something to do with it. Nitros turn 28k+ rpm but most gassers are less than half that.
Thanks again for the idea. I'll think on it!
@@M5PerfHydros
Scott, my gas boat only peaks at +-18k rpm. Have not tested higher rpm. Must admit that it feels naturaly slipperly to the touch. If we had to pull both ends it would slip out of hands. Tube comes with s/steal braided outer when bought which I then remove. Greetings Basie
Sweet looking Bracket!
Thanks!
yes i set them on my boat and they look great thank you very much about ready to put the deck on and then paint i love building boats but hate to paint
What a beautiful build!
Thank you!
Hi from South Africa Scott. Really appreciate your movies and can’t wait to see your boat tear up the water. Where can I get some plans for this gasser. Regards Dave
Thanks Dave, I'm glad you're liking the videos. I'm looking forward to finishing The Gasser too!
So here's the thing... I don't want to make the plans available until I find out if the boat works well. Hang tight... If it's a winner I'll let you know
I learn something every time!
Me too, like don't drill a hole through your finger!
@@M5PerfHydros That one made me smile, for sure!
Great vid once again, fin and mount look SWEET.
Thanks!
another great video thanks for the pipes and blower hats
You bet. Glad you got the parts. Do you think they'll look ok on your gasser?
@@M5PerfHydros yes i set them on the boat and it looks perfect thank you very much cant what to see yours done i am about ready to put the deck on mine and then paint i am like you i hate to paint
SO, Location ofthe turn fin and the rudder. In talking to Scott Pierce, having the rudder on the opposite side from the turn fin will set the fin harder when it starts turning. He said when he was with The Bud, they figured that out.
At least that's what Scotty told me.
I think I agree, though it's a subject that has tortured my brain for quite some time. Someday I'm going to build a setup that will allow me to adjust the rudder side to side quickly so that I can do some back to back testing
Oh on response to square drive end is pressed at about 30 to 40ton pressure I use. Made my own tool for this. Thx Basie ZA.
That sounds about right!
Beautiful fin 👍
If you can't beat 'em, look awesome trying!
Never built an rc boat or seen a rc hydroplane run .but find your video very interesting .will we see it run ? Hopefully race ? WIn !!
Oh it'll run for sure, but win? I dunno... Hope so!
Thanks for watching!
Nice hardware!
Gotta look cool!
Another great one! That fin look really good. Want do you use to get that nice satin finish? Soda blasting maybe?
Handiwork... And 3m pads!
Sharpen a nail to a needle point similar in size to the drill your are going to use to drill the pilot hole , it will go will never split the plywood or any wood used, and as a bonus you will not need to drill your fingers ever again .It works on the hardest of wood types with moderate pressure , a bit more on rock maple , drilling 1/8 ply is like going through a notebook page .
I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean it should be heated to burn through, or cut the head off and use the nail as a drill?
If you wanted to turn left and right would you mirror image 12 degrees on both sides ?
Huh... I don't know what that would do!
I think if you really wanted to turn right and left with a hydroplane you'd probably need to put a keel right in the middle
Scott, where do you get the angled aluminum with the radius added? Home centers just have basic angle alum.
Here's the one you want;
High-Strength 7075 Aluminum 90 Degree Angle, 1/8" Wall Thickness, 2-1/2" Outside Height
www.mcmaster.com/9178T23
What stock do you use to make mounts? How do you make sure it is square?
My turn fin and rudder brackets are 1/8" 7075 aluminum angle that I square up on the mill. Most of the angle stock is less than 90° between the legs, which irritates me by the way, so I press the parts to 90 before drilling. Is this what you were wondering about?
@@M5PerfHydros Yes. I didn't think you just used plain stock. Thank you!
привет. какую фанеру вы используете ?
Finnish birch from Aircraft Spruce
www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/wppages/finnishbirch.php
What size of angle aluminum do you use for your turn fin bracket?
It's 1/8" x 2.5" 7075, cut and milled. Available from McMaster Carr
Here ya go; High-Strength 7075 Aluminum 90 Degree Angle, 1/8" Wall Thickness, 2-1/2" Outside Height
www.mcmaster.com/9178T23
Are your turn fins 2.5" wide also
What grade of aluminum are u using for the turn fin and how thick is it
Also not to sound like a dumb ass but could u possibly do a short video on multiple nitro fuel tanks and on how to fill them.
Im still here as you said, but not because I'm a real boat builder...lol I couldn't afford it if I wanted. Love the work you do and they look amazing, but its more like a "rich mans hobby". No offense meant by that, just saying the average person cant afford these. It makes it hard to get into the sport/hobby.
Mmmmm, yes I suppose that's true on some level, but I think it's getting better. The 10th scale electric classes as an example are pretty darn cheap. A guy should be able to have a very competitive 10th scale for about the cost of just the motor for a nitro boat.
Thanks for watchin' anyway, I'm glad you like the videos!
@@M5PerfHydros Yes, I have looked at them. I'm in the process of building a 40" Wild Thing mono, I don't know how well its going to work using cheap 5mm RevolutionPly from Lowes. Been buying hardware here and there or making it when I can. I was planning on using a modified weed eater engine. Its my first boat so it might just sink, I don't know..lol
Ha ha... Hey you'll never learn unless you try!
Good luck with the build!
