After the MPM105, here come the CT06 !!!

[Mathieu]

Hi all,

I will get a CT06 in the next few days and I would like to get advice regarding CoG placement.
Does the 10/15% off the afterplane length rule apply to this Hull?

The setup will be:
9S2P 5000 40C
TP 5650 850Kv
Schulze 40.160WK
No real idea of the prop, will start with a k60 I guess.

Also, I've seen beautyfull turnfin on the market place on wd200 website but wondering where can I find one because it's not listed anymore.

Thanks

Mathieu

[A.Wolff]

i would recommend this Prop :

[Jörn-Oliver]

Hi Mathieu

as far as i know my "old" "Spirit of Qatar" was the first ( and still the only ?) electric powered CT06 .

my setup was as follow

batteries : 10S2P 4500 40C ( one 10S Pack in each sponson)
engine : Plettenberg 370/50 ( 810 kV)
ESC : old Schulze 40/160
prop : custom made 3-Blade with 55mm and a pitch around 1.5

to your questions.

the skidfin i used and that worked best was based on the design of the skidfin of the real boats, selfmade from an alluminium plate

here`s a picture :

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/386243_328637993818535_1480763911_n.jpg

most important is, that you mount the skidfin absolutly parallel to the inner line of the stringer on the bottom of the boat ( i hope you understand what i mean )

the vertical angle a little bit less than the outer side of the sponson

the CtG on my boat was nearly exactly at the rear end of the skidfin. so around 8 cm back of the sponson edge.

the 60K prop is a good begin for your setup to find balance and performance. if you want to stay with an 9S Setup , later you should look about some props between 57 and 60 mm with not more than 1.5 pitch. Higher pitch will resolve in problems with starting and accelerating and will high up the current and loads on your ESC, motor and batteries.

if you have any further question, let me know. Even the boat is sold for a long time now ( i switched to 1/6 Scale ), in my opinion i still have some knowledge about this boat, what you should change and what you should take care about.

here a little video of my CT06 from different views, and with onboard cameras.

[Mathieu]

Hello,

Thank you for your advices.

Alex, noted the prop I'm might get one from you after first tests.

Jörn-Oliver, thanks for yours tips. I still don't have received the hull (which was set for an IC motor so I have to convert her to electric but that's no big deal) but I get back to you if I have any questions regarding the hull / placement of parts.

Great video ! I known the other one with onboard cams but I missed that one.

A friend of mine have an electric CT06 but he's still trying to set her up. I'll add the link to the last video (short because of coupler failure...) as soon as she is online.

The link : http://youtu.be/6NcbK9LU3Mo

If you have any pics or videos of your 1/6, fell free to share ! ;)

Hope to give you some feedbacks by the end off the august.

Hello,

Received the hull after a lot of troubles...


http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/Killin_Duck/Modelisme/CT06/IMG_20130722_164929_zpsab6bb207.jpg

Removed the engine inside (K30 RCMK) and ordered a motor mount from MBP.

Will start to work on the tail fins and rudder hardware by the weekend.

[Mathieu]

Hello,

Working on the CT06 as much as my spare time permit.
Decided to switch to 10S2P so I will have to prop down a little.

Will post pics of the actual state tonight.

[corsair_10]

Hello Mathieu!
I have started also a 1:8 Hydroplane project with my team mate. It is a MPM-107. But I'm still waiting for the hull. The engine will be a TFL5694/800 @10s. Prop I think a Propshop 5517/3, it is still in my collection. Don't worry the real size seemed more likely a 5515/3. Propshop is always a little big with there specifications. I think momentary about the right placement of motor, Batteries and so on, to get the right CoG. Also I think about Lipo 1p or 2p. If you have some pictures about your placements, it would be very friendly to get them into this forum.

best regards
Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hello Joerg,

Nice to see pleople building 1:8 hydroplanes.

You can find pictures of my build here : http://s169.photobucket.com/user/Killin_Duck/library/Modelisme/CT06

This is a public album so you should access without problem. Let me know if this is not the case.

Regarding the prop, I will start with a x455/3 and work from that one.

Greets,

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hello Mathieu!
Nice pictures on your side. It's a very interesting possibility to mount the strut. Mostly you see a mounted strut at the backside of the boat. This option is more scale. Do you have any problems here to seal the breakthrough in the bottom of the boat ? How do you made this ? What hardware did you use, is it this one here ? www.accu-techrchardware.com (http://www.accu-techrchardware.com)

best regards
Joerg

[Mathieu]

Thanks Joerg.

The breakthrough was made by the man who sold the hull to me. The boat was supposed to be powered with a gas engine so the hull didn't need to be water tight at this time.

I still don't have made her maiden run, so I don't know if my solution will work : I'll use aluminium tape to seal the breakthrough. I may also make a strut holder like MTC sell but can't access the site to get the link.
Anyway aluminium tape will be used for the maiden run, I hope to find another solution ASAP.

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hello Mathieu!
Yes, the webside of MTC is down at the moment. I am also have no access to it. All my other models drive with MTC hardware and I think, I choose for my hydro also MTC. It's a good quality and you will get every time spare parts for your hardware. I'm still looking for a nice, scale turnfin, otherwise I take the Dremel and a piece of stainless steel and make it by myself.
Do you use a additional cover between hull inside and main cover to hold it dry during driving ? I will show you some pictures and reports about the actual building status, when it is getting started.

best regards
Joerg

[Mathieu]

I forgot : the hardware come from Speedmaster but I don't like the turn fin so I will get one from a guy in USA met on International Waters forum.

I also own MTC parts and quality is second to none. I got the hardware with the hull but if I had a bare hull, it would have been hardware from MTC.

I made a hatch out of plywood to close the opening in the hull. Maybe I'll mold one with fiberglass this winter.

Waiting for your pics ;-)

Mathieu

[Mathieu]

Hi all,

I wonder where I can find a front flap for the CT06.
I should be able to made one out of wood but I'd prefer a fiberglass or so one.

Greets,

Mathieu

[MiSt]

You might use a blade from a helicopter. There are symmetric ones (for acrobatic flying) or non-symmetric ones. If you are lucky, you may get fragments for free :laugh: and start experimenting.

[Mathieu]

Thank you for your reply. That's a great idea ! I'll see what I can find.

Greets,

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
The hulls (MPM-107) for me and my friend has arrived yesterday. The quality seems to be very good. Now we are looking and planning for constructions, build in's and so on. Now we can look for detail solutions.
So I come to my first 3 questions:
1. Where did you have placed your strut ? Is it mounted under the hull (scale like) or is it mounted at the rearside of the hull, parallel to the rudder ?
2. Where is the position of your Cog ? I heard something about approximately 5cm behind the frontly swimmers. Do you see it also ?
3. What kind of turnfin and mounting solution you are using ?

thank you & regards :thx:
Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hello Joerg,

That's a good news !

Regarding your questions :
1 - the strut is placed under the hull like the scale1 hydroplanes. Not the easiest way to go but I like the way it looks. On the MPM105 the strut was behind the transom and it worked, but not looked scale. I ended making my own brackets out of a stainless metal sheet to be able to seal it properly.
2 - regarding the CoG, at the moment I placed it at about 8cm behind the sponsons but I guess I have to move it forward some more. On the MPM105 the CoG was 5cm behind the sponsons and it the hull was prone to flip, so each hull is different.
3 - for the turn fin mount I use the L bracket provided with the Speedmaster fin, but I ended changing the blade by one made by mini-meca RC. He made this blade with my own specs and looks like a scale1 one. The first one made for the MPM105 was 4mm thick, and the one for my CT06 is 3mm thick = less thickness means less drag but is still thick enougth to don't bend. I also have a blade made by a man met on InternationalWaters board but this one doesn't looks scale at all.

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
I had first contact to your dealer mini-meca rc. I ask him if he also delievers to germany, and he does. The Scale Turnfin looks very good, but I think you are right if you say 3mm are enough thickness. Sometimes you can see that the boats rises up at the turnfin and mostly it ends with a flipover. The speed is not so the important thing for me, my favourite concern is a good looking "drive picture" at a scale like speed (100-110 km/h).

regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hi Joerg,

Here are some shots of the turn fin and the strut mounts.

The strut mount is not very sexy but is very strong and waterproof, and that about all what I ask him.

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
Very nice and helpful pics. There are some nice solutions to see. I hope, that I find the time to send you some pics of our hulls this weekend, but in the moment they are still empty.

regards Joerg

[corsair_10]

Hallo Mathieu !
Here are the promised pics of the MPM-107 by Peter Muehleck. It's a really good quality and the hull design is by Chris Tonn. Usually best preconditions for a good running boat. The shown motor is a Plettenberg Terras, the biggest model of plettenberg. It makes 650kv and will run later @14s. That should be power enough :). Do you have experience with radio controlled wings and frontspoilers ? It's a idea of us.
regards Joerg
656276563065631

[Mathieu]

Hello Joerg,

Thank you for the shots. The motor sure looks enougth power to get lightning speed !
Don't know about the weight but it should weight twice the motor I use !

The finish looks very good form what I can see, always pleasant to not have to spend hours and hours filling holes and sanding...

Regarding the radiocontrolled front wing (the back one is fixed on scale1 hydros) my friend who own a CT06 is on this project. At the moment he is making the hardware to mount and fix the servo to the front wing (and building a front wing also...) and plan to test his system with the third channel. Next step will be to had a gyro to the system.

On my side, the best I will do is make a front wing but won't use any remote control for modifying the angle : back to shore add some angle and test ;)
But a remote controlled front wing or even better a gyro controlled one sure looks sweet ;)

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
That's the trick of a radiocontrolled frontwing. My experience is, that you need another adjustments of the wings in the launch phase than in the fullspeed phase. A automatic mode of adjustment via mixer or gyro would be perfect.
Tip ! Normally you can use a blade of a helicopter as a frontwing.

regards Joerg

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
I've a further question. I saw in your pictures that you have mount your strut a little out of the centerline. This displacement should work against propwalk and so. How much cm do you displace it ?

regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Yup,

Yes the driveline is offset 11-12mm to the right. Yes it's to counteract the prop walk and tendancy to steer right and for now it works with the X455/3 prop.

Don't know if there is a need for more.

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hello Mathieu !
I hope you had happy christmas days and a good start in 2014. Belonging to my hydro activities, so is no further practical progress. Only the planning in my mind is growing up more and more. But I will start soon.
So I think, I put the cog 6cm behind the sponsons as default. But I don't have all hardware parts to balance the boat to this cog and so I have to wait until I have all parts together. My last order was 2 Lipos 5s 8000mAh. The weight is 1054gr. each. I will put them as far as possible in front of the boat, but not in the sponsens. We will see if it balanced at last. The sponsons are planned for placing a servo to drive the front wing.

regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hello Joerg,

Thank you, hope you had good Christmas and new year days.

Regarding the CoG, I don't know about your particular hull but the "6cm" value don't look bad.
If you are able to place the motor forward enougth you may be able to place your the CoG where you planed. I want another way with placing motor in the back and Lipo packs in the sponsons but this is certainly not the only way to go.

My friend who build a CT06 also is planning to do the same with the front canard. Love the "Hi-Tech" approch but I'll won't do the same :D

Have nice brainstormings, it's at least half of the work !

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hello Mathieu !
I've a further question about mounting the strut. Tell me your distance between the underside of hull and your propshaft. I ask because MTC offer a short and a long version of the Strut III. What is the right one ? The normal strut has a length of 66mm and the short version has a lenght of 50mm.
You can see it on this homepage: http://www.modellbaucenterlorenz.de/catalog/index.php?cPath=1_28&osCsid=eoc54c0bceqh2kg6rhoetrifb6

67111
regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hi,

I can't give you the measurement under the hull because I disassembled the boat to sand the defects and get it painted.

I try to attach a photo of my actual strut but I'm getting trouble with german interface :D

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/Killin_Duck/Modelisme/CT06/DSCN4235_zps2b2fca2e.jpg

The center of the screw on the strut mount is at about 20mm from the inside bottom of the hull, don't know if I'm clear enougth...

Regarding the MTC strut, I'd say the shorter the better but you may have to remove some material anyway.

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hi Mathieu !
That was info enough. The picture of the strut and the the picture underneath your boat show me enough to decide which strut I will buy. I take the 50mm version. Now I order the last items and then I will start slowly to build up the boat. I'll take you up to date.
Thanks to you.

regards Joerg

[erevo10]

Hello Jörg,

cool, you're not alone! There is a tandem wing.
The Somkin´ Joe's is a little older, but super built:

Teras 50, 2 Winder (950 U/V)
10S2P 4500 mAh
Schulze 32/202
Prather 240 reduced to 51mm

=> current speed, not fully extended (the lake is too small) = 60mph

Hello Mike,

Nice Tandem Wing !

Any chance to get a video off her running ?

Hello Mike !
Do you have buy this boat RTR from Jens ?
Is that the same boat ? :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FaNlFSm78k

Joerg

[erevo10]

Hello Mathieu,

no, I drove only 5 or 6 times, but Joerg is right.
I bought this boot from Jens, and he drove this
in the Video.
It. was a great luck for me to get this Tandem
Wing form him. I never see a Hydro run so great
and so fast straight ahead.

P.S.: Den verstellbaren Frontspoiler würde ich lassen, den reißt es dir beim Abflug
weg. Lieber fest verschrauben!

Mike

[Mathieu]

Nice boat Mike.

Looking plenty fast on the video !

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mike !
Congratulations to your boat. It's running very well. This video was decisive for me to buy this hull.
The RC-adjustable frontspoiler should be a later feature. I'm still thinking about the construction. I will realize it only, when I have a good working and robust idea. The maiden run will be without a frontspoiler.

best regards
Joerg

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
Because some wishes of some guys to write a building status report, I transferred my explainations about my building progress in a other category of the forum.
I will inform you about progress nevertheless here in english, or are you able to read my german report in "Bauberichte" ?

Hope the painter will do a good job. I didn't asked for an absolute scale paint but something that's looks like the big one. Should see the result in 2 weeks...

In the mean time I'll work in my Baby SV and maybe on my 1:10 scale wood kit I started 1 and half year ago...

I'll keep you posted ;)

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
I am also drive a Baby SV from Andy, very nice Boat. My Baby SV looks like the "Lucas Oil" design. Top Speed is actually 110km/h with 6s2p. I think there is a little more possible, but so it's enough for me. Some guys from Berlin and Andy said, that is the first good running electrified Baby SV they have seen until now.
Setup:
2x Leopard 5674/1550
2x ESC Turnigy 180A
2x MTC Strut III
1x MTC Rudder III
Props are Octura X-450/3


regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hi Joerg,

No paint scheme for my Baby SV so far.
Mine is not built the same you did : single motor and long run time in mind. So I use an outrunner with 560 Kv with 10S2P 5000. The goal is to get close to the running time and speed compared with boats powered by a stock Zenoah engine.
So no 110 km/h here :D

Greets,

Hi,

Can some of you explain how to make the fake turbine exhaust with LEDs please ?

I know Mike have one on his Tandem Wing and you can see almost all 1:6 scale electrics have it also.

I'm asking because a friend of mine just received his MPM-107 from Peter and he would like to make the fake turbine exhaust. Cherry on the cake would be this effect : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=414944611854539&set=vb.100000170115990&type=3&theater

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
I've mounted the turnfin now. I ordered the same one like you at mini meca rc. It is adjustable from 0° to 15° degree. I read approximately 7° is a good default angle.

best regards
Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hello Joerg,

What thickness did you ordered ? 3 or 4mm ?
Where the point come from ?

Can't wait to see more of your build ;)

Greets

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
That is the standard one with 4mm. I will see how it works and when I get any problems, I make it thinner by myself.
I 'm actually think about the positioning of the mounting bracket. I mounted the turnfin at the outer side of the mounting bracket. Is that right ? I heart, you have to mount the turnfin at the inner side of the bracket, so the water could raise up along the turnfin without any resist. Also the side length of the mounting bracket is along the whole length of the turnfin, I think, I will shorten it a little bit.
OK, that are all peanuts, but in summary it could be have an influence.

regards Joerg

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
I changed the mounting bracket. So I'm able to fix the fin at the inner side of the bracket and the water can raise up without any resist. The adjusted angle is 7° degree at the moment. This should be my default adjustment for the maiden run.
68698

[Mathieu]

Hello Joerg,

Your second installation is better I think, but will the mount be strong enougth to not bend in turns ? Maybe you planned to fix the turn fin at his back ?

Keep up the good work !

I should get my hull from the painter next week....... Can't wait !!!

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
You are right, I am still waiting for the material to retain the fin against the hull. I'll use 4 rod strainer like this

68736

regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Yeah !

Love that !

I may add a couple to mine, but It would be "Just for the eyes" because my mount is thick enougth.

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hey Mathieu !
I use a 6mm mounting bracket. That should be strong enough. But additional retaining is not bad and is an pretty eyecatcher. I put all the hardware on his desired place today and the COG is 6mm behind the sponson. I think that is a good default value.

regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Ok your mount is definitely strong enougth but as it is shorter then the fin I was worried about the fin. With the additionnal rods, it will looks nice and be strong enougth !

For the CG you mean 6cm, no ?

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Yes, 6cm of corse :doh:

[Mathieu]

So it's good !
You didn't had to open the sponsons to place the lipos ?

If you can take a picture that show where the parts are located it would help my friend who's building one.

Greets,

Mathieu

Hallo Mathieu !

[Mathieu]

Thank you for your quick reply Joerg, I've forwarded you photos to my friend.

Mathieu

[corsair_10]

Hi Mathieu !
I'm still thinking about the mount of the T-Wing in the back. The mount should be strong enough, but it should also drawback in case of a flip over or crash. I need a predetermined breaking point for that. What is your solution ?
Sorry, but I talk with many people and the best solution for my opinion I will take.
My favourite solution until now is, a slit of 1,5mm into the hull and the sided wing. In the hull slit I laminate a cfk plate of 1,5mm. The cfk plate must be a little bit longer than the depth of the hull. It must be overlap approximately 5cm. Now I mount the overlap of the cfk plate into the sidewing and fix it with some plastic screws, M4 or so. The horizontal wing I'll fix between the sidewings also only with plastic screws. So in a case of a crash, the construction can loose and the destruction of the several parts is not soooo fatal I think.
What do you mean ?

regards Joerg

[Mathieu]

Hello Joerg,

I did almost the same but I used corner angle instead of just a plate.
I agree with what you wrote, I also use nylon screws as break point in case of flip.

I got my Ct back from the painter. Pleased with the result altougth the green is a bit too dark, but no big deal :D

Hey Mathieu !
Your boat looks so much better now. I'm always astonished, what an optical increase a little bit colour do. Congratulations to your new looking boat.

But, what do you mean with "corner angle" ?
Is it an Aluminium Profile with a 90° degree angle ?

regards Joerg

[stefys]

hello my friend

what to say ... except Magnificent

stefys :cool:

[Mathieu]

Hey,

Joerg, thanks for your kind words ;) You're right, some colors and the boat is not the same !
For the corner angle you understood correctly. A picture worth 100 words : http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41lRB-ZcI4L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

I used carbon instead of aluminium because I had some carbon prepreg, but aluminium is fine.

@ stefys : thank you mate ;)

I fail at uploading pics thru the forum interface :( I apply what Hans wrote here (http://www.rc-raceboats.de/forum/showthread.php?33263-MPM-107-by-St%E9phane&p=250206&viewfull=1#post250206) but it doesn't seems to work.

Hello all,

It's been long time since my last post. Made some more testings and finally switched from 10S2P 5000 to 10S1P 8000. I use lipos from HK and wonder what would be the benefit to order some packs from SLS or Dynamic RC (AGA Power) or maybe GensAce ? Will thoses more expensive brands means better performances and longevity compared to HK packs?

Greets,

Mathieu
