You've got your work cut out there Steven but if your anything like the majority of us you won't be happy until it's right!

10mm too short would be too much for me as well as I am sure it completely changed the shape of the front end which was so distinctive on these.

Good luck!

If I can get the front end near enough like the real thing I will be happy with it but Precedent were know for not making parts fit right and for parts being the wrong size,I can see some things being wrong on the Huntsman when I start on it later this year but I will get it built even if I have to alter bits to fit.


Decided to take a photo of the bits now than later so here is a Photo of the motors with there cooling coils,rudders,couplings,Brass Props L/H and R/H,Water in/outlets,Water pump,tubing.

Hi,
can i ask what size the model is as i'm currently trying to shoe-horn a torpedo 850 into the smaller all wood Perkasa, a project started many moons ago.
thanks, Jethro.

Hi Jethro mine is the 49" version which I got over 10yrs ago I also have a 46 1/2" Huntsman waiting to be built once this one is done,my two 19" propshafts arrived this afternoon so I am looking forward to fitting this lot into the boat.

I have decided upon using two 6v 10Ah Lead Acid Battery Pack wired together to give 12v 20Ah to power the two MFA 850,which I will get next month with a new charger for them and the two ESC.

Cheers,
i've got that Huntsman on stand-by and was thinking along the same lines regarding motors. Perkasa's been on hold for about 4 years and recently retrieved from a dark corner.Started sealing hull with light weight glass cloth
to strengthen balsa block bow.
