Midwest Missile 2 Outrigger

[Whipper Dipper]

Here's some pics of my revamped Midwest Missile 2 Outrigger Hydro. Richard VanHuesden lays up the fiberglass tub and cuts the sponsons out of solid balsa then laminates them with birch ply. I cut out some 1/8" birch ply for the engine rails and laid down some carbon fiber cloth in the engine bay just to stiffen it up. I'm running a Quickdraw 25ht and using Rum Racing hardware. The video link was my first time out with the boat running in the low to mid 70mph range. I have since made adjustments and found a killer prop combo for this boat. She's a screamer! http://www.rcuvideos.com/video/Midwest-Missle-II

I also have a very old rigger that is all balsa wood just alittle out dated but a friend give it to me i just havn"t done much with it yet it would be just for fun boat I like all of your fast boats maybe some day i will get good V hull it wont be a pro boat i was looking at a bonzi hull since they are built here in Indiana i just drive 3 hours and look at the boats in person.
