V8Rider

Here is a link to video that was taken this past Sunday of my Twin Cat. I finally conquered the counter rotating engine that I have been working on for a month or so and this shows how it paid off. Now I can turn left under full power!!

Don't use this link as it does not work. Go down 4 posts to Ron's and clik on his link. It works. Thanks

Sorry, I know the video does not work. Someone just told me. I don't know how to fix it.
I sent the same link to an e-mail address and it worked fine? I don't get it. Maybe someone can tell me how to fix it?

Give me your You Tube screen name here or in a PM and I'll see if I can find the link. I tried V8Rider and it didn't work.

I guess that is part of the problem. I don't have a You Tube screen name. Wally took the video and sent the link to my e-mail address. I forwarded that e-mail to a frined and the link worked. So I put it here and it does not work??????????

OK, this is probably it then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4TyaV0xQvQ

Wonder how I found it? I had one of Wally's other videos saved in my favorites!

The only difference that I see between what I typed and what you have is a lower case V after the question mark. Would that make the difference?

V8Rider

Well thank you very much for making that work. Too bad people will have to read all this before they can see the video!

Thanks again,

Rick

No, you can edit your first posting then add that link to it.
That's one Sikk Cat! She sounds like it's got more in in yet.

What motors do you have mounted in your hull?

V8Rider

They are stock CY 26cc Sikk engines with one running clockwise.

Showtime- The props are 7016-3 SS from Voodoo. No changes to the transom except rudder linkage is now beefier.

Wally- Thanks again. I am really glad that I stuk with it and didn't give up. I knew it was do-able! Just had to find a way!

rcguy- The hull is an Expresscraft 60" Cougar Cat. The engine was a bit of a project. A lot of trial and error. It is mounted in the normal position. The crankshaft is turning in the opposite direction from stock. I did this with a different pull starter. I turned the coil around, modified the flywheel, and turned it around, and retimed it.

Phil- There are some pics already on here somewhere. I will try to find them and repost. I will also take some new ones first chance I get.

John- Thank you. A friend is starting a CCW Zenoah project also. Maybe I will have more info for you by then.

Phil,
There are five pictures here in the photo gallery. They are about eight pages back. They were posted 9/13/08 so you should be able to find them by the date. I don't know how to move them from the gallery to the forum? Everything still looks the same as it did then. The difference in the engine is only that the coil is mounted backwards.
