You are good!!!!


Apparently it was a dud. They are brilliantly quick as radio contoll models, but that doesnt translate to full size.

Is it a quill shaft for some type of big fire-breathing British aero engine?

Also, is that a wooden model boat... with a mouse trap attached to it... ???

Dave you are right. This is the beefed up one piece quill they make for racing. The amazing thing is I just stumbled on it.

[Dave88]

To be honest, I wouldn't of known what it was if I hadn't seen it mentioned the other day

I've got a trivia question that I don't know the answer to...

In terms of KT tunnel hulls, what does KT stand for?

[Bob Vic]

The designation KT comes from the US and relates to the APBA code for race boats. The K is used for unlimited engines (you will no doubt have seen the 'K boats' which are blown big blocks) and I assume the T is for tunnel hulls. I can't say that I've ever seen it written but this has been my understanding of the KT designation. Let me know if I'm off the mark.
