Anyone Into Unlimited Hydros?

[Clugh]

I am. I have for over 30 years. I have several 1/8th scales a 1/12th and a 1/16th

This is a real wood Luan birch ply and Balsa scratch build fast electric 1/8th scale in progress now. that can be the Pak turbine yu have in the photo.

I grew up just miles from the Unlimited Hydros...Hearing the piston boats (the same motors that were in some of our most treasured WWII warbirds) in the 70's, that turned to the quieter whine of the jet turbines in the 80's. A total fanboy to be sure.

I am in the process of building my all-time favorite hydro...The 1982 Miss Pay N' Pak. The first ever turbine unlimited hydroplane. A 1/8 scale FE (Fast Electric) version. I was curious if anyone else here is into unlimiteds? Better yet, RC 1/8 scale unlimiteds?

If so I will be happy to continue this thread with details, info, video and photos. If not, no biggie, just checking to see if there is any interest.
