10-28-2010 06:07 PMWell, from what T2x indicates, it sounds like this design may have developed from a lot of theory and not modifying proven efforts. That's scary (and expensive). Why is their such a tight lid on the designed and builder or whatever?

10-28-2010 06:59 PMkind of funny t2x talks about gilbreathe, i wonder what would have been if another team listened to gilbreathe several yrs ago instead of "letting him go" in favor of the king of turbines.
between geico, jbs and phenom theres would have been enough $$$ for about 20 plus supercats and $$$ leftover to pay for TV, prize purse, ect, ect, ect....................................basically what is needed and what everyone talks about wanting!
sad but looking at today's realities, jbs crying about $$$ and not racing, geico is rumored to park the turbine and move to supercat class of some sorts and phenom, well.........
it will be interesting off season. maybe, just maybe something positive might happen????????

Ahhh yes but that would depend on rotation. With those hairdryers I do not think they would have trouble breaking the props loose...
What do you think inboard props, inboard rotation and outboard props, outboard rotation???

That's going to cost a couple bucks
Run until it sounds expensive

I wounder with all the knowledge from Dave S, JT, Mistic and Geico...
Could they have built a 50 to 55' cat with just 2 turbines and brake the record..or did they just want to do it with 4 turbines....
I would think with all that knowledge and experiance and Copelands money..
That would be the way to go...Last edited by MANITIE; 10-31-2010 at 04:49 PM.

They should copy a hull proven to go 200+ and loose 2 motors sounds like the way to go from the pros??
