Lola

Sat Jun 6, 2009, 11:46 AM
I'm even more excited about Lola's test drive tonight after messing around with her in the pool. I literally almost lost my swimsuit, that's how fast she pulls without dive gear on. :) Oh heck yes! (several weeks of work and quite a lot of money might finally pay off!)

Before: [link]
After: [link]

New:
rear bulkhead
body seal
bulkhead seal
shaft seal
bearings
front shroud
front plate
charging adaptor
charger
tailcone
relay
reed switches

removed the weed guards, drilled holes inthe triggers for pins (to keep the blades from spinning on accident) removed capacitor which prevents smart chargers from working, completely new wiring with both triggers activating the motor, removed front light and replaced with aluminum plate, re-RTV'd in the tailcone and front plate...

:iconredhotkiedis33: named her Lola, though another buddy wants her to be called Sakura. I was going to add on his suggestion of Mioa, but it didn't fit on the front so....

I have many nicknames for her, but Lola is not one of them. :) Lola is a Tekna DPV for scuba diving.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
