I told Jan Sundstedt that i would give him an outboard motor for his Cyklon V.(~1/6 scale)
Because we all appreciate he have given us the chance to use his fathers drawings and make them in 1/5,2.
Kay01 was first out and did the CyklonVI, supernice build.
(Museum class if you ask me )
Because i'm not a good modelbuilder myself i "cheated" a bit.(Thanks Jan)
He had a couple of engine that he was interested in and i picked one.
MERCURY MARK 30H.
I have done my best, hopefully he will enjoy it and like it.





All my own pictures.
Best regards, Hasse.

Looking good, verry nice!

Very nice. I sent a full scale one to Sweden a couple of years ago. A couple of weeks ago I sent a Mark 40H and a 55H to Belgium. Both will be run on hydroplanes.

Hi David!
Thank you, do you remember the name of the gentleman who bought it of you in Sweden?
Best regards, Hasse.

Could it be Robert Sollare who is racing a Hal Kelly CU.

Sorry for the late reply. yes Robert is the one I sold the 30H to. I never new if he received the engine, he has some friends here in the US pick it up and send it in a container. Seemed like it took many months to get there. The engines to Belgium only to two weeks via air freight.

Here is a picture of the engine, I can supply more if you would like to see them.

It's a supernice motor.
Jan has got his motor and he was very excited, now he's of to Greece for a holiday.
Photos showing it with 2 different propellers, did he get both?
I hope i can get to some exhibition race in Sweden this summer.
Here are the participant list from this year, with boats and motors.
I'm specially intrested in the Schultze hull from 62 that might be a WR boat.
And of course beeing a Big Sweede, Crescent CS500.
