    Kevin, the hull kits have come a long way from that alpha version you have. If you wanted a replacement, up to date model, let me know. Per alpha tester rules, you are entitled to an up-to-date hull.

    Anyone know how to tell if a BC solenoid is 6 or 12 volt? I did order and receive them last year, not sure in my stash which is which.

    Take the top nut off and pull the silver cover off the coil. The voltage should be written on the coil, at least on most of mine it is.

    Ok to run 11.2 volts through them?
    I did look at the solenoids, all except one were labeled 6. One had 12 (and I swear I ordered 4 of them). Of course they could be stashed somewhere in the shop...

    I run all my solenoids at 2x nominal voltage

    Gorilla tape on outside
    Going to do the steps backwards, will complete the hull and then figure out where all the internals want to go.
