RC Airboat

[dvonlangen]

that's pretty sick, im building one right now can't wait to run it

[benderiam]

move the engine back more that will bring the nose up

[MotorBros1470]

seems like the front is too far in the water so it wont plan properly. also you should add a stationary fin ton the bottom so it will move striaghter and not curve to one side. this will give you more control

sounds like its runnin a little rich..??

my old electric rc boat can go faster

[samsfiveo]

That thing is sloooooow! Plows the water like a gas powered brick! Try putting the motor on the box that the engine came in, it might be faster!

hey awsome boat if you wanted more controll over it you could put a rudder for it into the water attached to the rudder on the boat

[bavetta]

good idea - a drawback of that approach might be that you couldn't maneuver at low speed (?)

[vampboats131]

Engine sounds a bit rich trying tuning it go twice as fast

[bavetta]

thanks for the tip!

[plaxico666]

that looks pretty good

[vampboats131]

nice work last one is the best one its great when they work okay and you think i made that lol what engine you running a two blade prop gives better speed 3 blade more control i go for 2 blade i want speed lol

Great build! Deffinatly a good idea to increase the surface area on the water like you did on your 3rd test (i think).

[jackmanlol]

nice, heres a tip, dont use polystyrene its really draggy in water or just cover it in a smooth material.

[wheeliebars3]

VERY NICE!!! but i would get rid of the wood prop.. that shatter real easy

[bavetta]

we actually switched from a wood 2 blade to a plastic 3 blade in test 3. You are right, the wood prop was splitting and splintering because of water hitting the blades.
