Own design to breathe a fresh new look into the Club 500 style of racing. A sharper hull design for better choppy water handling along with increased manouverabilty. 540 Motor, 9g metal gear servo and 2s lipo
Yes it went well. This was up to 3/4 throttle though was checking the esc and motor temps so wasn't pushing her too much. She hand a tendency to bank over left which went away when i changed to a smaller prop though i've since added trim tabs and turn fins. I have built another prototype for a speed400 motor to see how that goes too. I think the rudder could be the next area i make smaller. The rudder has a weak spot built in so if you hit something hard it breaks off without damaging the hull and can be easily replaced.
She's got a bit to go until i say she's ready though were getting there.
Nice maiden voyage, good turn of speed.
A bit light on the bow,but weight shift will fix that.
Our little club 500 is in trim back speed mode for our youngest member who is a bit of a speed devil.
As she is female it has a lot of pink on it !!!
Hi i have the maiden video link for Youtube. It was short and sweet as wasn't feeling well though will be back to the pond for a longer re-maiden as such next week. In this video it didn't have the trim tabs or turn fins that it does now
