Hi captainslog

The plan I have is boat number 2574 with formers.

Harry Smith

Hi

I have a PDF full plan of Vic Smeed's Vosper 68' RTTL if that's of help.

Harry Smith

PM with your email address if you require it.

Hi All

The boat required a repaint, so I added 3mm chine rails which cut down the water spray and improved the turning!!!

OOPS !!!

Now bind your receiver into your transmitter and you should be setup.

Label the receiver as Model 2 and boats name .

Harry Smith

PS the Flysky I6 is the same unit and receivers are the same !!!

Banggood have a self center kit as well as coloured knobs, switch nuts and switch covers.

HI Andy

I have a PDF copy of the Aerokits plan which I can send you.

Message your email address.

Harry Smith

Graupner and MFA have charts you can download.

540 rock Crawler motors have specs, but mainly on 7.2 volts(2S Lipo batteries).

Hi Peter

The hydro prop may work, but add power on slowly at low speed.

I had the old Hobbyking outboard of the F1 tunnel hull.

The outboard was on a deep vee and set as above.

Once set right to boat sat up on the prop in a straight line !!!

Harry

Hi Peter

Try lowering the outboard, so the prop can catch more water.

Also check U Tube, you may see something that they have setup.

Which Hobbyking outboard is it ???

Harry Smith

Hi Martin

I use the Quicrun 60 Amp car/boat (with reverse) for 2 and 3S Lipo with link setup.

Simple,cheap and easy to use.

The 540 brush motors 35turn 13000 rpm on 7.2 volts(2s), 45turn 9500 , 55turn 7700, 65 turn 7000 and 80turn 5500 rpm( rpm is unloaded).

If your require rpm on 3S divide the rpm by 7.2 , then times that by 11.1 for the rpm on 3S.

The same if you require the kv rating on changing to brushless.

Rpm divide by volts equals kv !!!

Hi Chris

20 people turned up with 3 more jointing the club !!!

The boat hull was OK, lost all the wheelhouse.

Just one big gust of wind caused all the mayhem.

My rescue add on to the barge saved a few bits.

But one of the members is a diver, so we hope we find it on Wednesday if the weather is OK.

We have had sunny weather but we a lot of wind.

Hi Chris

Hi Kevan

Files on the way via We Transfer.

Plus a few others!!!!

Harry

Hi Kevan

I have the build and info booklet on PDF, but it's a large size !!!

I can send it via free We Transfer, no problem !!!

As Empire said the build booklet is not much cop.

Message me your email address, so I can send them.

I have two of the smaller ones which I rebuilt.

I had the wooden kit(unstarted) but sold it to a club member.

Hi Richard

That's knot wet that's liquid sun shine !!!!

Harry

Hi All

Totally agree with Chris E !!!

A good example is the banggood hobby surpass brushless motor, standard 540 motor mount.

Weight 132grams, 5mm shaft , a pick of three kv types.

Size 35mm diameter ,42mm long and handle 7-15volts(2-4S Lipo batteries).

The 1000kv 750Watts 55Amps.

The 1250kv 850Watts 65Amps

The 1450kv 1050Watts 76 Amps.

All Watt ratings are on 4S batteries.

I have a 30" Huntsman with a 1250kv on 3S and a good turn of speed.

Tested on 4S which turns it a bit of a speed boat!!!

As for brush motors the rock crawler ones are the only ones I found good specs on !!!

All on 7.2 volts(2S).

35 turn 13000 rpm, 45 turn 9500, 55 turn 7700 , 65 turn 7000 and 80 turn 5500.

The 80 turn I use in my fishing boats and handles up to a 3 blade 60mm prop.

Boat size about 860mm long( 2 Helens,1 Eileen and a French fishing boat).
