Had first outing of astra mm 2404 30 inch offshore racer.used a dynamite 3835 brushless with 120 amp hobbywing esc x40 prop 4 cell 4000ma lipo.rudder is good at speed but a bit slow off the plane.lots of nerves because of the cost of all the items but I loved seeing my boat perform

Wayne. Its what we build these thing for, bunging them in the water and giving them a good thrashing. Or at least, all my boats get a good thrashing.

When you say "slow off the plane" do you mean it is slow in starting to plane?​ or the rudder is an issue??

Nerves. Built in buoyancy and a method of recovery are what`s needed to calm nerves!

Picture would be nice if poss. Cheers

Boat lifts up to plane easily and runs perfectly flat.my balance point is about 1 inch forward of the plan, I thought I would try and see how it ran.at slow speed the rudder seems sluggish but a high speed its better.I will give it more movement for next time. Its my first electric boat with all new technology including the 2.4 ghz radio.It was all worth it.what a blast after glow and diesel boats when I was a teenager in 1974. Its hard to try all new ways at age 59. Sorry I cant figure how to upload a photo on my tablet. Thanks for your help in the past.
