How could you tell ? I never saw anybody turn a rigger left so many times ;-) Oh wait a minute I posted a video with Mike Hughes driving my JAE and he had a couple left turns too . What prop you running ? It looks almost as fast as a Stock UL-1 motor with an H7.

[Doug Smock]

Eric, I think we need to send him some hair so he'll be able to squeeze the throttle and keep it there.LOL BTW Your glass tub looks good!!

Just kidding Mike. Get out there and let the horses run!!!!

Hmm there's an idea Doug. As I get older I appear to be loosing it. I'll check my comb. Hey Mike give me you address, I'll send you some . Mike I found that with my JAE it takes very little rudder. I use a very short connection at the servo less than 1/4" from the hub and as far out as I can on the rudder arm. Also have found that setup by the instructions they will pull with acceleration or deceleration so try to keep the throttle pegged it will be easier to drive. I'd tell you how I minimized that but it is counter to the setup on ZipKits site and I don't need people telling me I'm wrong But My boat drives like a dream.

Pull that trigger and keep it pegged in the the turns! You will actually hear the boat say "Thank you!"....well, not really but it will look like it is......YAHOOO!!!

Thanks Doug. The prop is a 1440. It got bent up pretty good when the rudder came loose, haha

Looks much better! Turns pretty good when you keep the speeds up, huh!? I gotta dial some steering out of mine because it turns too good!...lol! I've shredded a few bouys on the course...he,he!

i run either a h-7 or pitched up 1450 with the 1415 1y with no problems...

[HOTWATER]

Chuck, you read my mind bro!...lol! I was wondering if you would chime in here since I knew you run that motor in yours (I thought it may have also been a 1515 1Y?...same KV anyhow)...I have only run the P-spec UL-1 setup in mine (IMPBA legal)...with a Sholund H-7...
