Asked what color would I paint it .. couldnt make up my mind, so I didnt ....

nothing is secured here yet.. all placed for cog setup

Bullet camera on strut upright is for OSD from esc logger(inbuilt)
Made a micro dvr , transflash card 4Gb, HD 1920x1080 for rear 'tacklebox' compartment
Very agricultural(basic) but does a fine job of watching the startled ducks .....

First runs returned 73mph (116Kmh). .. on 6S .. . with a P250 !
Asked andym to prep some finger choppers for

That's my own design esc nestled in there ..... links in signature show 2 different build esc in action .. the P rig has build V4 .... this latest tub esc is V9

Nice mate, hope you get some vid when you go testing this week.

That first pick makes it look like the tub is twisted, must be my beer filled eyes

mine too. .but the straight edge of the beer carton says diff.

oh, btw .. tub decreases from OAW of 110mm at front boom to 95mm at nose.. p'raps that's the beer factor .. someone being heavy handed on the belt sander ?

Down the river today.
dude on top has a surprised look !

[andym]

Nice mate, now are you going to tell everyone about today ?? My lips are sealed but................

c+p from email to andym

took me 2 days to secure him to the decking !
hollow flimsy dude now has carbon mat scrunched up inside.. about 10ml epoxy.. a bolt protrudes from a plastic baffle plate.. epoxy poured in and rolled him abouts then held him right side up so epoxy flowed to cover plastic baffle later removed.
He now has a 5mm spine and CF skeleton !
didnt get a chance to test properly today.
I fnucked up prog of esc and set LVC for 9S !
Launches from shore in limphome mode ( 30%) and cutoff after lap 1 or 2.
Fkn frustrating coz didnt bring laptop...
Confused over problem I drove home got gas kit and resoldered everything at waters edge 'knowing' it wasnt a esc internal flaw.
No, I didnt grab the laptop, coz I knew it was an external issue.
Doh.
external issue was me !

Funny I thought that was your bull*!***!***!***!**e meter !! Seems our threads create SO much interest, no wonder we tend to stay on S&K thread.

Rotor sensor??? I thought the back emf does that ? You know me though, good at lifting heavy things just not to bright !
