Well I got it out today but I never got it up to full throttle. I was very surprised on how effective the thrust vectoring was. I had a few runs with it and by the end I was getting the hang of it. Next I will reduce the throws and perhaps try with my digital radio so I can program some exponential rates.

That works almost too good, maybe a small rudder back on it so it doesn't spin out so easy. GOOD JOB!!!

Yeah, that's really turning! I like the idea of thrust vectoringOriginally posted by whalleyb0y View PostWell I got it out today but I never got it up to full throttle.

. Just thinking out loud here: besides a digital radio, may be one of those new Spektrum radio with AVC would help.
Too many boats, not enough time...

I think for starters I will reduce the throw on the servo arm and try this Orange 3-axis gyro connected to the steering servo. I got a few of these still kicking around from when I was using them in my jets. They did a great job of steering the jets straight down the runway on takeoffs. Perhaps it will have a similar effect in this boat?
