New twin rigger

[grsboats]

SF's are working as good as Castle but Castle's datalogging is my personal preference.Send both motors for a buddy that is more experienced with Tp's and let's see what he says.I know Neu's motors are more expensive but worth every buck spent with them......Thanks Gill

Project is still alive just waiting for parts to be delivered from customs(this is really boring).In this mean time I'm testing a bunch of props with my single motor rigger and speed has improved a little...now 155km.I Hope have everything ready for our big event in mid october. video: http://youtu.be/WleEKsS5PbQ

some updates: boat is running great with the V's series but need to try more strut adjustments(really fine tunning) to compensate lift of propellors.top speed is right now at 106,3mph and will raise soon.During the last test session I suffered a very bad flip after hit a piece of wood but boat survived with no injuries...gps showed 154km at that crash.here some new videos:http://youtu.be/r4Mv35WCUDI and http://youtu.be/-9yTT_4B9eY.Next week our big event takes place and hope I have luck with the GRX fleet.Thanks Gill

Today we tested this girl with a different strut adjustment:1 degree positive with the V's and voilá she's flying with no flip tendencies.Despite been running riggers for years this is my very first experience with positive struts ...getting old and learning new things.Gill

hi gil, how did your meet go?

[grsboats]

Well meet went great and we placed three boats among winners of a total of eight GRX(single motors).My Twin ran only on SAW cause of lack of other boats and did very well with a 168,2km...not its fastest pass because the lake was short(500mts long).My single with TPpower improved speed to 157km on 6S and my GRX with Neu 1527 on 6S a best pass of 174km....Next weekend nitro and gas are the focus as I will compete with my GRX with a CMB 101 and the GRX with a Quickdraw.....hope have lot of action videos.
