    Servo for 36" long X `18" (at sponson) hydroplane from Steve's



    This hull is one I've been working on for nearly 6 year is shipsahoy fiberglass hull (that I wish I hadn't bought in hindsite) but I'm trying to put it together the best I can with no prior experience and living in a rural area.

    I'm not racing this boat just for fun and figure the best description it could be called sport 40. It is 36" long and 18" wide at the sponson and modeled after the Atlas Van LInes cabover.

    Any recommendation on a servo that would would meet the rudder needs of a RC hydroplane this size? I figure it probably should be waterproof and a 180 degree throw. Steve has a lot listed on his website. I figure I don't need the top of the line, just one that would do the job.

    Any selection advice is most welcome

    A 25Kg standard size servo like this one will do fine.

      Thanks a bunch for the servo recommendation . It's tough building one of these RC hydros in a vacuum. Nobody here in town does any RC boat, yet we have the vintage unlimted hydroplanes come here every year and the limited vintage boats too.
