J.A.E .21 FE rear ski ?

[wuzofoz]

I use less than 3000 mAh during a one-mile heat plus mill, topping out at ~78 mph so any drag can't be too bad.
.

i agree completely with lap time is better then speed but that line says a hell of alot for a ski
i was running 6500mah batts in my rigger yesterday and was coming in with less then 40% left. i'd say topout was 60mph
to much work to fit one to my current tub so will see how i fell about them for the next build

She certainly was fast yesterday Wuz. Marvelous what a bit of turn fin & weight adjustment makes eh.

I have tested my riggers with and without ski's......and what I can say with no doubts is that they love their skis...as more precisely mentioned in turns!

I am running abc h5. Cupped. Not much. 2800 kv

Thank you.

I'm not sure what prop Damien was running on his JAE 21, But if you were asking about my Kep's hybrid, I was using a Prather s225 in the last test run before I hit a buoy & broke a spar. I haven't had a chance to try my ABC H series props yet. The motor is a 3674 2430kv TP motor.
New spars have arrived & I'll have it ready for our next test day.
The beauty of the Kep's drawings is that the Skis are designed to be attached with double sided tape, like the different length ride pads. So I guess I can knock one up at some stage & see what difference it makes.

Thank you Paul.

My JAE 21FE runs 12-second laps on the 1/6th mile oval, topping out in the high 70s on the straights. Runs a Castle 1415/2400Kv, a cupped H-7, and the ski. IMO a ski, or some kind of rear sponsons are needed for the best speeds especially in the turns.

FWIW, the fastest P-rigger in NAMBA (120 mph) runs rear sponsons.

That's impressive Jay.

who builds a good JAE to replace my current one?
