Finished my Graupner ECO manta!!

[SweetZ28]

Well i finished her up...only thing i may do is make the holes in the hull so it goes back right side up when it flips over.
Anyhow this thing looks very cool!!
Enjoy.

Cool. I have always wondered how one of these ran? Any chance of a future video?

Hi Steve i will try and get a video when i run it... I am going to run on 6 cells but it's set up for 7 cells as they show in the sketches... I did cut the holes in the boat as they say and tested it in my pond and it does flip back over after you flip it on its top neat!!!

Steve do you know what props fit the graupners it's a threaded type?
Also should i put some floatation in this thing or is it notr needed since the wing without the holes i put in it is sealed and has air in it?

THANKS
