UL-1 powered 68 Miss Bardahl

[Capt. Crash]

Hmmm, 36"- 27" = 9" is a bit more than a "couple of inches"....
Did the boat thermal in the video? If not, just two minutes of run time to LVC indicates a pretty high amp draw - what cells were you running?
.

Yea...I thought about that after I posted it and went home and measured again...I don't know what I was thinking...lol

No...I forgot to tighten the coupler set screw and had to rescue her.

I'm running MAX AMP 2s 5250 30Cs. I did notice a little less run time....but the motor was running about 110-115 degrees, everything else was under 100 degrees. Yes it will run a little hotter pushing this boat....especially when it gets 95 here this summer.

The whole reason for the UL-1 power was to save money on a receational/exhibition/fun boat. I got all the electronics, radio and hardware in her for about $200.00.

We have too small a pond to race these without killing ourselves on the the wall, the wildlife and/or each other. The pond is better suited to a smaller UL-1 class of racing.

I will be trying other props and cgs, but the strut is nonadjustable.

Thanks for the suggestions and kind comments.

Here is the Miss Bardahl Video with the long runs included.
