Rich and me running the Cheetah twins. I knew I should have slipped my 6s packs in. That would have made up the kv difference in his motors and mine.

Larry's P sport hydro on a GPS run. The GPS showed just a little over 60 mph when the recovery boat brought it back in.

A round of P mono. These don't usually get recorded unless I'm sitting out the heat. Dave ran the camera for this one.

Here's something a little different. One of the little Hobby King "Skipper" amphibians that I picked up a couple of weeks ago when they finally came in stock from the US warehouse. This was actually a 4 minute flight but it was hard for the camera to keep up with it in the overcast condition of the skies today. It wanted to go invisible and overall, Dave did a pretty good job on capturing my 1st attempt at flying from the water.

Chris' big S-T hydro. It didn't handle the tumble on the back stretch really well. Kind of separated the seam between the hull and the deck in the front. Dave shot this video too since the hydro departed as soon as I landed.

Brian and Larry in a round of LSH. I think Larry must be cheating for the speeds he's getting.

Considering that Chris is pretty new to the RC boating scene, he's been bitten by the bug pretty hard. Here he is with his Popeye's hydro. I think it's a P sport.

Last one today. Another run of the Q sport hydro. Chris got lucky on the 1st airborne but not the 2nd.

I did not know how fast it was (I should have put a GPS in it)Originally posted by bill34207 View PostBrian and Larry in a round of LSH. I think Larry must be cheating for the speeds he's getting.
The 6 laps came in at 84 Sec. on the video
That would be a new record for sure.
My GPS run with the same hull setup for N2 was (6 lap run 83 seconds with a top speed of 55.4 MPH)
So it is very close to the same speed for LSH

Hey Dave. I just watched the video of the Avenger and counted laps. When you said that's about 7, it was really on lap 10.
One things for sure. It could make an "official" 4 minute heat with that setup.Comment

The Popeye is much better with those cutouts behind the sponsons, those couple times when it came out of the water 4 to 6 inches it would have been on it's back the way it used to be. It's deffinetly a lot tighter now, not near as floaty in the nose.Originally posted by bill34207 View PostConsidering that Chris is pretty new to the RC boating scene, he's been bitten by the bug pretty hard.

Sure was 10 laps Bill. Must have been sleeping on that one. With the temps and all I think it could take a larger prop.Originally posted by bill34207 View PostHey Dave. I just watched the video of the Avenger and counted laps. When you said that's about 7, it was really on lap 10.

I think we must have both been napping Dave. I thought it was about that too.Originally posted by HRC View Post
Good thing that last run of P that Doug and I ran didn't get taped. I'd hate to see how many laps that one was. He was pretty much running off and leaving me until his packs started sagging so it had to be a bunch of them.Comment

Ya Bill my batteries were toast good thing I pulled it when I did! On that first run I had way to much dual rate in my radio it kept wanting to cut the turn had to turn it down to 35% to make go around nice and smooth on the 2nd run!Comment
