    16.5 " JAE rigger

    Took her on the maiden voyage today. I Think I don't have the CG correct. I will try again with the battery moved forward a little.

      What are you running in that little rocket it was hauling! Looks like you had to fish her out there at the end

        Feiago 380 7s 2s 2650 x432 detongued and back cut. Yeah I did have to fish it out. I had to fish it out on every run but the one in the video below. Sorry for the camera work. My cameraman is 11. I guess I need to tweak it a little to keep it from getting upset coming out of the corners. I will mess with the CG to see if I can correct it. Any JAE experts, I am open to suggestions.

          I like it!!!!
          You want 60% of the weight on the sponsons and 40% on the ski.
          Can you post some pics?

            You should send what you did back to the guys that build them so they can cut some for sale,it looks fun

                  Where'd you get the hardware, is it all custom made?

                    Looks great! You need to widen the sponson foot print and use a Miss Vegas turn fin. Please call Rod Geragthy,he would like to talk with you. Great job.
