Zytiron 24E FE Hydrofoil

[Diegoboy]

I just scored this beauty last night and I can't wait to see her in person. I will be selling items to compensate (maybe not boat stuff though)
She's a Fast electric Hydrofoil called the Zytiron 24E by Ken cook of Hydrofoils inc. (http://www.hydrofoil.com/recognition.htm) (no longer made)

I found this old RC magazine for sale on Ebay. It has what looks to be a very similar (or the same) hydrofoil on the cover.

You may want to pick it up and read about it from back in the day.

[Diegoboy]

Yes, it's the very same model, Thanks!

Well post some video footage of this beast running

I used to own one before the days of brushless & lipos.

I sold it years ago... not sure what became of it. I only ran it teice I think before it collected dust. Sorta wish I still had it but, cest-lavie!

If you want to know anything just ask.

I still remember most of the concept of how it runs. Basically nose slightly down.

The video I had on VHS, I could look for that but, I might have sent it with boat.

Please take some picks of the riding surfaces for me. It will help in assisting if you need any that is.

I remember when they came out. I have that magazine if you want a scan a copy. Cool boat Trent had one but I never got to see it run.

What is important first off is that the metal ridiing surfaces are sharpened properly.

I will have to dig up old pics from when I sold mine. It will spark memory...

[RandyatBBY]

I bet this boat would do better with a SV27 motor and ESC with possibly 4S1P 5000mah to 6000mah. Or and 3S setup and a Leopard motor.
I would be careful of using lipo it may destroy the styrene hull combined with brushless.

[ray schrauwen]

It is not Styrene plastic that I recall, could be wrong,.... thought it was abs...

[Diegoboy]

She is here now. I am going to keep you updated as she needs some TLC (she flexes more than I'd like her to)
