        Wayne what speeds do you need to win a race ?? What prop handles the best so far, did the V series have to much lift and cause any hop? I would work on the 1655 how about a ABC 2218

          V955 cavitated on launch to @50% when it caught and raced off.
          Handling was great.... setup with hub 5mm above rear spons... rig floated on air.

          When replacement rig is finished ( test rig RIP ).. will log several runs on large oval course (100km away) ... local test pond long and narrow.

          6S oval rigger is @125K+ on oval

          ahhh
          V955 100M(100yd) sprints, 6or7 in 2 mins and smoke escaped
          EagleTree wouldnt sync to the usb ..... so unable to give stats.
          Since made load shunt that feeds back to Tmp port for 0-300A readings in 1A increment.
          Ducks are fair game, but eagles ?

            do what douggie does,no need for data logger,have a small toggle switch inside
            connected to a red led light on exterior of hull,place frog in boat.
            if the frog senses a problem he hits the switch causing the red light to come on
            warning of a problem.
            you just need to find a frog that has a degree in electrical engineering and likes high speed boat rides
            douggie had one,but his sexual needs were greater than his boating needs one day.

              Ozzie, Ive got the trailer, forget the film name, but that's a pic from ' Toad popper's run '....

              Ive FPV ( onboard cam to remote screen/dvr ) setup that alleviates the need to endanger Douggie's playmates.
              I tried an onboard frog engineer once .. kept hogging the camera.

                  Well I have had it, sent Paddy his latest 1/2 dozen props and a run of more go than show prop company decals and the silly old WANKER threw them in the bin!!! They are not CHEAP. Paddy the price's I charge you ( heavily discounted with silly old fart discount) have just gone up!!! Perhaps you should join the POETRY thread with the other poofters.

                        Oh yeah baby, GO THE CROWS. It was the decals Dr W ( W could mean Wayne or Wanker both good Aussie names )
                        pretty please send my props back home . . untouched !!
                        Do you want me to post your props back untouched ???
                        The 1/2 dozen props were not yours Wayne they were his ! Paddy does NOT do props as he finds it hard to get great gobs of epoxy to stick to them

                          If Paddy had disposed of props, not decals.. I wouldve held concerns for the chastity of my naive props.. innocently they ventured into the outback.. .


                          as expected Adelaide's criminal element were quiet today, either playing football or watching 'live' on their stolen big screens ....

                            I will happily send them back untouched, cost is the same though. Oh dear looks like I am one of the criminals you talk of.
