      20240621_193109.jpg The last try was no good so this is the set up for this video.
      I started by trying to copy the full size e1 boats hence the foil well back, but now I have to find my own way through these rabbit holes I've created. I feel I got a bit closer to daylight yesterday. I know from months of development on my outboards that they have their limitations and I also need to keep things as simple as I can. So next I can print some more rear foils with some trim built in to get it running level. I did have a go without any rear foils and it actually did work reasonably well, but there was a lack of control and stability, so they providing that. Like throwing a dart without any fins it wouldn't have any directional stability.

          Well that should make for interesting testing. I have been wanting to try this for a long time but just haven’t gotten around to it.
