KNPC's Insane FE Hydro

[knpc]

Britscoot - here are the pictures of my setup, if you need any othe info let me know.
I'm sure with a couple tweeks you can get 60. So far mine is running 60- 62mph on 4s1p and 63-65mph on 4s2p. Make sure to keep your runs short on 4s1p if your going to push for 60+, it can be hard on the lipo.

Excellent pictures Kevin!
I just measured my lay up again and i'm at 11" from motor to transom.
I'm thinking it might be a problem and why i cant get 60.
according to the set up instructions i'm set up for non spec motors.
I'm crossing my fingers that the props i have coming from Mark Sholund will get me some speed.
I really appreciate your help Kevin.

cheers

I don't think the motor placement is as important as the overall placement of all the components and where that puts your final balance point. I think most people have the balance point around 2 1/2'' behind the sponsons. The strut height and turn fin angle would be other important adjustments to tune.

I had a lot of hop until i moved the strut.The strut was originally flat on the bottom so i swapped it out for a round one to get more prop in the water.I gained 1.5mph.
I thought the fin only came in to play when turning.I haven't messed with it yet.
I seem to be balanced ok as she rides nice and only threatened to blow over once...lol
Guess i will be experimenting at the weekend.
