MHZ Mystic M 1140mm build

LOL My point ...electrics are old technology... bring in the H2O powered "machines", Auto COG correction, titanium on the fly adjustable pitching self sharpening props. 300 mph capable, the list goes on LOL. Here we are stuck in the century with the boat upside down LOL....

auto-righting hulls are old tech..we're just too lazy to implement it I guess .. !

Hello,
Nothing new BUT. I'm getting more water in the hull than what I like! I thought ill pump some air into the hull and use soapy water around areas where it can escape.
If you decide to do this be very carefull, dont pump more air in than what you can blow, you could expand and crack the hull. Air is a powerfull thing!! but I found the problem. now have to get more liquid tape and reseal.

Got her out again today. Me driving, was good fun! Can tell that she's not pulling enough power as the GPS logged 11 min of runtime. And only 95 km/h. A quick calculation here on OSE, Spinning 32269.92 rpm should only give you about 96km/h with 447's maybe time to try something bigger. But it was still loads of fun, and she looked good. DocW got some vid on his iPhone, so when ever he is ready hehe. I think I will stick to this setup for a few weeks till I get comfortable with this setup, pond is very small for that kind of speed. I would like to try some 648's, maybe looking into some bling stainless steel props from Germany.

Went out to grab a bite with the missus, and had a walk over to the other lake, now where was the boat??

Keep Walking..... Kent

Keep Walking..... Kent

There is never a boat around when you need it. I can tell you, my boat would have rocked on there. LOL

Imagine the howl of twins on this lake !!
It's alright mate, I'll give you a head start

Kent is camera shy "dont show me on the video" and coincidentally FYI iPhone video is garbage.. there's not much worth watching between the edits where I removed the man

[drwayne]

Epilogue:
IMHO iPhone 4S camera is not worth a damn .. my previous Nokia N97 is 5000% better for both still and movie.
Apple 1080mov loses sync with audio.. pixelates & generally a POS.

sorry ppl, no vid of today's runs

[cyprus31]

What happened and you had to walk all this way. Did you had failure or you just flipped it?

You'll probably like the extra pitch Kent.That is my next choice.Hopefully next weekend with Andy from AC Boats.BTW That lake looks awesome.Is that the new house over there?

[nata2run]

Oh no no never got the boat in this lake. I went for a walk with my wife after dinner ( to the other lake) and that's what it looked like, nice and calm.
