HPR C5009 - 3 day build !!!

[ManuelW]

Hi Dave,

I use parts from Graupner Modellbau, they are called "Anschraubmuttern". The guy I've seen using them first was mudl, the idea is simply but good!

By the way the boat was sold already a few months ago to my friend Marko (he won the 2012 SAW event in Duisburg) and he seems to be very very happy with the boat and runs it frequently also with X447's.

Maybe I'll try to do a 2-day HPR06 or C5009 build this year?

regards,
Manuel

Hello Guys,

some news from that boat. It was sold more than half a year ago to a very good friend of mine - Marko Hoffmann, the guy who won last years german SAW event at the Regattabahn. The setup and configuration is basically untouched, he just invested serious time and effort in optic and details, the result is gorgeous.
But what I do like, he still runs it at max. performance, yesterday we both attended the powerboat meeting in Edderitz were we tested some props out of my box, this was the best heat:

There is more to go, today I ordered a new custom made set of props and Marko may care about new batteries. More pictures of the boat will follow soon.

regards,
Manuel

Hey Manuel,
I know a place where you can get some batteries that hold the highest voltage under load.

Hi Mark,

if I decide to start SAW racing again I'll definitely consider to get some batteries from you!

At the moment here the latest video from Marko and the HPR C5009:

New props from Andy Brown (this time higher pitch and new tweaks) are already shipped, soon more testing will be done

regards,
Manuel

That looks good Manuel. A good prop that I like is the 5018 3 blade from fightercat.
