I ran the power system today, in a test hull. Old Academy Sea Dagger 29" ABS hull
Well modded by me.
Chinese 9XL with no water cooling
Flightpower 4900 4S
Super Simple 100A ESC with cooling on the top plate.
M440 Good hook up and happy speed
X637 Better hookup and happy speed
X642 Ok hookup and serious speed
Need to try a 447 cf prop I found later.
My findings tell me that I will need to cool the motor for anything over a 440.
That is fine as I have a solid jacket ready to go on there
All of the wood is now sealed and now is the long process of curing the varnish between coats.
I want 3 full coats on there before I go for colours.
YES!! This one will get painted...................colour to be chosen, but I am leaning toward a very bright green with black trim.
I hate painting
This will get wet soon !!
