    First Jolly Cat run

    I finaly got her in the water. It was not a perfect trip. I am way rusty. First I forgot my battery box and only had the 2 packs in the boat. Next I forgot how to fire up the navibe untill after the run. That being said I had a blast!! It was a dream to drive. I was over proped and I think she was running a little wet. The dpr data tells the tale. The temps I took with the prob after the run where proof she was a tad over proped. Packs 149/150, ESC 131 & motor 120. I am dropping down to a 40mm prop tomorrow night. I can't even guess @ speeds. It's been to long since I've driven. The video will be up with in the hour. I am uploading it now and it take about15 20 minutes to post on the bucket. I was nice to be on the water again.

            Looking good. Those temps seam pretty high for what prop you are using. I would have expected them to be lower with that prop.

                  Thanks guys :). It looks great because of your work Tim. I am going back out this weekend for some more testing. I'll have the gps up this time...& more than 1 set of packs :P .I am going to move the cg back about 1/2 inch. I think the smaller prop will unload the motor up enough to turn up quit a bit more. The hull looked like it wanted to twist right out of the water.
