    Rather than using the single 6s pack in this hull and having the Cog fixed i have replaced the single pack and fitted it out with a pair of Dinogy 3s packs 5000mAh 65c packs
    that means i can have more flexability with the cog and will be able to try both cog setting 9.5" and 10.5" with the 3s packs ,also replacing the rudder with a longer arm HOR 130 that should give me a much longer ruder arm and bring it further back were it should be. posponded the maiden untill the rudder turns up.

    Anyone in the UK need to buy Dinogy 6s 5100 65c packs, i have one maybe two brand new packs for sale.

      Ran the Rico today on my single 6s packs, all I can say is WOW! what a great handing hull, not yet a fast as I would like but it took me by surprise how well it handles especially being its first time out
      ran stone cold on a x642 do you think a x646 would better size prop?
      I tried to get some video today, but being over exited I forgot to press the record button not once but twice, dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
      next time I will try not to forget

            Yup! These are great boats! It's the only boat I've had and never sold.. Never will either!

              No idea why the quality is so bad my new Canon D600 is not impressing me so far, must be set up wrong! seen better quality 10 years ago

              but the Rico feels good
