Avanti inspired prototype

[Diegoboy]

After reading about Avanti's build, I decided to Frankenstein one together myself.

A special "Thanks" to Lonewolf for fabricating my "add-on" wing & motor mount!

Here she is, bringing shame to the Oberto name...






As you can see, she is a bit wet. I gave her a test run just before the sun went down. She ran very well, just a bit of tweaking on the prop angle should do the trick.

sweet setup

Thanks.
Avanti, Is your prop pointed downward? This thing wants to lift off the water at full throttle. I don't know a thing about airboats, so I'm not sure what "pointing the prop downward" will do to it.
The stock rear wing is nut and bolted down & reinforced with wood.

[Avanti]

mine is pointed up to keep the back of the boat down (I swapped my motor around to a pusher style though, not a puller like yours is right now) you would need to raise the back of the motor some with your current setup

I thought so, Thanks for the info!

Thats Too cool Danny! And SOOO dangerous looking to boot! Love your style and creatability but, NO ONE will out do the "tiny tug". hmm, cept the duck thing. that was pretty awesome too.
