TFL Ariane 2

[Edwin David]

Im an owner of an Ariane 2 and would like to get some inputs regarding CG. I have been using the suggested battery placement of the boat and I have noticed
the difficulty of the boat getting into plane. Right now I'm using a T180A , Leopard 4092 1390kv motor and 6s 60c 5000 lipo. Can anyone here help me or give me
some suggestions on my problem? I was hoping I could make it run like the Pursuit,

That's a pretty low KV motor, I'm assuming your are running a pretty big prop?

My buddy is running an Ariane 2, he has the battery in the stock position, running a T180a, SSS 4082 2000kv on 6S with 5000 heavy duty 60/120C batteries.

It's really well balanced, running on 42mm prop primarily, runs about 65 mph or so.

CG starting point needs to be around 30% in from transom, is the stinger & trim tabs angles neutral to the hull bottom (stinger not negative). Is their any hook in the hull bottom which will hold the boat down.

The GOG on mine is 10-3/4" from the transom, if that's any help. It wins a race now & then.
