      From what I can tell from the source, this was run on Nimh. I'm still trying to find another picture of those sponsons.

            A ton of work has gone into those sponsons. Quite interesting.

              I love the way the aerofoils have been incorporated into the front sponsons, where did you get the pictures from Meniscus ?

                Let's just say I do a LOT of surfing and read many foreign languages. I'm not even sure I can come up with the original website due to links of links in new windows, etc. Trust me, if I could figure it out, I'd post!!!

                    ok seriously now. Im not a rigger guy but i have ran a boat or 2 a nd have also flown planes and helies... It appears uro from design At first I looked at it as a boat and went hmm looks like extra drag.........................Then i looked at it as a plane and had different physics going on.............is it a low flying plane with its ass on the water ...............................or a rigger that was cross bred.
                    Whats the problem with riggers ,blow over..................... why cus the sponsons on a rigger are this or that either going or going over...... A planes wing is more designed for a level flight with altitude control.................stable flight.
                    Can I break it down in physics no but the concept isnt so hard. How ever getting it set up could be a real pita............ water effect........the always changeing ride surface...................................water tension...............and good ole mother nature.........where s my ready to burn clicky..................lmao

                        Look at the reinforcement on the sides of the tub. This leads me to believe that this hull is very very lightweight.

                        Judging from the picture, I'd be willing to guess this is running in the high 50s range. It may trim out higher than that, but the picture looks like high 50's.

                          I opened it in windows and cloew it up about 200% it a chemeloen charger cant read the other unit... Might give you an insite to what he is running.
                          A certain scale can be given if you know the sise of the charger to maybe get some ides of numder.... onto the carbon fiber sides....If you look at just the sideplates and look where each boom is placed....The rear boom is about there the mainbeam of a wing would be.....What in getting to here is its the fulcrom point for a wing all the way to the tial.....Could the be a control surface there??????????????????????????????????????....... .......................... you could now basically fly it................................. not drive it.....


                          Ok now for reality now ya cant really fly a plane that low without stuffing it...
                          ok im confusing myself..... lost in thought sorry



                          Have now inserted the disk.......................................loading .................................................. .......loading.......................shi********** ** disk unreadable..........................brb

                            LOL. I'd say he's running Nimh. That's just my guess!
