New to theUL-1 and boating.

Curved.

Cool. Thanks.

I noticed the rudder is not 90° to the transom, does it need to be adjusted to 90°????

Ok so here is the picture of the controller/esc.

That is the new version, so assuming it was stock with the hull, you should have the re-enforced turn fin mounting as well.

What do I use to scuff the bottom of the boat with? It's real slick and smooth, thanks.

[BHChieftain]

I really would not bother scuffing the hull-- just don't wax it. The actual effects of scuffing is debatable and if it does work we are talking about less than 1mph benefit-- hardly worth damaging the finish for sport running IMHO.

Thanks BHC. Much appreciated.

Fyi, I'm getting the boat all set up for tomorrows maiden run. Camera, video camera, lipo's all charged up. I hope everything goes well and I don't sink the Ul-1.
I'll post up my thoughts along with pic's and video.

Thank you to everyone that has given me help and info.

Remember that it is a bit tricky to get on plane-- either toss it in and gun it, or give it a blip, and when the nose bobs up gun it.
Good luck on the maiden!

Well, I finally got it up on plane, after I pulled it from the weeds. Unfortunately I chewed up the prop really good.

[stelerzman]

Oh, by the way my temps are motor,129 & esc 109°.

[stelerzman]

Here's what I did to the prop.20130804_134114.jpg

I'm working on editing the video and should be done soon. Didn't get any pic's.
