Supervee27 ?

[Diesel6401]

My trim tabs & motor jacket showed today . I have a couple quick ?'s. When the motor jacket is in stalled with the four holes on top ( with the brand in using) . Can i assume i should use two holes that are diagonlly oppsoed to each other ?.



I would also like to know should i adj them to the stock location, were there is about a 1/8 gap across the whole tab when holding a straight edge on the bottom of the hull ?. Or should i adj them so the trailing edge is level with the bottom of th hull ?.

Trim tab should be completly level with the hull. You should be able to run a ruler or straight edge along the bottom and trim tabs would be flush with it. That's neutral position.

Success

I finally got to run my boat again today after installing my goodies i recived from jan .I installed a new water jacket & adj trim tabs. My motor came off at 105 after about a 10 min run or longer & that was with a partial kink in the water line inside the radio box. So it should be better next time with out the kink in the line . . I also picked up some aquacraft radio box tape to seal the canopy water tight . The was absolulty no water in the hull . My lipo's were 3.53 volts per cell after the run . I slide the lipo's farther foward & that helped ALOT with tthe hopping. It feels pretty stable to me . But im sure it can be made better with the proper tweaking .

Right on man!
Sounds like your getting things working good..
I place my batteries about 1 1/2" forward of the motor

Rescue boat

Im thinking about making a rescue boat for use with my SV 27 if needed . I have seen some made using a boogie board & other's using a boat & pushing device on the FR end . Im looking to go with a boogie board mooded to the FR of a RIO ep . I looked at walmart .com . I also looked at target & kmart .com as well . But i cant seem to find a really cheap boogie board . Does anyone know were you can get a cheap boogie board ?. I live in FL so one of the major stores would be nice . Thank's

I found this one . Is that the cheapest im probably going to find ?.

Did you figure how your going to mount the RIO to the board? The opening you have to cut into that board has to be fairly wide to rescue the SV

I looked at your link . After you add shipping, it cost the same as the one i linked to eairler . There is a used sporting goods store close to my house . I may go check there tommorow, to see what they have to offer .

Plus the one i linked to is 37 inches . Thats plenty of board to work with .

The way im thinking i would mount the board to the boat is to turn the boat upside down . Then trace out the outline of the FR end of the boat about 12 inches back . Then cut it out, so the hull fits it to the notch that is cut out . Then cut cut a channel about 18 inches deep & 10 inches or so wide for the SV to slip into when the rescue boat pulls up from behind . Then just push it back to shore . What do you think ?.

Hi how are things going? I just converted everything over to 5.5mm bullet connectors today hope it was worth all the effort. Haven't tried it yet.
Don't you think that you could find a cheaper boat for this purpose?

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKGP2**&P=7

only $85

Hey whats up wizard. Amazon has boats even cheaper than that http://www.amazon.com/RC-Police-Boat...777024&sr=8-13

But he wants that 2.4g radio that comes with the RIO that normally lists at $80 by itself so he getting a sweet looking aquacraft boat for like $50. Man I love that Tatic 2.4. I upgraded the servo on my RIO so my rescue boat has been running like a champ I hope the weather breaks soon, im dying to try on my new props. Let me kno of those new connectors work out.

I never saw that video before coming up with my idea . But that is exactly what i was thinking of .


Wizzard i looked at your link . That boat may work . But I think the rio with the bigger 550 motor would not have to work as hard.

New 5.5mm connectors

Cool me too like I said I switch every thing to 5.5mm alot of work hope it pays off last time I ran the boat the deans got a little hot so I think this will help.
