40mph+rough water=torpedo

SV27 + Rough water + Aft CG = Flips

I'll bet your GPS was in front of the motor. Try running your CG at about 8.5 inches from the transom, especially in rough water. Also, how are your trim tabs set??

When I had the gps in the boat it was in front of the motor. When I took the gps out I had moved the lipo batteries up further. With the Carbon 48 and UL-1 setup the boat will flip no mater how far the cg is up. It needs that extra weight.
And oh yea the tabs are down about 1 deg. Before they were about 5-6 deg down.

Doby, on the button. Even more so if that was a stock AM radio....glitch heaven

I've never had any Glitching problems with the stock radio??

You will learn that AM radios suck.

I know AM suck. Been waiting to upgrade to a tatic 2.4 but out of stock. And I haven't had any issue with my AM.

I also fly rc planes and helis and use FM and those are way better then the AM but why switch to an fm when the 2.4 is roughly the same price.

Not exactly true a quality 2.4ghz is way more expensive. Look at the RX prices. I do use FM and have been looking at 2.4ghz but the cost for 9 boats to change over is too much and plus that most now run 2.4ghz, I feel realtivly calm with my Hitec CRX Spectra, but Hitec have screwed it up with discontinuing the DCX model RX

Yea, I've read some of the higher end ground based 2.4 were having trouble running with some boats. And haven't heard to many bad things about the tactic 2.4. I have no idea since I haven't used either one?? And for me only having two boats it makes it easier for me to switch over.

So I just ordered a Aeromarine Titan 29 to replace my SV27. I'm hoping it'll handle choppy water better then the sv27.

Ive been told and have heard that the Titan 29 is a hard boat to set up.

Which part? And how come? This will be my first build from the hull up. So any info about the setup would be great!! And much appreciated!!

[z400]

Not sure as i dont own any. its just what ive heard.

And it was handling issues

[Leskimo85]

Oh Ok. I really haven't heard anything on this hull?? I can't wait to build it.
What handling issues did you hear about this boat??
