G. Finlay 1/16th scale Hydro

i knew that the strut angle was it just fro reading your original post, keep us posted on how it works out!!

Not sure how much experince you have, but as I read through the thread no one mentioned whether you had hit the throttle hard and held it. A lot of hydro's tend to bury the nose on take off, but if you hold the throttle down they come out of the nose dive and go. You probably know this, but just in case you have never run a hydro before I thought I would throw that into the conversation. The other method is to kind of toss it in the water going forward as much as possible and then hit the throttle.

i knew this, but i have a scale Karelsen hull hydro and it did the same thing, i know what your talking about though, notice in the first post he said: "at full throttle". just to throw that out there

Where is the CG located when you are running?

Ok guys,

I think the problem is solved. The strut is down more added a better prop and KABOOM, it took off like a bat out of hell! Need to seal hatch better got some water in there today. When finished I will upload video.
Thanks for All your Help!

Sounds like it isn't quite letting loose, did you hit full throttle? What prop were you using in the vid? That thing should be ripping!

Have a big prop on now its a x438 and that was only 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. Going to change prop to a smaller one.

I have a y535 I had s/b for me specifically for the one I had (that was my first FE build ever). If you want it let me know, it's in the for sale pileon it's way to the swap shop.

[billf1973]

This is my first scratch build also....How much did you want for the y535?

I have learned over the past few years that brushless boats need at least a 4 pole motor. There was a 2 pole motor in this boat.
