    VS-1 with Canard wings experiment

    When I originally set up this one, I was running an Elite 4S 30C 5300. The boat handled perfectly. When I switched to a Zippy Flightmax 4S 30C 5000 the boat picked up 3-5 mph but lifted the nose precariously. Shifting the CG didn't help much. Since I had a set of UL-1 wings, I sticky-taped them on. A little ridiculous I'll admit, but I thought I'd experiment. Not any better. I've now dropped the drive angle and will add some weight to equal the Elites. Test, test, test...

    Well at least they looked cool.. I like the way they look. Would it have had a blow over without them?
