    twin stepped vee - Hopf Cyklon

    not the happiest in the turns, and not totally chill in the straights - yet.

    but not bad for maiden voyage.

    I am wondering if wigglies on straights might be COG, rudder too small, er... lots of testing still to do

    Nice Jesse,
    Love the slow-mo video. Lucas theme looks great on the boat.
    Outstanding build as usual.

          Awesome video! You always have the cool music to go along with it. What is the song and by who?

              I dunno Jesse. Something seems wrong with it. It appears to really slow down at about 20 seconds in. LVC maybe?

              Looks great. Gives me some inspiration for that "extra" 1520 I now have.....

                thanks, ya I stepped back to 1S for the remainder of the video. make it so - twins are just... well big grins!

                I just added a longer rudder with a bit more stand off, hopefully will counter the flopsy mopsy.

                  Do you think you could prop it up a little? x438 seems kinda small for 1600KV on 4S,

                    I built her for 42mm props and all temps are mighty fine. So yes is the answer and probably the near future - I had actually forgotten about that; coming up, thanks Chief.

                      More video. Runs yesterday were great, bigger rudder a necessity - but why the big bad chine walk??

                      X438s on 4S did get us 51.4mph on this run!!!!!!

                      Got the other Eagle tree, time to test the variation of twins in a mono vs. cat. will be testing soon.
