Sport Hydro 8s 2p

[jcald2000]

IMPBA says all I need is a windshield and some stickers I have already checked when I designed the boat. Remember this is a SPORT not a Scale Hydro.
Brushless, I did not think it was!

"Hull must be a three (3)-point full-bodied hydroplane configuration and resemble a limited or unlimited hydroplane design of past or present."

Lets see something similar to yours in real life.

Again, nice running boat, but.......perhaps another discussion for another time.

Take it from "Randolph The Grey" It is not in the spirit of FE Sport hydros. I might piss you off and it did me.

I just might be back at the SAW this November to bump that record. depends on if I get my ---- together.

Good luck at the Saw Randy!

Both of you are wrong, It is a Sport Hydro not a hydro or rigger...check out the T Sport Hydro SAW record....

The T Sport Hydro record was set with a mild 6S setup. Wait until November.......

I do not think I will be able but I am going to try to make it. I would love to see all the folks from all over the world that make it.

Nice running boat! But, a sport hydro it is not if you go by the IMPBA/Namba rules. You would need some sort of semi scale looking cowling for that.

Good to know
is this why the S Hydro and S Sport are so different in SAW speeds ?

[Fluid]

The S Hydro records are set by riggers. The S sport hydro records are set by.... sport hydros. The weight, extra drag and blow-over tendencies limit the Sport Hydro records compared to the Hydro records.
