    Hk C1 Flowmaster twin motor catamaran maiden run

    Hi everyone!

    Today was the maiden run for my Hk Ci Flowmaster! The first thing i must say is: WOW, that thing is good! All stock, no mod exept for 5.5mm bullet connectors for the ESCs. Top speed was 66.2 km/h. But a prop let go and the run was over, because i was too happy to go run it, i forgot to take my spare parts box.

    So here it is:https://youtu.be/TSXtYaGyxYU

    There is more to come!!!

    Enjoy!!!

    Today was the second run of my boat! i had great results for first testing the boat! But first, i must say that i was a bit worried about yesterday's ESCs temps. 160*F. after only 2:30+/- minutes run and a broken prop. So i decided to swap the T120a's in. First tried with stock props, and the speed was almost the same(66.4 km/h for t120 and 66.2 km/h for stock ones). Then, the port side prop broke again... So time to put those 3P-36-13 form Turnigy! And on the same pack used for the first run,(4.02/cell) i got 77.8 km/h! i think the pitch of those props was 1.3, but i'm not sure anymore. I was thinking that lower pitch meant lower speed... Am i right? bUt here are today's runs!

              I deleted the lasts videos, because, even if the test result are there, it is morally wrong to show stupidity in action! i am sincerely sorry if those videos offended somebody.

              Like i said in post#4, lesson learned.

                Wow, boilo56...you just earned some man points for being a descent human being. LAAC is right - most guys would not have responded as well as you did. Post some new vid's soon of your Flowmaster running.

                    Hi! Today's run was good! Top speed:IMG_20150712_162115.jpg
                    I tried inverting the props rotation, only to see what it would do. Not really sure it did something, but still the speed is better! I took this video today! I'm not going easy on it, but everything was good and still not that hot, with 81*F. outside temp! Motor were at 95.2/3, escs were at 101 and 105 and batts were at 120 for the right side one, and 130 for the left side. On that side the batt volt was 3.5 volts/cell and 3.75 on the right side. Not sure what is going on. Here is a part of the run:https://youtu.be/6kidQT6tR_Y

                        "Eff" is slang for UHm... F--k.
                        Kudos = nice job

                          You don't need to apologize. Speaking two languages is one more language than most people in the United States speak, so you're ahead of the curve. What he did by typing out, "eff" was spelling out the letter f, phonetically. And that letter f is the first letter of a common, four-letter, vulgar verb. You might substitute the verb "screw" in place of "eff" in that phrase. And kudos simply is to say "good job" or "well done."
