    Pecked away at it last night. Got the trim tab situation situated lol. I made some little aluminum threaded plates for the screws to catch just like rear wheeling suggested. Worked perfect.





    [URL="[URL=http://s218.photobucket.com/user/ltzguy/media/6B5B7E1B-5A66-4E59-8C00-2BF23B3B3DD3.jpg.html][/URL]"][URL=http://s218.photobucket.com/user/ltzguy/media/6B5B7E1B-5A66-4E59-8C00-2BF23B3B3DD3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc243/ltzguy/





    And I got it all wired up. Tested it. Everything is good to go.

    I did these in 3mm x .5 because that's the screws the tabs come with.

    Well it's time to hit the water shortly. All I have left is the hatch seal. I'm about to go do it. Charging up batteries right now. I'll post a maiden video later today. Here's somepics in the mean time.

    Can't wait to hear the results.
    What prop?
    Also, I think you're gonna end up raising the strut up quite a bit

    Best of luck! I checked the weather in your area, should be a bit windy for speed: 70°F (21°C), Wind SE at 11 mph (18 km/h), 58% Humidity

    Here the boat itself. It's beautiful without paint!




    I'll head down to the lake in a couple hours. I'm headed to my grandfathers house to help him pick something up that's to heavy for him. Stay tuned.

    I had the same problem with my MGM in my GP400, you have to calibrate the ESC for throttle as well as your TX. Watch it closely and do it exactly the same except for reverse...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLzM5xyzseM
