Leuk, nog een filmpje, dat heeft Jeroen prima gedaan!

Nice, another movie, Jeroen did a good job!

Wofür schafft man sich denn Kinder an und zieht die mühselig groß? Zu irgendwas müssen die doch auch gut sein!

Es liegt in der erzieherischen Verantwortung der Eltern, seinen Kindern frühzeitig das Paddeln beizubringen.
Für's Bergeboot.

Today I made 2 runs with the Corsair.

I ran the Corsair the first time last week. I noticed the setup could be improved, so I made some changes:

- Place the lipo left of centre to compensate for the drive torque / tiliting the hull to the right.
- Place the outboard a little higher, because the prop was fully submerged. New setup: 75% submerged and a little down tilt.

The Corsair now needed some time to get up to speed. The prop sits a little too high now. Also in the corner the prop loses some grip and the hull starts to jump up and down.

On the other hand; She runs very stable now! Now sign of torque roll and almost free of the water surface at full speed. And fast she goes: 52.3 km/h
I know I know, it's not scale speed! I will change the motor for a 2700kV and maybe even go for a 2500kV lateron. After all I still need to sharpen the outboard arc, which will increase the speed even more.

The 2nd lipo the Corsair suddenly stopped but I could hear the motor spinning. At the shore I found out the flex shaft broke :( And even put a hole in the Teflon tube!

Anyway, I will soon fix it and put her on the water again. I promise to make another decent video as well for you guys lateron.

* Also in the making: the bow handle and the gas tank. Update will follow

Great Dirk Jan!

A very beautiful boat! ...I wait for the video...

Hope you can fix the flex asap...do you already have the parts?

I finally finished the bow handle.

I made it out of solid aluminium. The processs has been shown before on this forum, but I will share it again with you

Remove the paint to glue the bow handle:

And the result!

Beautiful - well done!

How many weeks did it take you to finish the handle?

From start to end it took 4 weeks, but with many brakes in between Probably 6 hours total, still a lot for such a small part!
