HI Captain
Nice looking model.You will not regret going brushless. I put a brushless outrunner in my fireboat (34") and coupled with a LiPo and air-cooled Esc it really flies. You will solve all your weight problems, I had to add extra leas to my model to keep it on the water! Did you build this from a plan/pictures? I have read the blog but you haven't mentioned the source. I am interested as I have a fiberglass hull (36"+) that would suit this type of model. Good luck with the change to brushless.Dave
I didn't use a plan. I made most of it up as I went along, some inspiration came from this http://cosmicadventure.com/gallery/albums/album43/Ambulance_boat.jpg
If you want any more photos or measurements from my boat just ask.
The brushless motor and ESC arrived today, the mount and coupling should come next week and then it will be time to fly.
my work in progress up to now on my standoff
scale seaplane tender
