range safety launch

ive recently made a slightly smaller one and also used a 400 motor , Ive got my motor in the forward compartment cut away most of the central bulkhead to get a 7.2 or 9.6 sub c pack roughly mid ships , it also runs along the length of the boat rather than port to starboard , I was quite Impressed with its performance !

range safety launch

hI there every one, I have just completed a 23" model range safety launch, fitted with speed 400 motor and 35 three blade prop. power from two packs of 4 x 1.5 aa cells giving 6volts. on test run all looks good apart from the fact Its not getting up on the plane, then put In 7.2 power pack which made the boat bow heavy but lot more speed, big bow wave but no lift,(too heavy fwd) not a lot of room to move 7.2 aft. any suggestions on power package to get up on the plane.
