Not sure what the run time will be with the new brushless set-up, so I've put 15mins as a start point; I know I can get 10-12+ mins with this size motor and a 3200mAh 4s Lipo in a 63ins span KK Super Sixty trainer plane revving an11x4" prop alot higher, so driving a 35mm prop in water at a range of speeds should get over 15 mins ( I hope...🤔).Same with the speed - I'll let you judge from the video, but it's difficult to tell how fast she can go in such a small area.
As for current draw - no idea at this stage, but I'll try and do an amp test in the future.
The photos on open water are with the original brushed motor set up. I've also included comparative photos of original motor set-up and the brushless set up. The short video should speak for itself, it's the same one as in the Classic Model Power Boats thread.
Best regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Your Sprite looks really good and it looks good on the water too. I was a little concerned that the blunt bows of the Sprite design could cause the hull to "dig-in" or even dive - (probably due to my recent experiences with the Sea Commander last year) - but your model rises onto the plane quickly and runs clean. The slightly bigger Sprite Plus that Chris has drawn up should perform in a similar way. I am enjoying the prototype build of the Sprite Plus and I am looking forward to running it. Stay safe, Bob. ▲

Looking good Nick. It should go well on a bigger stretch of water.
