    Own design to breathe a fresh new look into the Club 500 style of racing. A sharper hull design for better choppy water handling along with increased manouverabilty. 540 Motor, 9g metal gear servo and 2s lipo

    Hi Harry

    Yes it went well. This was up to 3/4 throttle though was checking the esc and motor temps so wasn't pushing her too much. She hand a tendency to bank over left which went away when i changed to a smaller prop though i've since added trim tabs and turn fins. I have built another prototype for a speed400 motor to see how that goes too. I think the rudder could be the next area i make smaller. The rudder has a weak spot built in so if you hit something hard it breaks off without damaging the hull and can be easily replaced.

    She's got a bit to go until i say she's ready though were getting there.

    Regards
    Scott

    Nice maiden voyage, good turn of speed.
    A bit light on the bow,but weight shift will fix that.
    Our little club 500 is in trim back speed mode for our youngest member who is a bit of a speed devil.
    As she is female it has a lot of pink on it !!!

    Hi i have the maiden video link for Youtube. It was short and sweet as wasn't feeling well though will be back to the pond for a longer re-maiden as such next week. In this video it didn't have the trim tabs or turn fins that it does now
