HYDRO PLANER.....




Good After noon all of my Friends...it was my long dream to realize this craft, after seeing the XBOW ship, named Bourbon Orca..and my dream was delayed by some of my health probs..but now its time to do something..so i decided to go with my craft..
as usual, it was made out of thermocol..from plans based on real scale..but i reduced its tail a little to add a pulling device, to tow a big second barge...

Splendid build. How do you water proof it??

Thanks for the inspiration Friends..and sure i will post a good video soon...Sir, the shroud around the prop is known as a KORT NOZZLE, actually i was doing some research, about the propulsion, and once found a great thing. by adding a simple piece of pipe around the prop, makes the craft more faster and torqued, in a same given voltage. this prevents the side thrust waste, by guiding the water towards its back.it also eliminates the problem faced by the angle of the prop. it also acts as a protection in rough dirty water, in a fast run.in my tests she is nice, powerful,and torquey.. i will build its barge soon...

waterproofing the thermocol hull is far easy, sir, i will post a clear article about making a hull from paper or thermocol, its easy, and yes radios and other needful circuits here...thank you..

hi roopeshkrishna .
thank you very much for the information about the effectiveness of the KORT NOZZLE, there are things you see on models and not sure of it's job and effectiveness, this maybe something to think about on my MAS  boat build.   Smiley
and double benefit of a safety element also, I was thinking of putting a 'deflector' astern of the prop [a curved plate that a servo could be used to lower from it's rest against the bottom of hull to stand behind the running prop and deflect the water forward] that could be lowered to enable reverse without a gear box or polarity switch [which I did on a toy car and was quite demanding to get the servo throw right.]
a rough drawing, it will be operated by a servo from over the stern of the craft possibly using a half round [curved] link rod
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh268/dondecap/reverseplate.jpg
ARGYRA...its my XBOW craft..

this seems easier to operate than the split kort nozzle type reverse mechanism.
