Title: My first boat
Post by: lastRites on January 26, 2012, 09:30:24 AM
I started with rc only a month back.. I decided to build something from scratch and decided on a airboat. It is not complete yet. Planning on completing today. I have attached some pictures. It will be pusher. Comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated as I know next to nothing about RC boats :P

Hi ;D
Sorry for the LATE reply:P been busy with other projects.. Yes the boat was for the tech-fest. I did not qualify for it. I am uploading the maiden video. It was 3am and I was on the controls, for the first time in my life. They took away my radio as soon as I registered, so I did not get the opportunity to practice or even trim the boat :banghead:. So it had the weird tendency to chase its own tail around at full throttle :P
