Title: Re: RC Airboat....I call it the Pied Piper Post by: sanjayrai55 on August 24, 2013, 09:33:41 AM Going to put the ESC & Rx in waterproof boxes
Title: Re: RC Airboat....I call it the Pied Piper Post by: sanjayrai55 on August 24, 2013, 09:44:28 AM Waiting for a Rx so I can maiden it. There were many large (like 1000 sq. metre, up to 0.5 m deep) rain water puddles on our flying field, unfortunately they have dried and there is thick growth of weeds now :(

:thumbsup: for maiden... sir, did u print the stickers and paste it ? Title: Re: RC Airboat....I call it the Pied Piper Post by: sanjayrai55 on August 24, 2013, 10:03:25 AM Thanks Swizera. Yes, they are stickers. The top skin is biofoam, and although I gave a base coat of Enamel (Oil) paint, even then the spray can paint attacked the foam. So, to cover up the khaddas I used stickers :D :D

A small request - a picture of the underside showing the stepped hull would be appreciated. Title: Re: RC Airboat....I call it the Pied Piper Post by: sanjayrai55 on August 25, 2013, 09:29:43 AM Thank you VC sir ;) :D

Title: Re: RC Airboat....I call it the Pied Piper Post by: sanjayrai55 on August 25, 2013, 09:00:27 PM Thank you Christopher.
Maybe next weekend ;D Title: Re: RC Airboat....I call it the Pied Piper Post by: sanjayrai55 on August 25, 2013, 09:06:27 PM The bottom of the hull of the Pied Piper
The stepped hull is visible. Why would the designer (Alex T) use a stepped hull? 1. Aerodynamically superior 2. Creates lift 3. He had only that width of raw material available :rofl: What is your guess? Title: Re: RC Airboat....I call it the Pied Piper Post by: VC on August 26, 2013, 01:14:17 AM Thanks Sire. Creates lift, I guess.
