All set up again along with P40e
I've set voltage alarm at 3.3volts and the ESC low voltage cut off at 3.2volts

A maiden voyage today was a complete success. The Action Electronics unit played a major part in reducing any wake splash over.
Unfortunately too risky to try capturing on video or at speed. Hopefully Stan might have gotten a picture.

Hi Andy


Great to see her afloat and sitting well on the water..! Sounds like the hardware is working well too.


Best regards
David.

Yeah thanks David
My chines work great too,I couldn’t ask for better handling. On the plane almost straight away and I have transmitter throttle output set at minus 100  %%  full stick gives a realistic speed.
Reverse steering is also excellent but I need to reduce max throttle on this

I don't blame you as the effort that has gone into that finish.  I've always liked the way you can see the reflected water in the varnished wood .....just beautiful

She’s a few coats short yet. To be honest I wish I had used resin and polyurethane in hindsight.
I know I could have achieved as good a finish in 3 coats max.


I might finish it next year or the one after  {-)


Thank you Mark  :-)

Hi Andy, were did you source the 0.59mm stainless steel pins from as this seems to be a good solution for the trim.
