Graupner Rhode Island F1 tunnel hull
« on: November 16, 2017, 06:38:11 pm »

Hi all, I have been having problems with my Graupner outboard Rhode Island hooking in the turns, I have upgraded the servo to 5kg and stronger rods but I just wonder if any of you guys can help, it’s great in a straight line but as soon as you lift off slightly it spins out
Thanks

The main fun I had with a similar boat was weight balance. it was almost a case of 3 different setups. 1/ for still water [millpond type], 2/ for mild breeze [no chop], 3/ for slight breeze with small waves. the weight starting towards the stern and then easing forward as water/breeze kicks in. but dont go too far at a time in testing, it doesnt take much for it to then decide to dig nose in when you lift off the power.
