Finished the bow roller yesterday, and marked today as trails day, the conditions seemed just right at home but as all too often happen at Walpole Park the cross winds off Haslar creek were whipping up a 2 to 3 inch chop, but decided to get her bottom wet anyway, she ran well but not there yet performance wise, not quite on the plane, I'd say about half plane but very pleased with how she handles a nice heel on turning and handled the chop ok, I ran her for half an hour at full throttle then brought her in despite the spray over her decks she was dry inside, motors just warm, shafts just warm, ESC cool, conclusion she needs more power, I used 30mm three blade brass props and a 2S lipo today, so I'll be ordering a pair of 40mm three blade brass props that I always intended to use and a 3S lipo and we'll see how that works.
