 Special Notes
Hi Trent,
I'm "guiri" nothing great but most home made and put together with no exotic parts These are some photo's I've taken of my first electric boat details as follows:

Hull Scratch
Motor Graupner speed 400
Speed Control Astec HF-20
Cells 7 x 600 mah NiCads
Servo standard hitec hs-303
Hardware home made 2mm flex(0.08" approx) strut and rudder (thinking of adding a turn fin).
Prop Graupner carbon 29mm
Hull Length 14"
Hull Width 6"
Weight 18 oz
Speed More than enough to be fun

Special Notes: This started as a more productive physiotherapy project than that recommended by the doc after a stroke. Also felt it about time that there was a Spanish flag on your site. The hull is all balsa.

A special word of thanks to Allan Shillitto of Astec who always found the time and the patience to answer a beginner's questions.
