ok .... just curious here ..

What is the smallest airboat ( nitro driven ) that you have either seen , or owned ?

Reason I am asking ? I am trying to make the smallest rc controlled one right now .
( almost done with it too .. waiting on my sub-micro servo for the throttle and a high torque - for its size , micro servo )
Sporting a new Thunder Tiger 07 cranking 32,000 R's with the tuned pipe . On a small , but size matched 10 inch length flat-bottomed typical airboat design hull . ( air rudder , of course )

sounds sweet, can't wait to see

Hey Terbo, The smallest I've had was 14" in length, had a .10 OS LA powering it. Ran like crap cause I made the hull too heavy!

Model_Mann

omg its been soo long since iv been on here. how are alll you guys and gals doin, ive had no time to work on my airboat its still at the same place i left it 7 months ago, with work my relationships and having no social life at all , i got very little time to do anything. , oh by the way on this post the smallest airboat iv ever seen that was very functional was the one i built, it was 8 inches long 5 inche wide, powered my a cox .049 motor and had a full sized airplane servo to steer the rudder. just thought i should put my 2 cents in

Mr Cajun Gator

Model_Mann

hey haljmac thanks for the warm welcome back, i'ed like to hear about some of your most recent projects.

by the way when was the last time you saw pro27 on the forums,

Mr Cajun Gator

Pro is still around, here and there. My biggest recent project has been building a web page, for my hulls. It is a lot of work, if you like you can go check it out cajungatorairboats.com There you see more of the hulls that I have been building and how they have changed for the better. I've also been building for some great guys across the country, and I hope that they enjoy their boats, as much as I enjoy mine.

Sorry about that , and thanks for bringing it to my attention . I meant 18,000 . I am building a few different things and also am using a OS 18 that does 34 stock , but has been modded anbd is supposed to crank 38 ... my error ... was thinking one engine , but wrote the other ...
Again , thanks for bringing that to my attention .

Mr Cajun Gator

Thanks guys, woke up this morning way down in deep south Louisiana, to see that white stuff falling from the sky. To bad its not enough to do any kind of running on.

Hey Turbo,
Just a while back I posted a vid of my "Pink Flamingo".
A pointed bow but flat bottom, 1 1/2 foam 12" x 5" powered with a cox .049 and ofcourse an air rudder.
Good idea to create a "Micro Mini", the smallest possible.

TERBObob

My Feedback: (21)

Wow ... gonna have to find that one .
When you run the 049's .... does't it bother you not to have speed control ? ( just curious )

sirwalter

My Feedback: (1)

Oh ya, I posted the vid on www.rcairboats
