please forgive my ignorance but how does a cap bank help? I'm asuming it just helps a bit to keep the voltage even.

RE: New build-Aerof1orce tunnel
well guys got to get a few runs in,bit dissapointed with performance but this is down to set up,iv got a couple of issues that needs sorting but now iv run it i know what it is so abit of modifying is required to transom mount then will go again,temps were barely warm so once sorted i will try the 42,1.7 3blade SS on it but want to get it setup the best i can 1st on the 42mm CF prop then check temps again before jumping up.The hull it self seemed to handle well again will know more once setup.
