Default RE: airboat in progress


ORIGINAL: davids rc

I am currently building a airboat and am having a little trouble, i have a 25cc 1.2 hp weedeater motor with a 16x10 3 blade pusher prop mounted on a carbonfiber hull 32x17x2.5 the boat will move ok on the concrete but will not budge on the grass n e ideas
What kind of RPMs are you getting at WOT with that prop? How much does the boat weigh RTR? Seems to me that might be too much pitch to get the RPMs high enough to get it moving.
