Default RE: RC Surfer

Hi Kite........not sure what the motivation - point or the reason for the 'calculation' comparison is -BUT - in fairness to all - to truly validate your point - you should also 'compare' your power source id 'run time is the deciding factor'

You are running a 4s - whereas - I run a 3s - both boards achieving 20 minutes - so effectively - my board is drawing slightly less POWER (amps) than yours - meaning it is 'more efficient.....i.e. If I had to run your kv motor - and 4s power plant - I would more than likely run for around 30 minutes.......

Size (volume) - ALSO- adds surface area - so surface DRAG is increased exponentially - I assure you - Gravity is not your only enemy - it may just be your only friend when falling down the face of a wave keeping your bigger board and surfer from flipping over.........

and we are not even taking into account the 'Bang for your Buck' factor....
