Default RE: RC Surfer

I only know the runtimes for InDaTubeLarry.

I use Zippy LiPo's 5000 4s / 30c batteries.
They charge to 16.80v and come in at about 14v
If the surf is small and I don't have to run around alot I can get 45 min out of them. That's mostly waiting for waves between sets.
If the session is larger and I have to throttle out and thru lots of white water and use more speed, I'm right at 30 min.
These times are when I use a 432 prop. I have a 435 prop installed lately and the runtimes are just about the same. And I love that Prop.

John and I chatted about design and decided to make my board a little bit wider and fuller than the other two Capo Crew boards.

Mark's is very light and thin...... cool looking and works great.
Steve's is shaped like Mark's but is a touch thicker and very strong glass job on the board & figure.
