Sharp looking hull.........
I didn't know Graupner made an airboat. As far as I know, Hobby Lobby is the only one in the states that carries graupner kits, and this is not one of them.
Shame. Could work for a nitro conversion [8D]
Yes it is a sharp looking hull. I finally completed my Graupner FLUPPI Airboat yesterday.
This is my first airboat project & I'm happy with the results. Took me a while to assemble this boat & follow European specs. The painting itself is a challenge in cold weather. This airboat is lightweight & the hull is a shallow vee with adjustable rudder angle.
Since the ponds here are frozen, I tested this boat in the snow & ice. It runs quite well with the thrust from this airboat's electric motor.
I'm not optimistic that the hull can be converted for nitro use. It's simply too compact .
