Ok ... now that we are trying to get into the engineering aspect of things ... lets go this route ...
It takes an architect/engineer to desing things , like houses and such , BUT ... it takes the carpenter to make the alterations needed for the architect/engineer's design to work .
Apparently you know very little about the construction industry. The carpenters (or any trade) can not make ANY alterations to the bluleprints with out submitting a "change order" to the engineer, who will review the "change order" with the architect (you know, the guy that designed it for the carpenters). By the way, I work in the construction industry too....18 yrs now.
Now ... Who...
besides HAL and myself, has ACTUALLY done this TRUE comparison on the SAME hull , WITH the SAME engine ?
So ... before all you "guess'ers" start flapping ... please ... try doing .
I have. There was two gentlemen here in town that built some full size looking boats with pushers. When they were complete, they would barely move on the ground. After talking them into turning the motors around before giving up (they were frustrated, ready to start over)...they scooted across the ground nicely with the switching. Instead of building new boats, they ran the ones they had!
I have been building rc airboats for 8 yrs solid, I built my first airboat 16 yrs ago, not to mention being raised around them. I am closing in on around 200 hundred boats that I have built in my time. I have boats in 3 countries on two continents....I've done some howework over the years. I am just voiceing my opinion on what I base my buildings on.
Which reminds me.....where are your vids? You talk the talk...show us your walk.
Next time you start "flapping"....think about it.
