Default RE: Seawolf Afloat

Thanks

it is quite fun to sail around with
The pond im sailing in is so murky, that I can hardle see it as soon as the conning tower has gone under. Luckily, the long antenna can be uses as both a atitude and depth meter
I can trim mine so it glides along at the same depth and just let go of the controls.
2 times, i struck something on the bottom, and got stuck for a minute or so.....the nose just dug in, and the prop was sticking out of the water! Got a little worried

Are you using the stock 6V battery ?

I had been sailing abot 15 minutes, and my ESC bagan to cut the motor because of low voltage. But when recharging, it had only used half of the battery.


I have now installed 2 3300niMh 6 cel packs in parallel, so I have 7,2V 6600mah........should last longer :-)

Not a single drop of water in it.
I have also slid some fuel tubing over the instalation bolt, to keep water from seeping in the front.
