Smallest airboat ??
ok .... just curious here ..
What is the smallest airboat ( nitro driven ) that you have either seen , or owned ?
Reason I am asking ? I am trying to make the smallest rc controlled one right now .
( almost done with it too .. waiting on my sub-micro servo for the throttle and a high torque - for its size , micro servo )
Sporting a new Thunder Tiger 07 cranking 32,000 R's with the tuned pipe . On a small , but size matched 10 inch length flat-bottomed typical airboat design hull . ( air rudder , of course )

Pro is still around, here and there. My biggest recent project has been building a web page, for my hulls. It is a lot of work, if you like you can go check it out cajungatorairboats.com There you see more of the hulls that I have been building and how they have changed for the better. I've also been building for some great guys across the country, and I hope that they enjoy their boats, as much as I enjoy mine.

Sorry about that , and thanks for bringing it to my attention . I meant 18,000 . I am building a few different things and also am using a OS 18 that does 34 stock , but has been modded anbd is supposed to crank 38 ... my error ... was thinking one engine , but wrote the other ...
Again , thanks for bringing that to my attention .

Hey Turbo,
Just a while back I posted a vid of my "Pink Flamingo".
A pointed bow but flat bottom, 1 1/2 foam 12" x 5" powered with a cox .049 and ofcourse an air rudder.
Good idea to create a "Micro Mini", the smallest possible.
