Default Split video of the WHIZZER

Video of the WHIZZER airboat ....
had to split the file into two files , so that is why there is two .
Watch the first , then the second ....

Just a little fun in the sun , ( oh , I mean , snow .... )

As you can see in the video , everytime I went to give her full bore , she did a "ouchy" on me .
She ran at about 1/4 throttle 99 pre cent of the time .... We are supposed to get more snow tonight and when I get back in , hopefully , I will get some smoother snow to run on and let her rip ( open her up )

One more thing ... in the second video , at the end , I figured I would "grace' you all with a short shot of me ...

Also , can anyone tell me what is wrong with the last flip that the boat makes ? ( second video near the end )
Hummmm .... did you catch that one ?

Default RE: Split video of the WHIZZER

From watching the vid, looks as if there is a ridge of snow, that the side of the hull caught. lifting the out side just enough for it to let in extra air flow, then combinded with the direction of the rudders, being turned in the opposite direction causing the hull to flip back, with nothing to stop it from going all of the way over(boat being air born at this time) causing a roll. When this happens there is only one thing that you can do(if your quick enough)let off of the throttle, counter stear, get back on the throttle. To do this and for it to work, it must all be done in less than a second. Other times you'll get a warning just before it becomes in a side slide blow over, that will give you more time to get it back under control(about 1-1/2 seconds) Better have strong batteries to keep up with needs to be done.
