6inch electric air boat
on the side of building my 35cc air boat i have built a 6 inch duel motor air boat out of a aero ace airplane from airhogs.i had tried to replace the tail of the plane with a fiber rod to make it lighter but it threw the whole plane off. so i took it apart and got some blue foam and made my boat. it took no than 20 minutes to build . inclusing painting it!. it goes about 5_10mph? i think.{asking santa for a radar gun} it will run for about 10 minutes on a 5 minute charge. it has a lipo so it has good power.it can go on menolium and wood. but i am going to get some mini brushless motors and a bigger lipo and then lets see what happens.
sorry but no pics or videos yet cause computor says an error has occurd when ever i try it, the colors are black on top and bright orange on bottom so it makes the water around it sort of glow.
js,

RE: 6inch electric air boat
you do know that you cant just stick brushless motors on there right, they need brushless controllers, and cant run two brusless motors off one controler either, but its not a bad idea for a micro boat, especially if it will run on the ground, if you wanna run water and need more speed try clear packing tape on the bottom,

Nice!
Post your pics or videos at [link=http://www.rc-airboats.com/gallery/albums.php?set_albumListPage=1]rc-airboats.com[/link]
It is free and has no size limit. The only requirement....is that it has to be rc related.
Can't wait to see the video!

RE: 6inch electric air boat
Ok gents ....
FTR --- it DOES come BOTH ways . adhesive , for those that want to stick , and NON adhesive , for those that want to "wing' it .
