hi. the weight it´s about 400 g whit all the gear (servo, esc, battery and reciver), i´m gonna use a 11.1V 1320 mAh thunder power LiPo battery for more fun time, the type of wood that i use it´s balsa. to the side frame i used 1/16 balsa and the rest of the boat it´s 1/32 balsa. it was buil all whit the pink zap. the lenght is about 15 1/2 inches, the width is about 8 inches and the high is about 2 inches.

for more questions fell free to ask.

later

Nice build!

Have you had a chance to run it yet? If so, how did it do?

I look forward to seeing more of your project. Happy Building!

looks nice mate but id stick the servo in a water tight box to protect it when it flips and believe me airboats flip .the motor wont mind the water unless its salt but the servo wont thank you.another thing id try to do is trim the engines mount plate .cut it round you will get more thrust from the motor then.it will be a fast boat im sure but been lite it could be flighty so angle the prop up a touch to force the bow down a little.look forward to seeing it go .its also great to see someone using wood instead of foam .
