Want nitro hydro plane for begginer - which one do you suggest?
 

I'm looking into getting a hydro plane. So far I like the miss bud, but I have heard things such as you can not turn left if your going to fast Is this true?? Can I just slow down to turn left if I want to?? I'm not looking to race the boat, just take it to the lake or pond and have a good time. I would like to stick with a nitro and not electric.

Is there any other hydroplane that use nitro other than the miss bud that come with engine, radio and boat??

Hydros aren't usually a good choice for a beginner, start with an OB tunnel or a deep-vee boat. The Miss Bud has it's share of problems and will do nothing but frustrate a Newbie. So far, anything put out by Pro Boat has had more than it's share of problems, my honest 2 cents worth unfortunately.

If you would like a fun boat to play with that is fast I have a Prather LapCat II witha K&B 7.5 outboard on it. I will sell the boat and Radio for 225.00 + Shipping. Let me know if you are interested.

Iwillkickyourdog6, I don't know where you saw the reviews but it must have been in a magazine. They suck up to their advertisers and won't do a bad review on any piece of crap that they get for free or are paid to do. They sell a lot of them just because it is a Miss Bud, not because it's a good boat. I'm waiting for the 1/8 scale to come out to see how bad that overpriced POS is. I saw it in Toledo and wasn't impressed. It will probably have the same problems as their other boats, misaligned shafts, bad flex hex couplers, leaks, thin 'glas work, etc. $1,099.00 for a boat that does only 35 MPH if they're lucky, I don't think so! But it's a Miss Bud, they'll find enough suckers!

I think you'll be better off with a .21 size tunnel hull or a deep vee. Tunnel if you want more speed. They are easier to set up than hydroplanes or outriggers. If you opt for an outboard, don't forget to get a high torque servo for your steering. If you want a sport deep vee, Great Planes has a Nitro Hammer ARR that looks nice, but I have not heard anything as far as reviews yet.
