hi again. If you have read my other thread you will know i am building a speedmaster .21 mono.

just wondered how i would go about launching.... do you simply drop the boat in the water.. drop and push.. throw it in.etc

Regards

The best way to launch any model boat is to provide a bowling ball type toss. Dropping the boat can sometimes cause the engine to stall.

with a 21 you should be able to put the boat in the water and it should take off

if you are having problems mite be your fuel what you using

With everything being surface drive...they get a little harder to launch unless you want a shower...heh. Gotta kind of have forward motion on it, and have the back end point away from you a little when it hits the water.

My .45 speedmaster mono...I kind of toss it out there a little sideways, and it grabs and takes off.

My Feedback: (1)

I do an underhand toss like what Jerry described. The boat gets up on plane faster and less if no cavitation. I feel that it's also easier on the driveline.
I've got a buddy that I'd pit for that raced an .80 mono. I learned how to give it a long toss then turn away quickly as he liked to launch at what seemed like near full throttle and I'd get hosed down every time!
