That would solve his CofG problem...

It's easy.  Using a clever system of hinges it folds up small enough to store in a shoe box under my bed.

It would be very good on a petrol engine, but I don't rock to that beat.

Let me have a go and it'll fit in a shoe box!!!!

Heavens above Chris, what kind of motor / battery combo do you have in that beautiful monster - ex Whirlpool spin dryer motor with 6,000 Ah fuel cell ?!?!?!

Cheers, Tony

Hi Tony,

It's a Hacker A60-18L motor with 12S 4900mAh lipos and a 22 x 12 prop.  Performance is brisk!

Chris,

Very sorry to read of the demise of this model - WLMAC's June newsletter. Sounds like you were finding the limits and have put it down to experience  . I would have needed a Basil Fawlty car whipping moment.

Hopefully the rest of the kit is recoverable. Any thoughts on a replacement?

[MikeH]

I blame the prop

[Chris]

It all happened in a snap Russ! Keep em peeled down the patch for a replacement. Give me a month or so....
