Boy does that boat fly.
First trials of the Tomkat and things are looking good. Even with the battery packs on their first charge the craft flew across the water. Turns are good – if required you can spin it around in an amazingly short space. I need to shorten the horns on the servo as one is rubbing on the battery. Running the packs thought a few charging cycles should improve output and running duration.
The only complaint is that reverse is almost non-existent. The prop is turning but not a lot happens. Who cares though, this boat is designed to go forward !
We’ll replace the propeller with a brass one as soon as it arrives and see what difference that makes. A drive is also required – the rules of the competition say so and the boat looks stupid without one.
