Betty sails

While the Huntsman is under development, Bouncing Betty was a great success. You can see a video of her here.

It seems that the state of the battery is very important. My first battery was good and the model zipped along really nicely. The second hadn't taken a full charge and while the sailing was good, the speed wasn't up to much. She still gets up on the plane thanks to the slightly top-heavy figure.

My only problem is that I have 2 more of these models and it's really tempting to fit them up in the same way. If you fancy doing the same thing, you'll need a SU/EB 30s speed controller to emulate these efforts.
