AIR BOATS ?

thanks for the info, let us know how it woeks out. Got them to put a place for us to post then went on long hours at work no time to play

Hi all

Until visiting this forum yesterday i hadnt heard of "airboats" and i must say they sure look like fun.
I decided to have a go at making a cheap and quick mock up out of some poly foam. Im sure it shows but i didnt do any plans for this i just cut the foam and started gluing it together to resemble something that looked like a boat.
Whilst making it i was about to work out how to fit a rudder then thought why not mount the motor on a moving part controlled by the servo instead of having a rudder.

I know its not fantastic but only took a couple of hours to make and thought if it runs ok ill make a nice one out of a more suitable material.

Stuck it in the bath and it sits quiet nicely, on laminate flooring it moves quiet quick and turns responsively.
Cant wait to get it on the lake lol
