discussion First day out for my 1/72 Perkasa

[Guest]

HI friends,

Here are the first photos of my primers sailing test on my new 1/72 Tamiya Perkasa conversion Kit. Seems to sails good. The test lasted over 30 minutes without any problems. For information, I've used a 280 helicopter motor, a 7.4v Water cooled, 1600 mA lipo battery, a Micro boat Ansmann controler, a micro servo for the rudder and a indoor flyer micro receptor. The boat is lite enought to float on it's genuine waterline. Haven't been finishing all the details yet but I'll be send more photos as soon as.

Best regards to all.

Averof

Hello AverofIts Looking good on the water

What prop shaft and propeller have you used

Shaft and propeler are Graupner, Shaft diameter is 2 mm the prop is ther smalest three blaes prop, only 20 mm wide.

Remember a small prop is't obviously slow, but allways less Gluttonous in energy and therefor gives better autonomy.

Keep fit,

Alain

Sorry, I got wrong concerning the propeler. In fact it's a 20 mm Raboech two blades copper propeler.

The three blade graupner is on my son's Micro Hydro foil( less than 12 inch long), see photo underneeth.

Keep modeling.

Alain
