You don't trim a wing out...ever!!!
Remember it's a 4 point hydro....not a cat.

Way cool!:ernaehrung004:

When we were designing and running for records in RC boats we did some testing with a gyro, (from an RC helicopter), controlling a wing on a canard style 3 point hydro. With that technology, on your 4 point, would it eliminate the blow over issue? Worked, but was then illegal.

Congrats on completing the Wing. I've been reading about it since you started. I like the overkill factor. Too much hp is never enough.:ernaehrung004:

Rich,
Put some stock 280hp on it and go set the ss record.

Looks awesome running

[QUOTE=EYEBURN;2654623]The first boat i owned was a switzer, kinda cool to see this one.


My first boat was a Switzer also. A shooting star with an inline 6 black max. It was a beast!

T2rex, Congrats on your 'black boat up and down motor' World Chanpionship. I was a close battle.

Thanks for the compiment, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't point out that there never was a Mercury inline 6..."Black Max".

The Black Max was the first Mercury V-6.

Don't feel bad. A "famed" boating writer..... who shall remain nameless...... (Initials "BB").... has droned on and on about his early boating "experiences" with his "in line 6 Black Max "tower of power".

It didn't exist for him either.:D:D

Nice job, Rich. Always good to see others who appreciate something.....different. ;)
