I cannot even begin to tell use guys how smooth the power and overall ride is on this tub!


The amount of power available is truly amazing!

I was worried about docking. Its easier then the blower motors.
After all ya got brakes! I come in on one screw and just brake to stop and release to pick up speed.

On one screw at idle it limps at 4mph.

Ok here is some footage Airtime did today.
It is how you shift the turbine from forward neutral reverse.
I just press the micro switch as I pull the shift lever.


I think its pretty cool how it works.

The propeller actualy stops dead.
you can see the cv grease from the exploding boot.
I would not want to try this at speed.

Stay tuned for some High Speed runs!:cool-smiley-026:
