Alrighty,
Unless somebody ain't fessing up, I have the only two Villains in Europe. You read that right...not one but two! I got the second one Tuesday and got it on the water today. If I could find someone else to drive the second, it would be quite a race!
The second engine/hull from RCboats is awesome! It flies just like the older one. When I first got it on the water, the engine was a bit high and was squirrely. I brought it in, lowered the engine...a bit better but not right. As I decided to bring it in, it hit a wake and I lost control good thing it was only 1/4 throttle...only minor crack under the chin of the cowling as it bumped into a bush. A quick repair, slight lower and tuck under of the engine and it was back to the water. ;D
I was worried about the waves so I kept the turns slow BUT LOOKOUT It flew down the straights as the SS engine cranked on that x440 prop like it was nothing!
Now, if I could just get a GPS, I see 45 mph as the goal to hit.
