Hey guys I finaly finished my Dumas Little Raskel. I followed the plans to the letter and gave it a HB .12 engine. I took it to the pond today and as you can tell from the title it wasn't good. I had the same problem as PJ's hydro. It just plowed the water and only got on plane for a second or two. :'(
I heard about PJ's problems after it was too late. I had the boat painted and almost ready to go so I diden't want to cut it apart and change the strut as he had to do. I'm going to try a few different props tomorrow and see what happenes. I might even take off the turn fin to reduce drag. I'll let you guys know if it works.
It just made me kinda mad that the kit doesn't work like it should.
