I would have never thought what worked for an RC would transfer to a full size boat, but I guess it does. I learned to stop disagreeing with the guys years ago.
We owe more of our success in GNs to the prop work than we openly admit to. If the prop is right, all the HP and driving can't fix it.

Cool story. I've wanted an rc boat for a while...but I really want a Chris Craft type barrel back. I was all for one...until I found out how much they are to build. Now it's on the back burner. I plan to get a PBY Catalina hopefully in the near future...so maybe that will take care of my boat want?

Only 1 crash under my belt. :)

How do you like the X830? Does it fly "well" with a GoPro and gimbal? What are your typical flight times?

I've been wanting a multirotor for a while just to use with a GoPro...

Something with tracks, that would be better, one hand for the speed control, one for my beer.

These are some good looking planes.

That's a weird place to crash it, why didn't you just get out of the way? Did you know what direction it was headed?

I like it, the gimbal makes a world of a difference as far as video quality. The have a new foldable model :thumbup: Flight times with one battery are somewhere around 7 minutes.

LOL, I didn't really have a choice as it threw two blades about 50ft. up.
