About this model
####A simple and highly manoeuvrable air boat. ####It is mounted onto a piece of foam board with some BBQ skewers, which is then mounted onto a block of polystyrene cut into a 'boat' shape. ####Use a 9g servo for the steering. ####The are two types of motor-mount here: 2208 and 2212 motor. ####If you need an 'X-Mount' to attach to the motor, print one from here: ####Use a 5 inch prop (or trimmed 6 inch prop). The closer the tip of the prop is to the prop-guard, the more efficient it is. ####If you can, use a clockwise prop, because then the direction of rotation causes the prop-nut to stay tightened. ####The video shows it in action with a 2S lipo battery and it is powerful enough for me. 3S or more would be insane, but be careful, a hot motor might warp the PLA. ###
