Skydiver 6 foot new build.

So impressive! The Lipos video, with the correct digital editing could be a new episode of the show! (Minus the water foul, the fisherman and the person trying to feed your craft.)

Going to test tomorrow (Sunday 7th) Hope for the best :)

Looks great! I hope that they are big enough

[RCnut]

Ok Just replaced the Graupner Jets, they were failing under the load, So I have installed New Kehrers, I am keeping the Brushless motors so a direct comparison can now be made between the two different Jet drives. I have fabricated a waterproof Box Just for the motors and jets and if this works as well I will be thinking of ways to get this beast under water in the future.

[RCnut]

Thank you guys, Hmmm I was quite happy with the PBs, I'll pass along the compliment to Mrs RC nut, She just learning about zooming in and out on her phone lol.

[greenman407]

Yep, the lipos move her along better, for sure. Can you go 6s? That might get her up out of the water a little more. The Mrs. is a pretty good camera man....er woman.

Magnificent, Mamas. Glorious! What a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

RC:
While you're making trim adjustments, perhaps you could add torpedoes or mini Gatling guns to clear out those pesky swans!

Tommie

[RCnut]

Nope, no foam, I'd rather do it so If I decide later on to stick a trim tank in there I can. So just block up the holes :)

[Subculture]

Perhaps you could fill it with expanding pu foam. it will add a small amount of weight, but minimal and will make it waterproof.

[RCnut]

I'm thinking to just Seal up the Sky 1 so no water can get into it, Also re position the equipment inside further back. I'm also thinking of going over to lead acid Batteries which will give me less speed but more duration and are also not bothered by water so much.

[Tom Martin]

Shouldn't be too difficult a fix and she'll be good to go! Perhaps a bit of foam in the SKY and a little lead in the DIVER. Then back to the water to scare some swans.

Remember what happened in episode "Sub-Smash"? Straker said that Sky1 cannot be launched if more than 10 degrees down. Better get it right Mister or youll have Colonel Fraser propelled into the sea floor. OOOPPPSSS!

[Subculture]

That skyone will never fly!:)
