Took advantage of what may be the end of summer days here in WI.
Put the boat in the water after some changes in controls. Initially a bit stern heavy submerged. Adjusted trim, and was able to get some GOOD submerged runs. Felt more like flying the sub!
This thing is fast submerged!
Water was murky 3 feet down. I lost it once near some weeds, when I wasn't standing out in the river, and shut the radio off waiting for it to pop up, Which it did! I may add a LED.
Overall I prefer the ballast motor controls on channel 4 vs 5 on the VEX.. Still having some issues with burps on the ballast motor with the AST level controller, but overall much better behaved. Sub is drying out and final trim wight adjustments are set before winter lay up. If we get an Indian summer it will go out again.
There was a tendency to rise on tight turns while submerged. Thoughts?
For all those who have helped: Thank you!
