hydroplane

Hi guys, please forgive my lack of RC boat knowledge; but recently I have become quite obsessed with old unlimited hydroplanes. I have built a few balsa aeroplanes but now I'm breaking into the world of RC boats! Anyway, due to restricted budget (saving for a house, getting married 😬) I have...

What’s up everyone, My name is Jason and I’m new to Electric/Gas RC boating but I’ve been a general RC enthusiast for some time.(buggies/on road vehicles) A friend of mine got me into trying out the Proboat Sonicwake V2 and after messing around with it on 6S I just found that this was the...

Vintage Dumas Miss Thriftway 1/2a Cox powered, 2 ch rc hydroplane with Cox Engine. I have a NOS working Proboat 2 ch radio (JR Python "TX/RX") I can throw in for an additional 15.00 but I am sure you all have radios. $250.00 pick up in person or shipping available, shipping weight is 4 pounds...

I am looking to better understand the dimensions that RC Unlimiteds lists in their boat registry pages. Specifically, is there a diagram somewhere that shows where the various measurements are taken on a hydroplane? More specifically, what is "A.P.L." and "P.F.D."? How is hull depth measured...

After reaching out to my local district it turns out no one races c or X class nitro riggers here. There is a vibrant group of G1 & GX2 gas riggers though so I am changing my plan to go in that direction. I heard the following boats mentioned but know nothing about them. If anyone has any...

heh, excuse my excessive enthusiasm (if there is such a thing ) as I have already completed most of the work in this project, much to my delight.... I want to thank anyone in advance that actually takes the time to read through this entirely, as I regret not posting this earlier in time. As...

Hello, I am new here, new to outriggers, new to scratch-building boats. That said, I bring diverse experience from other types of RC, Racing, Scratch Building, etc. I am building an outrigger hydroplane prototype from foam core board and balsa because I have experienced such incredible progress...

This is a a one of a kind. Not lake worthy but would make a cool mantle piece....big mantle required. Might be a nice addition to the Hydroplane and Raceboat museum. http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/for/4321772106.html

Read the post description. I guess not all the Unlimited teams have deep pockets ;) http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/for/3945080399.html

Up for sale is a Faulk Marine 1/8th scale Budweiser Hull (boat stand pictured not for sale). I purchased the hull from John Olson last year in hopes of making it into a 91-93 Bud. John was in the middle of prepping it for the 99 Miss Madison. Tiplets have been removed (I still have them) and...

Hey All, I'm interested in getting pictures of the changes that transpired from the 1996 version of the T-5 to the 2004 version of the same boat (mhr 9601). I know that by 2003/4 the T-5 Bud was almost identical to the T-6 Bud. I'm curious as my local scale club currently only has one...

Hey there. Can anyone provide a quick history of the Budweiser T6 hulls. I believe there were two. One or both went to Formula but I'm not sure where they are now. I recently picked up a Budweiser T6 and if I cannot get the registration in my local club I'd like to know what other boats it can...

Looks like KC Andres hull. Nice looking boat.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-8th-Scale-Oh-Boy-Oberto-2010-Hydroplane-Hull-/290854636929?pt=US_Character_Radio_Control_Toys&hash=item43b8498d81
