Gas Winston Lobster 2nd run video! Very cool

[Mike Luszcz]

This is a video I just found on Jim's of Gary Goulds Gas Lobster build running for its second time. Here is a quote from Jay Stone on the run:

"Here is a video of Gary Gould's beautiful ML Boatworks Winston Eagle Lobster Boat... Only 2nd time on the water - boat is a little light on the front end and he's not running full throttle in fear of blowing it off. It's an absolutely beautiful boat..."

I used to have a lobster boat and it would run light like that. Eventually if I went faster it would take off like an airplane with a long smooth take off, not an abrupt blow off. Still I could not stop it but had to watch as even letting off the throttle would not prevent it from continuing take off. Spoilers on the front wing at about a 20 to 30 degree angle kept it from blowing off. I would suggest the spoilers before it blows over.

yep and a little more up force on the tail wing and a bit more -strut angle to push the nose down should be a rocket once all worked out

10/4 on that

Beautiful boat. Once you get the nose down a tad it will be a rocket. Keep the vids coming.
