Hammerhead .21

Interesting Hammer san,

That prop should be too big to let it wind out. did you try a 220?

 

[Hammerhead]

A 220? I use a 220 with my .12. A 220 is way too small. I tried one of my friends 225's that had It's diameter chopped 1mm. It wasn't enough. The boat was begging for more.

 

[TimD]

OK, Well I guess the 230 it is then! Is it faster than your previous 21's?

 

[Hammerhead]

Yeah! It is way faster than previous .21s that I have made for myself, but the last one that I made for myself was about 10 years ago. And I will admit that it was a sloth. It had an SE-M .21 side exhaust in it. The ones I have built recently for other people are usually a lot bigger than this one.

This new one's tub is only 70cm long and the whole thing with an empty tank weighs 1475 grams. Usually I build order made .21s at about 2.2kgs.

Much heavier.

Wow, that is light. Mine came in at 1700grams RTR less fuel and I thought that was light! Does it hop with the 14 series props?

 

[Hammerhead]

People say it will probably hop, but I haven't tried yet. I will let you know. I know the 937 made my .12 hop all over the place.
