Finally had a chance to do some decent testing this morning with my JAE 21 .
The boat was built for me by David Preusse exactly to the plans , it is dead straight and very well built.
The boat weighs in at just under four pounds RTR.
I tested with a stock 1450 , modified NovaRossi and the Woods S-pipe.
Boat is very impressive , tracked dead straight , accelerates through the turns and is very easy to drive.
I would guess that it was running high sixties to low seventies at best but with some prop changes I expect mid seventies for heat racing without any problem.
One thing that impressed me the most this morning was when the winds started to pick up I was still able to run the boat hard , I have owned a number of 21 riggers over the years and none of them
would have been able to race in that water.
Thanks to David for building me a great little boat for a very reasonable price and thanks to everyone involved from desighning to selling the kit at a price that is very affordable.
Cant wait to spend some more time testing , great little boat.
