At the pond
Make sure your transmitter and receiver batteries are
fresh, or fully charged.
Do a range check with your transmitter in low power if
available, and note the distance. You should do a range
check every day that you run. Should a problem arise,
you can fix it before you damage anything.
Tape the lid on the radio box with radio box tape,
Make sure that your prop is sharp and balanced.
Fill the fuel cell; turn on your transmitter, then receiver.
Wiggle the rudder so you know it works, and then start
the engine.
Don’t rev the engine much, as there is no load on the
prop until it’s in the water.
To launch, have a helper drop the boat in level.
You can give it a little gas as it gets to the water, but not
too much. Most people don’t like getting sprayed with
water…
Let the engine warm up for 30 seconds or so before
giving it full throttle.
Drive past yourself, and make sure you have a stream of
cooling water.
If you don’t see any, bring it in pronto!
If all looks good, hit it!
Notice how the boat rides in the straights. Does it lean or
pull to one side?
Is the deck level or nose high?
How about the turns? Does the nose rise or fall in the
turns? Does it slide or hook? Hop?
It’s a good idea to have a helper write down your
comments as you run the boat. After the run, you can use
the included
” Tuning Tools” sheet to help you sort out
any problems.
