Thanks, in large part, to this channel, I drove 880 miles to WA to watch Sea Fair last year. I've always loved hydroplanes but thanks to this channel I got into radio controlled hydroplanes and decided I had to go see the real ones in person. It was an experience I'll never forget and one I hope to make an annual occurrence.

I live in San Antonio now but I was born on Mercer island and lived on the rock for 35 years. I was actually a pit boy for the Miss Budweiser and I can seriously tell you your interests in hydros is well deserved.

@@M5PerfHydros Thanks Scott! i've been watching the series over the last few days, im in Australia an it's really hard to get any kits over here from the states without paying 2-3x the price of the kit in shipping, however i found lastnight that Blazer Marine ship at reasonable prices an think i'm going to pull the trigger on one, thanks for all the helpful videos!

Seeing the boats in Oret Bay makes me feel refreshed. 👍 Thank you for the video. 🙏 I remembered small boats such as ABC HOBBY's Gancia dei Gacia, CESA1885, and BALTEK. PRATHER LAPCAT 21, 40 Many things come to mind Japanese boat maker KNK also comes to mind. CREST 1000 .40 cc engine (ops)..... 🛥😁 and OCTURA (White Heat).. 😲 Thanks to you, I'm happy because it brings back a lot of old memories. 😄🥰

Was easy to miss that you put out another pit area/racing video... Always great to see what everyone's doing! Some great paint work and detail work! Hard to believe I'm the first to comment. I know why... Everyone else is working on their own boat or at the pond testing!!! Like I should be! By the way, I'm not a coffee drinker... Great work, Scott.

I'm always looking for something from M5!!! Learned a lot from you and your videos!! A LOT easier to find, NOW!!

The Hydra ESC is one of the best it looks like he had a fly color in there before not the way to go Hydra castle creations meant

Prop rotation makes gas boats turn right better, as we get into electric its not so important as they have L/H and R/H props ,

@M5PerfHydros

2 ай бұрын

Engine rotation. Full size hydroplane engines rotate clockwise causing the hull to rotate counterclockwise resulting in a lifting of the right side sponson. If the boats turned to the right they would tend to simply flop over in the turns. Most RC engines rotate counterclockwise lifting the left sponson, so we turn right.
