It was a great day but if you took your eyes off your boat it would end up all over the place lol really tested the skills
The only two variants I know of is the one that was sold by HK which did not come with a radio and another sold through other distributors which included a radio. All made by Beili.
Will do but it will be a few days as the pictures are on my PC and we have had to disconnect the internet this morning for a few days for some room remodeling. At least I still have my phone to keep across the forums. My Phoenix is still to get wet. Long story. Pred will enlighten you. Have more fun building and modifying than getting wet.
With the Monsoon and Phantom you could get the bulb to be anywhere between 1600-1800 gm using lead shot. You could get to 2000gm cutting the bulb open and laying in lead sheet.
The Focus bulb is 2000gm. Just looked on HWH site and they want $65 plus delivery. That’s 1/5 of the price of a new one including a radio. Bit strong.
My Phoenix bulb weighs 995gm so could be a different version to yours.
I think 3000gm is going to be to much.
Have you tried just wrapping some lead sheet around the bottom of fin to see what weight you should be aiming at. Not very stream line but will give you a good clue to the weight you should be aiming for.
Maybe you can borrow a Monsoon/Phantom/Focus bulb and temp fix it to the your fin. Make sure it is secure as finding a replacement will be a big problem. Obviously you cant modify the borrowed bulb.
A Monsoon bulb at 1600gm would be the heaviest I would go I would say. The lead sheet on the fin would be my first try. Has been done many times before.
Looks like a great day was had by all very annoyed I could not make it as I was really looking forward to joining one and all having a fly and then sitting about at the B.B.Q telling porkies along with you all. My turn will come for a fly.
Great video men Hey Ross it’s taken along time but I see some small improvement
Cheers

Sorry I couldn’t make it this week fellas I had a doctors appointment will be back next week for the 95s
Thanks for an putting up with my DF 65 getting in the way. Lots of fun and I learned a lot. Very different from the big heavy offshore boats I am more used to, and a lot more challenging in many ways. Next week is going to be good!
Love the videos, thanks Kermit, and know I know what really happened up the top mark
Cheers,
Ben
It was a good day after the crap weather we have had was pretty happy just to be sailing today even though I visited the fountain lol
It was a perla of a day with some great Racing the pics look awesome can’t wait till next week for the 65s
Got it, was not sure if Kermit had just got out of hospital after his accident or was that failed sky diving attempts. Good to read he is back in fine form at the canal last weekend.
Great build Pred, lot of work gone in to this. Was the power upgrade so you can try and avoid that dangerous media boat from up the canal?
Enjoying the build Pred, thanks for posting. Very quiet hobby wise over here. Just finished the school holidays over here and happy to report that all RC trucks survived and returned to the garage needing just some maintenance. As you would know from my previous posts on SS this is a very rare event and I normally have to take out a loan for the repairs. Hopefully some sailing in a few weeks. Is that picture of Kermit before or after he got run over??
