hydrofoil 1000mph

0 igeot  8.9 years ago

Update on my 770mph hydrofoil. Will just do 1000mph, then kill you. Instructions - adjust VTOL slider to a tiny tiny bit off top position. 10% power, at 100mph the front will come up, wait. At about 200mph only foils will be on water, full power now. At 600mph pull down on right stick VERY slightly. It'll reach 1000mph without further input. Steering is on right stick, above 50mph that will also kill you.

    Modification to instructions - getting it up on to the foils is finicky. If it starts to wobble once up on the front, you're going to roll. Most reliable method I've found is VTOL slightly below top of slider. Power to about 20%. At 100mph push up on right stick for a second or so and release. As the rear foils rise it will become more stable. Wait until it is, and then full power. At about 600mph push and hold ever so slightly down on right stick. Top speed varies depending on exactly where you are holding right stick, I've had it flip out anywhere between 950 and 1010mph.
