Hydrofoil prototype

457 pulpyrules  8.8 years ago

Working and stable hydrofoil concept. Great turning radius at low to medium speeds. Just put 70%ù power and let it accelerate. It will get to 170 mph and still have great cornering. Use pitch to get the ship out of the water to accelarate even faster up to 290 mph. It can go faster but it will fly (added roll to control it in flight ... ) Please upvote if you like it!!!
