Hydrofoil (T shaped foil, WIP)

30 Harveyconsidine  7.0 years ago

This is the base concept of a hydrofoil, it works without gyro but it is much more stable with it on. To get up on the water just start at water take off, then put power at 100%. To steer you can roll/ yaw, it is more effective with both, and if the front of the boat goes down to far just pull on the pitch.
