AQUB40     V24 Gas Vee RTR Boat 

TECH NOTES

This is the AquaCraft V24 One-Design gasoline powered, radio controlled
Ready-To-Run Racing Boat.
Suitable for modelers 14 years and older.
Built under license from Ocke Mannerfelt design(R).

FEATURES: Hull: Constructed of painted fiberglass, gull-wing race boat
design, double-stepped to reduce surface contact with the
water. Strakes on the underside run parallel from the bow to
transom to give the hull more bite in turns and lift at the
bow. Vertical fin at rear assists with stability at high
speeds. Conventional R/C hulls want to bounce around in rough
water. Air will get under the boat and the driver will need
to slow down and stabilize the boat. Whereas the V24 exhibits
an uncanny ability to remain level under the same conditions
and blasts ahead like a dart.
Radio: Futaba 2PEKA FM pistol grip with End Point Adjustment (EPA)
and dual rates
Servos: S3305 high-torque metal geared servo for operating the Super
Wedge rudder, S3003 standard servo controls the throttle
Radio Box: Constructed of fiberglass with waterproof exit boots and
clear plexiglass lid
Engine: Preinstalled Fuji BT-24 (FJIG0124) with recoil starter and,
waterproof kill switch, requires only regular gasoline mixed with
2-cycle oil, (see instructions)
Tuned Pipe: Spun aluminum with stainless steel support bracket
Drive System: Adjustable Surface Drive (ASD) allows manual angle
adjustment of the propeller. Adding a 3 channel radio system
allows you to have an on-board adjustable surface drive system.
All components including rudder, trim tabs and ASD are constructed
of aluminum. Machined anodized trim tabs feature stainless steel
ride plates with hex head bolt for precise adjustments to improve
handling.
