Hi everyone! 

Even knowing that this week video wasn't going to be the first one of my new "series" I've been working on a couple of future videos and couldn't finish this one on time. Here's a preview of where this video is going, there's a little bit more footage recorded but I haven't done a test yet so you're still on time to put your feedback in there. 

Thanks!!

WATER JET FAST BOAT PART 1

Comments

The first thing I thought when I saw water leaking from the impeller was to print a gasket out of flexible that covers a large enough surface that cracking wouldn’t be an issue.

Water leaking was an issue only because that wall was shared with the holes for the servo linkages and wires, I modified the wall (it can be seen towards the end of the video) so it does not reach as high as to reach the linkage holes and moved the cable holes to the top. In a quick bucket test no water entered the hull. Making a larger gasket was an option considered indeed. Thanks!

you can also buy gasket rubber in sheets. it wouldn't be hard to hand cut a stenciled piece from a sheet and put it between the two pieces of plastic. (not that you need it now, just thinking about other crafting solutions.) it was fun to see you driving your new creation, latest revision. I downloaded the fusion archive and had fun looking through the pieces. I'm curious, why the intake leading edge is so abrupt, versus something that curves and slopes more towards the front? obviously the sharper bend for the intake works great in practice. what about creating a small shelf inside the boat to elevate the electronics (ESC) from the bottom? or does having the lower center of mass become the goal there? I see that you're using the flysky ip6 transceiver. which receiver are you using? ps, I think your viewers would like to see a separate video that just goes over the electronics bits. I've learned enough to figure it out, but this is an area that you gloss over frequently, and I think your experience here is valuable to many.
