colinhilton: Monoski Mods

Simplification of the outline following the static flotation test, the chassis now comprising hydroski, spars and 'T' frames of similar build. The foremost of these is adaptable as an airfoil, but otherwise includes a foam panel to raise the motor clear of the waterline along with a rear stabiliser. In place of the panel the rear 'T' frame houses a rudder surface for actuation by a servo mounted topside; adding moveable surfaces to the stabiliser would also provide for control in pitch. While structurally complete, the 'T' frames will nonetheless be bridged by a length of carbon-fiber to support the battery-pack and avionics. Dimensions as previous, the motorised airframe weighing just 6.25 lbs.
