The boat you designed is called an outrigger. We used to race them all the time. The key is having a “turn fin” on the inside edge of the sponson closest to the center of the course. It acts like a pivot that the boat turns around. Some folks put a hook on the bottom to plant the sponsor more under hard turning.
Wow! This took me back about 25 years, where as a kid I built a couple of RC boats that looked exactly like one you've made. Litterally the same! It was a lot slower though... back then I only had access to DC motors. Brushless 3 phase motors and LipO batteries had yet to really enter the RC world. Very nostalgic video, thanks!
The brushless motors are DC, but the fish prefer AC-powered hoverboards. So, they set off on a quest to find the mystical flux capacitor, only to discover it was just a toaster in disguise. But fear not, for the talking toaster had the wisdom of a thousand algorithms and guided them to the land of perpetual bubble wrap, where the rivers flowed with melted plastic and the trees bore cotton candy clouds. And thus, they fished under the neon moonlight, serenaded by the harmonious hum of a thousand electric toothbrushes eating in perfect harmony.
@@UppfinnarAXEL Indeed, although the speed controller converts to a 3 phase digital signal, rather than a constant analogue direct current.... I think😅
@@UppfinnarAXEL no, they are just named BLDC because they usually replace standard brushed DC motors. BLDC motors run on 3 phase AC, converted from DC by the ESC

Here from Lake Washington, home of the iconic hydroplane races of Seattle, I might make one suggestion to your speedy craft. If you want the boat to carry more weight (ie a camera mount near the center of gravity) you might try covering your carbon tubes with an aerodynamic wing to give the hull more lift. This is how the unlimited class hydros carry their big turbines.
I lived in Bothell back in the 80s and watched many races on Lake Wasjington. The transition from the Rolls Merlins to the turbines was a bit sad but cool in their own way.
@@phillipzx3754 I completely agree. It was a sad day when the Merlins fell silent. They were no longer the “Thunder Boats” of old. With all the other activities of Seafair the hydro races just aren’t what they used to be. Everyone even knew the names of all the drivers when I was a kid.
Sweet! It's great that the boat can withstand a crash or too. The motor shaft snapping makes sense considering how fast it was rotating when the blades hit the water.
You got some really awesome footage of your boat from the surfboard. Seeing the boat miraculously turn right, away from shore with no steering like a perfectly trimmed free flight model plane. Super Cool!!! it's a win for all. good stuff.
Impressive! How did you choose the shape and dimensions of the hull? Could you give more details into this please? What to do next: make it able to take a ramp and jump, go even faster and with a camera onboard!
Awesome project and insane speed 🔥 Love it! To increase steering efficiency you could add tiny vertical fins to side hulls inner wall low end. They would be in water to add side force and reduce front end sideslip.
It's an expensive startup hobby but once you get the core equipment it's not too bad. Plus also getting, or finding someone or place that'll let you use a 3d printer adds extra fun to the hobby.
Rubberband powered planes are cheap to make. Check out in the indoor f1d planes that can fly for an hour on one strip of rubber. You don't even need propellers though as loads of gliders you can make from free plans online. I want to make a radio controlled discus launch glider, that you throw into the air. once you get a transmitter/ controller, you can make loads of other models cheaply that all work with it.
I think what you should have done IMO is differential steering. In other words, have servos turn the propellers themselves, no rudder. That would make the boat extremely fast AND allow for immediate, rapid steering. I've done this design before and it works really well.
Awesome work. As I assume you may know this is really a variation on the Bluebird hydroplane, which was a 1950's concept. There's a lot you could do on the aero for your air fin, and combine that with a smaller water rudder to achieve better performance.
I built and operated just about everything radio control. Old and broke now. Never finished my last project. A boat design very similar to this. I found a masters thiesis on the design and function of a neutral lift highspeed . I believe you can set a world speed record with this sponson !
Holy shit.. this is totally madness .. WOW.. and the board you have, what a fun thing to have and such a freedom to just give it some throttle and off we go on the sea.. i have a question about the boat though, how does it manage if its a little windy on the sea ? i would assume that it works the best at no wind at all... or as we say in Swedish, Vindstilla.. :D thanks..
Your content is always a pleasure to watch, love your approach to design and the editing is always entertaining. Project suggestion and probably not a good one - jump on the Ai bandwagon Have it generate 3 ideas for each category- aquatic, land and air RC projects and request that it doesn't include anything that's been done before. Then run a poll and hope that the community doesn't Boaty McBoatface the results👍 Personally I'd love to see an RC Squid or some electric water skis (that can go both forward and backwards?) since you're kinda the man to do it if anybody is Respect from 🏴
Hi,another great video, i am always doing rc stuff, mainly 8x8 trucks now and subs now,last great tip i learned is to waterproof pcbs with araldite, hope this helps you out regards greg.

air has friction. whats with all the lies going around?
I came here to say that usually hydroplanes have a skid fin that sticks down from one of the sponsons

Hi Simon. Your hydroplane is a beautiful build and fast as a rocket, awsome job 👍👊

Fair play for taking the L, good show.
I agree, taking the L is honorable... I'd suggest not placing the cf tubes so extremely low next time, since this already is a critical design flaw

Blown away that the crash didn't destroy the boat... nice one!
This was way cooler than i thought it'd be
I found this RUclips channel a while ago and your videos really impressed me.
Great regards from Germany
Regarding expanding insulation foam: If you use the "Door & Window" one it doesn't exert as large an expanding force as other foams.
Wooosh that's fast. Looks cool too. I love the air/water rudder. Id love to see it go over a water ramp and get some air!
Nice Build, this is how people learn! Thanks for sharing.
Very fun toys there, Simon. Good job on that.
Excellent video. Very impressive boat and an entertaining lunch break.
Nice upgrade to the rudder! That RC boat is super fast! Thanks for the video share!
the hydroplaner looks very cool simple enough and fast. good job
Love to see you uploaded a new video! I’m sure it will be great! 👍
I love that powered surfboard!!
Perfect design to have some extendo wings! Go-go gadget!
That’s awesome , great job . Insanely fast.
One of the very few channels I literally stop everything to go watch.
Great camerawork! You captured the feeling of speed perfectly.

I enjoyed watching you solve the problems as they came up.
A fun video.
This was fun! Next build: Airboat, or any type of airplane that can land on water.
Häftigaste bygget! Vilken speed! Grym video
Love your content bro 👍🏼
Good job Simon!
Amazing work!
Slow and steady wins the race
you may not have won the boat race, you certainly won most awsome hydroplane speed built. This is so amazing!
Looks like the Turtle won the race versus the Hare again :-)
Your videos are always so high quality ....love it
slow and steady wins the race!
Hahaha, the classic story of the tortoise and the hare. Love it, awesome boat and video. Always love your work.
Happy to see someone else using my design, It would mean a lot if you could share the link and the love!
Scary fast boat. But that surf board is still by far the coolest thing I've ever seen!
The drag from the motor support is huge. Square edges everywhere.
Two motors like the center one with proportional thrust would work for speed and steering. Space them on the outside mounts.
Awesome video! This really makes me want to get into model building, boats.. planes.. anything with propellers xD

What a beautiful lake!
That was one hell of a ripper you made!
I enjoy this channel immensely
DOH hitting a stationary object. Nice build 2x👍

Thats Bloody good mate from Australia. Love your work
You sir.. are a true engineer..
you are doing a great job , love your channel . keep rolling
Outstanding! Good times had by all 🙂
It looks beautiful there
Perfect model!
That boat is insane!!!
Someone send this man an fpv set!! That would be epic!!
this was really fun
more pls
Thanks!
such a beautiful story
Your a badass Engineer Brother. Nice boat it was blazing fast❤
Unique project as always.. A+ for cinematography and scenary
Solid engineering!
angle the side motors towards each other at a 30ish degree angle for better steering
loved the build man! Cant wait to watch the next video Simon!!
Nice🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 At one point I thought I heard this ancient Swedish violin with played keys.
This moment 7:20 is the best moment all your videos could be you doing this.
Great content dude. Thanks and Blessings.
Awesome boat!
Gött att se Alfred göra lite nytta 😉😄
That is a really beautiful lake.
The rabbit and the turtle ! If you can continue to race, you can win, so why not trying ? 😊
Great for going straight but to turn better round the bottom of each pontoon front 👍
Slow n steady wins the race 😁

It's always a pleasure see your creations! 🔥
Dude, that looks so 'clean' going over the water! Impressive. You should market that thing. :)
This looks so fun!
A modern retelling of the tortoise and the hare. :)

On those higher speed turns it looked like it was a car over steering. You built a drift boat! Sick build
Nice 😊
