I have read the NAMBA rule book more than once and I don't see anything that would make this boat illegal for mono racing. It would not be legal in deep vee or offshore classes, but should be ok in the mono classes as long as the sides of the pad form less than a 15 degree angle with the keel line. This is the diagram right out of the NAMBA rule book. Doug

Hello Doug,

Thank you for posting. I have read the rule book too. I did not measure the captioned angle. By observation, the angle should be less than 1 degree. So it is comply with the NAMBA rules. Some guy is building it and intended to race the NAMBA FE mono class. Can see this boat in Winter Warmups late February 2012 in Phoenix, Arizona. See the captioned angle of JetChopper30:

Hello Doug,

Eventually reread the latest NAMBA rule book.

***PAD is legal in electric offshore, mono, deep v, cat***
Section # 28
Page # 9
Section Name: ELECTRIC
Revised 5/15/11
2. OFFSHORE CLASSES
...
ii) Stepped hulls and flat keel ride pads will be allowed on both Deep Vee and Catamaran type hulls.


***PAD is illegal in deep v***
Section # 23
Page # 1 of 2
Section Name DEEP VEE
Official Rule Book Revised 3/15/06
C. HULL SPECIFICATIONS
...
2. The angle at the bottom of the keel line must be a V from transom to bow. No flat
pads are permitted on the keel line.


***PAD is legal in GAS***
Section # 27
Page # 3
Section Name: GAS
Revised 2/19/08
C. HULL SPECIFICATIONS
...
2. Monoplane
a. Mono hulls must have a single riding surface at planing speeds. This planing
surface may be flat or a V configuration.

So I believe the PAD is legal in mono, illegal in deep v.

Happy rc boating,

I agree with you on the rules. I actually have one of your Wavechopper boats that I bought from you quite a few years ago. Unfortunately I've never gotten around to putting it together, but the quality of the boat is very good.

That is a very good looking boat. Have you ever considered making a larger boat for a gas engine? Doug

Very busy with the offset moulding and tools to make some hull variation. No mind to make larger boat in the near feature.

As boaters suggested. Need a stronger boat bottom. Tested with one with the rear 55% of the bottom and transom made with double fiber layers, equivalent to 600g/m^2. Weight increased by 90g. Feel that the bottom is now very strong. The hull weight is now 850g.

Believe that can make the whole bottom and transom with double fiber layers and can maintain the same shipping cost. Estimated hull weight should be 880g.

[leo_home]

Hello boaters,

Since the bottom made with 600g/m^2 fiber. JetChopper30 hull specification changed to:
Weight(new): 850g(1.87lbs)
Bottom and transom shell thickness(new): 2mm
Deck and hatch shell thickness: 1.4mm
Length: 760mm(29.92inches)
Width: 230mm(9.06inches)
Height: 129.5mm(5.1inches)
Deck to keel height: 100.6mm(3.96inches)
Resin: polyester
Fiber: MAT, 300g/m^2 for deck and hatch, 600g/m^2 for bottom and transom
Surface material: gel coat

The bottom and transom are now very strong. Yet, some sort of rails, connecting rods for the motor mount are still highly recommended.

Happy rc boating,


Leo

We tested with different RUDDER SETUP. Found that this setup has pretty good stability to turn at full thottle:

Hello Hugh,

Sorry for the late reply. The software was SolidWorks. I don't have q or s class.

Refer to Glenn Cupit's article on rudder set up, RUDDER "CASTER", A LITTLE CAR TALK, BACK TO BOATS. Articles talk about rudder length and rudder lift. With many testing, I got the following conclusion on JetChopper30 set up:

Offset the rudder 55mm to the right. Pretty stable turn at full throttle. Rudder too close to the centre line has too much prop., keel lift, lower turn stability. In perfect situation, rudder lift just balance the prop., keel lift.
