[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Gearbest have a"Brand Sale" on so take a look and see what takes your fancy goo.gl/jn4um3 Have Fun, it's what we are here for ;-)

[@philippethke615]

Tigger's RC Reviews how do you charge it?

[@philippethke615]

And what do you plug the power inlet into because it doesn’t fit in the power outlet.

[@georgegonzalez9281]

Awesome camera work! Some of the best I've seen on KZbin. I subscribed so I don't miss any of your work. Thanks!! I have a UD1RC 001 and a ProBoat Jet Jam that I'm having fun bashing and modding. Mostly run them in our pool though. Great hobby.

[@ryanwalter9707]

I’ve got one of these and I absolutely love it the only thing that I would change on it is the ESC and the battery plate so therefore I can go to a bigger battery

[@dylanmackintosh3084]

WOW! what a fast and smooth boat, beautiful drone flying in the stunning north of scotland.

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Thank you, sounds like you have the same appreciation of Scottish Highlands that I have, cheers

[@Friskee62]

Looks like I will be spending some cash....great ta see you doing a boat, thanx.

[@usasupra23]

Can I upgrade the stock 1800 25C 3S battery to the Amazon 2200 35C 3S battery and use the stock charger since the plugs look the same?

[@WildCaptures]

Looks like a nice kit, I loved the aerial tour and the slow motion boating at the end👌😉🖒

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

It truly is a nice fun RC boat, glad you liked the camera fun ;-)

[@Calvertfilm]

Super shots at the end and a great review.

[@backyardbasher]

Surprisingly fast and turns on a dime, I would have expected a built in LV indicator though. Nice review :) and I'm very jealous of where you live :P

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

It really does and yes a LV warning should be included, easy to fix with alarm or timer....or prepare for a swim LOL I live in a beautiful country and am very grateful for that, cheers

[@HemoDrroide]

Hi,again a nice review thanks. drone and boat alone it's crazy ;)

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Thanks, yeah just came to me while playing on the water, heck what on earth could go wrong LOL cheers

[@kanarimentos7056]

mr tiger did you find solution for main shaft bearing keep broken up the original bearing last 15 run then i purchase new last only 3 run bearing broken

[@tbremard]

Is there a diy official kit to build it?

[@dalegunning9044]

Myself and my mates all have one of these and the fto11 they both great boats we also have the Spartans they go even faster

[@mirageoneday9213]

My boat ft012 was already not floating again when suddenly dive and down under the water and not appear on the same day until now...I bought it on September 13 this year

[@Big-Bass-Nation]

Hey I am a previous owner of an RC boat and yesterday it flipped and sunk to the bottem of the lake I went down got it it was only in there for 38 seconds I emptyd it after but it stoped working cus it all got filled with water I really would like to talk to you about this boat review before I buy it

[@kanarimentos7056]

hi the Feilun FT009 and f012 is the same top covers size ????

[@jeffbarton3353]

Any idea how many amps the esc is? Need a replacement and the box is all in chinese🤔

[@Megaman_123]

Very well planned review! Love the quality good job! I think i would pick up the larger version of this one the feilun ft011 i think.. You should try it too loads of fun and its got a beautiful carbon fibre design on the canopy.

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Thank you, I honestly thought the boats would be boring after flying but I had this out last week with friends and had a blast, good luck with whatever you decide, cheers

[@didactylos4diddy474]

Nice. I've always wondered why you can buy good superfast boats rather cheaply (or really cheap like this one) and yet the slower displacement types are so expensive. :( For the record I have found that RC boats, like their flying relatives, should be headed upwind/current where possible so that when they go wrong, run out of power/range they tend to drift back to you Eventually

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Thanks :-) Good advice, I had the H with me so I could blow it where needed with downdraft, way more fun LOL :-)

[@grant666uk]

This would be a fun thing to take out on Linlithgow loch, I'm from Scotland too. lol

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Hi Grant, yep it really is a blast :-) Oh lucky you Falkirk wheel to fly through, hope to do it sometime this year, if I can, cheers

[@thijss1272]

nice review!! i like the footage at the sumary😉

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Thanks, always like a play with slomo if I can :-) Cheers

[@quadcopterfundownunder6566]

Hi Tigger, nice review. Is it just for fresh water or can it go in salt water as well? I had a parrot hydrofoil which the drone could fly alone or you could clip it into the hydrofoil body and go in fresh water. It was controlled through a phone app, which I really didn't like and seamed buggy! I went through three of them with motor burn-outs and one fly-away into the lake. Parrot were very good and replaced it twice, but I really couldn't recommend, especially with a retail price of over $200 AUS, (I purchased two on a $45 special). In short purchased two, had two replacements, don't think I got more than two battery packs use out of any of them :-) using the hydrofoil for the limited time I was able to was fun though! cheers mate.

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Hi M8, I wouldn't run it in salt water think you would have to make it a lot more water tight, that sea stuff is very corrosive. Just my opinion but I have found to my cost that salt water and electronic are not best of buddies ;-) That Parrot sounds a pain, my review would have wound up very different with one like that. This thing is a blast, out with it again yesterday :-) happy flyin'....whether in air or on water LOL Cheers

[@albaniansuperiorshqipetari8055]

I have the FT012 it is fun but the Esc is not that good I changed two and now I can't even find Esc for my boat anymore. Banggood or other websites don't have it. I'm well disappointed that I can't use my FT012 anymore. Can anyone help?

[@AngelLopez-iz3fl]

Can someone help me my remote is mixed up I played around with the transmitter connectors and now I don't know how they connect

[@raymondboots6089]

Excellent review! Thank you very much!

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Pleasure Raymond, really great fun boat :-)

[@bodeksrc8007]

I cant belive how this boat went up on price! 2 years ago I bought it for £49 brand new free shipping to uk from china. Today it is impossible to find it below £70!!! That is after 2 years!!!!!!

[@screenviolence]

Hi, what drone was used?

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

It says it in the video, Yuneec Typhoon H, loads of videos about it on my channel, just search "Typhoon H" on channel home page ;-)

[@cainedavid8437]

Can you connect a smal cam?

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

I guess so, would have to be waterproof and light so as not to turn boat over, not something I would personally do on this model

[@bluelobster56]

so many things to say... * I saw the notice, and I thought "Tigger? Boats? How will that work out?" it worked out !! 😁 * "My newt", lol * first time we've seen your backyard pond. where you been hiding it? * what a great idea to to get a bird's eye view on the boat play 👍👍

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Whooa thanks. Yeah nice area of the garden, didn't do the full 360 pano as you would have seen where they are building the marina, helipad and runway ROFL I was very surprised they sent me a boat but very pleased they did :-) Cheers

[@aperjan100]

what was your run time?

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Should state it in summary, if not let me know

[@mahiddyjuanday6325]

My battery was damaged i. cant replace it,please help me

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

This one should fit and give you longer time goo.gl/N7CG75 or if not they have small size ones ;-)

[@KTHKUHNKK]

THAT THING SCREAMS KEITH KUHN

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Yes mate it truly does :-) Cheers

[@ARC3333]

I can't trust mine, was good at first but then it got a mind of its own a couple times an had to get a real boat to get it, it wasn't out very far and it would go full throttle or not respond the the controller at all

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

That's not sounding good, but I guess you can get a problem with anything, hope you get it sorted. Still having fun with mine and out yesterday, if it works it is fast and fun. Hope you are soon back in full control, good luck

[@MartinRodgers2255]

simply excellent.

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Thanks Martin :-)

[@rcboatgrnikolas5954]

very good

[@johnaverick7468]

That shouldn't be getting wet in there anyway to tell you the truth. Other reviews on this boat stays very dry inside.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Actually I find that this boat (though a lot of fun and quite fast) does tend to let in a lot of water. Especially in comparison to the smaller brushed versions. The problem (and some reasons for it and cures) is discussed in the RC groups forums thread on the boat. The drive shaft also needs to be completely lubricated every handful of runs (or modified) or it will be very quickly worn out.

[@freemanontheland24]

WO NICE ONE

[@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN]

Thanks kool RC toy :-)
