Tks for the class on my way to build mine for my recovery boat miss geico 36 v twin.

[@joelepack938]

I'm building one right now. Thanks!

[@EP50009]

Awesome!

[@toddshobbyzone659]

Thanks for the ideas, I made a boat very similar and it works well

[@Monoglot2]

Thank You for all the info i used your sizes and it works great!

[@EP50009]

Fantastic, good to know!

[@chefchef183]

Thanks for the info gave me some ideas for my build

[@roadstar499]

Most definitely a a great rescue rig from the way it handles..no added bulk or weight. not sure it can handle choppy water though... flipping it would not be good..thanks for explaining.

[@EP50009]

its way wider than any boat you would be rescuing, why would it be unstable?

[@roadstar499]

@@EP50009 never said it was...wind and waves could cause issues...

[@EP50009]

@roadstar499 you said, choppy water.

Great Job

[@BillEvans-o3u]

I think this would more in line with our needs,what do you think?

[@MapTheMissing]

Wondering if I can attach that to the back of a 6 ft kayak, would need more power maybe? Only need it to go 2.5-3 mph though.

[@EP50009]

would need lot more power, a trolling motor would work way better

[@donalddelgado1666]

Hello. Great video and great idea. I plan on building one. How did you attach the prop to the motor? I see some nuts in bolts in the video. Did you have to buy those separately? Also, did you screw that helicopter tray for the battery on the PVC pipe or did you just zip tie it? Thanks.

[@EP50009]

The hardware comes with the motor.

[@flopackrc5452]

Great rescue boat .. what propeller adapter did you use 3mm to 5mm ? Link ?

[@EP50009]

no adapter, i just drilled the prop hole bigger

[@Raven_of_Doom]

thanks for vid. Did you use a pusher prop? or can you take a standard prop and run motor in reverse? flip prop around?

[@EP50009]

[@Raven_of_Doom]

@@EP50009 Mmmm, I think they push, thanks

[@wezob4569]

Question, does the prop fit the prop adapter for the flashhobby motor or did you have to make any modifications to the shaft diameter?

[@EP50009]

no you will just need to drill the prop center, its easy and does not need much precision

[@wezob4569]

@@EP50009 ok understood thank you, it's been difficult to find props to fit the adapter that comes with that motor.

[@donalddelgado1666]

Hello. I believe I ordered the same motor and esc as yours but the motor has a 3.5mm male plug and the esc has a 6.0mm female connector. I can’t seem to find an adapter for them. What did you use and could you provide a link please? Thanks

[@EP50009]

if thats the case I just solder on new connectors

[@donalddelgado1666]

Thank you. That is what I did.@@EP50009

[@kentsaxon4684]

thanks for the video! Im a total newbie. I know NOTHING. I found the prop, the motor, the servo, and the flyway 150 "thing". I am having trouble selecting a RC Radi controller that will "crank 150" side to side. Can you suggest a link? Also a battery link would be great. Sorry for being ignorant to this, trying to learn. thanks!

[@EP50009]

any remote that can set endpoints, such as a spektrum dx5 rugged, noble nb4, ones that usually have a screen will have it. I use a 5000mah 4s battery fr amazon with a xt90 plug, which should be the plug for the 150a esc

[@kentsaxon4684]

@@EP50009 thank you so much. I notice those controllers are $250 or so. None of the cheaper ones in the $80 range will work ok for this? Trying to make this on a budget as I will only use this for a specific situation and have no plans on using the controller for any other RC vehicle as I dont have any.

I’m just about ready to build this rig but I have just one more question please. I noticed in other rescue boat videos, the builders encased their ESCs in inner tubes pieces to water proof them and but their receiver, battery and connectors in a Tupperware container. Why did you not do anything like that on your rig? Do you think it’s a good idea to do that? Thanks

[@EP50009]

ESC is waterproof, so is everything else. Battery can always get wet, they are air tight for a reason.

[@donalddelgado1666]

@@EP50009 OK. Thank you

[@donalddelgado5044]

How many inches of pvc do you have going up from the 45 degree that you mount the motor on? Thanks.

[@EP50009]

about 4 inches

[@zeeek1]

What size prop? Pusher or normal?? What size battery??started buying stuff to make one that Paul Deity (Marco Deity?) designed but it has a lot more crap on it. I might rather make your version.

[@EP50009]

Its a 11x5 drone prop. whatever size battery you want, mines a 4s 5000, which gives it a ton of run time and lots of power.

[@panetiermichel7221]

Bonjour très belle réalisation PS je voudrais bien savoir la référence ou la marque de votre hélice merci Cordialement Mr Michel

[@EP50009]

Hello, Master Airscrew drone

[@mpampiskokkotis4205]

Nice work, what kind of 11X5 propeller are you using CCW/CW ?

[@EP50009]

counter I think, but when you buy drone props, they come in both direction

[@peterdoe8225]

Hi Ethan I'm have trouble finding the right prop online 11x5 thrust could you point in right direction please.

[@EP50009]

on amazon theres master airscrew 13 inch multi rotor props that fit, youll have to drill out the center to fit

[@EP50009]

1/2" pvc was used in this build.

[@barryblaisdell]

looks great but is it powerful enough to rescue a sailboat such as a DF 95?

[@EP50009]

it can pull in completely flooded 50+ gassers

[@screamingwingsrc8917]

Great video but i do have a question. I ordered the robo servo but I noticed there are no holes in place to attach the motor mount to the U bracket, at least none that match the pattern. Did you have to drill that out as well to attach the previously mentioned motor mount? Thanks

[@EP50009]

yes you can drill one more hole to accomodate the motor, I just use whatever hole is available and drill one more.

did you have to drill the servo bracket to mount the motor or was it already drilled?

What brand radio can go past 100 percent,maybe a cheaper radio with a receiver?, did receiver get put inside a balloon for waterproofing? 😆

What brand of transmitter and receiver goes 150 percent? For the turning purpose?

Thanks for answering my questions,I'll just ask Iron Clad,he will help.

[@johnvinson1939]

My build was much simpler. I cut a small branch off of a tree, that was in the shape of a "Y", and I tape it to one of my others boats and then go out and rescue the dead boat. Simple, Huh?
