A whole new class of fun has come to the pond. We now have 5 club members with hydroplane boats and several others indicating they will join the fleet soon. These 1:12 & 1:13 scale boats can run 40 mph right out of the box, are fairly stable, fun to watch and even more fun to drive. They utilize the very latest in brushless motor technology and the UL-1 comes with the latest in 2.4 Ghz radio gear as well. The "Aquacraft UL-1 Superior" Unlimited Light Class boat is available at Hot Hobbies & RC here in Montgomery, Tower Hobbies, Off Shore Electrics and Kintec Racing. There is a beautiful 1:12 Unlimited Class Hydroplane offering by "Pro Boat" called the "Miss Elam" which is available at Horizon Hobby. Finally...there is a very cool 1:13 scale builders boat available in several versions at Vac-U-Boats.
Check the "Links "Section"
below for these sites.
This boat looks a lot like the UL-1; but it's the UL-4, a full scale Unlimited Light Hydroplane.
Another similar looking boat.
There is a wide variety of designs to choose from in this class.
