I will admit, it's a lot of pieces to haul, put together, and take apart. It's a work in progress.

@@bama3dr608 thanks I'm definitely getting one soon

Thanks! That's weird. I'll have to figure out if I need to change a setting.

The hard floor just makes it feel a lot more solid on the water and let’s you use regular seats and put things in the boat that could damage the inflated vinyl.

Sorry, just now seeing this. No, it's still stock tune and yes, this was all in Acro mode.

Yes, it was.

I'm trying to decide if I want to upgrade this one with the new O3 Air Unit. That thing looks sweet with the built in stabilization and would trim about 10g off the total weight. The built in recording on the original air unit crapped out a while back, which is why this vid was just goggle DVR.

@@bama3dr608 I was curious if you have Air Mode on, during the flight? I have it set up on a switch

@@jameslinder8143 Yes, I did. Mine's set up to have air mode on when it's in acro mode.

Thank you for the quick responses, and being so helpful ! I really appreciate it man! Great flying by the way! Awesome 👍

No, I didn't. It flies really well with the stock tune on these props.

It depends on what power setting we use, but at about 75% throttle we can go a few hours and keep the battery from going below about 50% charge. At that throttle setting we would be traveling at about 2.5 MPH without any wind. If you're willing to go slower, say 50% throttle, you could probably go for 5 or 6 hours and cover even more ground.

I think it had been a while since it rained. The creek was bone dry.

We got it from Amazon. If you go on there and search "folding stadium seat" a whole bunch of different styles will pop up.

Thank you! I'll try to put together a video with dimensions of the top and cart.

@@bama3dr608 Wow that would be absolutely wonderful thank you so much. I've taken a few screenshots of when you looked underneath the boat with your camera and when the boat was off it, I could go ahead with trial and error but your sizes would be even better if you shared the individual pipe sizes and how many Ts & elbows are required etc here would go a long way. Please keep in touch and let me know.🙏 🙂

@@bama3dr608 I was about to make one from another utube video, I've got the 10" wheels and 1metre axle already but now I've seen yours il give it a miss. The other video only had one extension pipe and I like the idea of two for better balance etc. The other video was really made for a kayak.

@@markweatherall7437 Yes, I would agree. It really needs the two pipes to support the floppy boat and it lets you grab onto both and pull the boat like a rickshaw. I don't think it would work very well with a single pipe for the handle.

@@bama3dr608ua-cam.com/video/FJ23KSR2zxk/v-deo.html BoilerMan1 here made one for his IE4 and I was going to try it for the IE5 following another guys instructions for a kayak but after seeing your its a no brainer.

Sure thing, thanks!

I believe all the primitive campsites are in the same campground with the RV sites, so you can park right next to your site.

@@bama3dr608 ok thanks so much for the info!

I would agree. I read a write up where a guy laminated sheets of coroplast, basically making a single piece plastic “plywood” floor and I think I may go that route.

Thank you!

It's such a cool place. One of those spots that seems like you would have to travel several states away to get to, but it's right here in our back yard in Alabama.

Thanks Jeff! I've been enjoying your stuff too. Keep at it.

@@bama3dr608 was this flight a FPV? I was blown away by the obstacle avoidance...

@@JBENHIKES That’s right. I was using a little FPV drone with the DJI FPV system built in. With the goggles and virtually zero latency in the video feed it makes it pretty easy to see and fly around and under things. Also, really feels like you’re flying around like a bird with the goggles on.

I don't speak Portuguese, so I hope Google translate gets this right: Já faz um tempo, mas acho que era uma lipo 3S 450 25C.

I know what you mean, the big deep cycle batteries are HEAVY. The connectors I used for each of the little batteries are called "XT60" connectors. The 60 means they're rated for up to 60 amps. The larger connectors that I used to connect the trolling motor to the power box is an "XT90" connector. One thing about these connectors though is they have to be soldered on to the ends of the wires. If you would rather crimp them and not have to worry about soldering you could use Anderson Powerpole style connectors. These 45A ones would work fine on each battery: www.amazon.com/Anderson-Powerpole-Connectors-Amp-pair/dp/B00W8TN4KY/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=anderson+power+pole+45a&qid=1619699157&sr=8-4 .......and these 75A ones would work between the bank of batteries and the trolling motor: www.amazon.com/Unassembled-Anderson-Powerpole-Complete-Connectors/dp/B07GHQZBBV/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=anderson+power+pole+75&qid=1619699245&sr=8-2

@@bama3dr608 thanks ! How about the circuit breaker? What was it snd where to get them?

@@bama3dr608 thanks! Those special ‘tips’ do the 75 a and 45 a come with the correct tips ? If not which one to get? Thanks so much for sharing!

@@jackiebabol Yes, they come with the plastic housings and the metal connectors (tips) shown in the pictures. You would crimp the metal connectors onto the end of the wires and then they push into the plastic housings and they will click into place.

I wanted to, but there were just too many people. It'll be a lot easier to see and avoid the tree branches once all the leaves pop out too........will have to make a trip out there right at sunrise sometime in the next couple weeks.

Thanks man! I don't know about that, but I'm always striving to get better.

Thank you!

It was the built in flight stabilizer. Not sure if I had a faulty unit or what. I’ve since taken it out and just plugged the servos directly into the receiver.

Thanks! Yes, people have put larger trolling motors and even some small gasoline outboards on these. If you go with larger than the 55lb thrust trolling motor we're using you'll have to beef up the motor mount somehow though. If you search around UA-cam there are several videos showing how people have modified the stock Intex motor mount to make it work with stronger motors. Just for reference, the 55lb thrust trolling motor pushes our boat with all four of us in it at about 3.2 mph at full throttle, so it will depend on how strong the current is. No matter how large of a trolling motor you go with, the most you'll be able to get out of a trolling motor would be about 4 - 5 mph because they're just not designed to go any faster (low pitch propellers). If you want to go faster than that you'll have to go with a small gasoline outboard motor.

@@bama3dr608 thanks for reply no I dt want speed just able to handle the currents so we can at least get about someone mentioned a 40lb thrust would do but im thinking more of 55lb thrust just to be certain did you have to modify ur mount with a 55lb or was it ok? Cheers.

@@davidmullaney8844 I got some 1/2” conduit to replace the stock mount arms, so they’ll extend through the oar holes, just haven’t put them on yet. I would say 46lb thrust is probably as big as you could go with the stock mount un modified . With the stock mount and the 55lb thrust we have once you go above about 3/4 throttle the motor starts trying to tuck under the back of the boat. Since your going to be fighting currents I think you’re right, you’ll want to go ahead with at least 55lb thrust and just plan to modify the stock intex mount.
