Here's the Hydro-Foam model/Code made up from plans found on RC groups
The plans had a lot of inconsistencies so I did my best to make it right feell free to change it if you like.
This one is made up from all 6mm/1/4" foam. The original one I read is made up from 3mm. So this has been scaled up a bit.
If some one wants to tackle the 3mm one that would be great.
I have built this one once but not from this redesigned file. So let me know if it works for you.
Thanks Mark
Have fun with her.

Thanks Mark, I never have had/built a hydro. This is on my short list to build.

 

I would put It on a some kind of Stick Mount on top. I would Use a medium to high KV motor w/small prop.

Well on the 3d model the canopy is different than the actual canopy that gets cut out, and the one that gets cut out is a little more squared.
Your welcome to convert the other canopy as well and try them both out I just didn't have time.

E-T is right on the motor mount, or you could make a hole so that it sticks through the foam and under the main canopy top.

I had gotten this one from "RED" when it first came out. Fly's pretty good , I have a friend who built a 5 ft long version. Unreal!!! I'd like to see a mini one also for indoors...Thanks

 

blindflight,

Seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding this one, but it seems to have died down.
The plans were free so I thought I would give it a go.

A 5' version unreal! is right. A small kid could sit on there and drive it around the lake holding the transmitter
Got any links or videos to that one?
Thanks
Mark

p.s. AL sorry for the lack of a response Its been early nights with nyquil induced sleeps.
I will get with you soon
Mark

 

Your welcome, if you find any errors let me know and I will do what I can to fix them
Have fun
Mark
