Downforce Generator (Spoiler) for RCLifeOn's RC Airboat by PropHangin

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

After having plenty of fun with RCLifeOn's Airboat, but struggling to get the nose up enough to get out of the water, I decided to make a downforce generator (Spoiler) to push the back end down more and raise the nose a little, obviously you will need to print two (one for either side) but just glue the bases on to the rear of the boat and the spoilers should slot in and out when needed. I used superglue and activator spay, it makes a very solid bond.
24/09/2018 - Finally got chance to test this out. I think it works really well at bringing the front end up out of the the water and adding a little stability. The video is on my YouTube channel here:https://youtu.be/MPdxkB_bUJI
28/08/2018 - Updated to V2 - I have made the lug at the bottom of the spoiler a little smaller as it required sanding to fit inside the base.
Here's his original Airboat design which is awesome:
