    hi, I wouldnt make the front sponson any bigger , have u tried moving the strut i think forward that should hold the nose down. ( try this 1st ) also try differnt heights of the strut . I was going to fit a CMB 101 in my cannard .would have been fun

    If you type in Tomahawk Canard Hydro,Going better,but lots more to come. You should be able to see it ok .

    Thanks for your good advice,i will try a different prop. Have you seen the other vid ,where it actually does submerge big time !. Going lots faster than last time,but also possibly needs larger front sponson area ,as a cmb 90 is quite a heavy engine . Possibly make it ride pad wider with greater area .I will post another vid soon ,so keep looking ,maybe within a week . I enjoy canards very much ,so different from the norm and the comments from onlookers make it worth while .

    hi I saw ur cannard and the bow seems to be out of the water a lot , mine use to go submerge sometime so I moved the motor back. maybe u need to use a prop to hold the nose down like the out riggers use? or move the motor forward a little.

    Too bad it got stolen !.If u type in tomahawk canard hydro ,you can see it racing around a small pond in little old england .Powered with a cmb 90 on only 25%nitro.There are to vids,happy searching.
