I just finished the FT Sea Otter build. This is my second build, my 1st was the FT Flyer. I used Hobby Lobby foam board instead of Adams and I used Minwax on it trying to be sure it was water resistant. It ended up quite tail heavy so I added some weight to the nose.
Now without the battery the total weight is 900 grams and I don't think the "b" size motor setup that I used is going to be adaquit. I tried it on grass and it barely budged. I'm too chicken to try to hand launch it or to launch it from water.
How much should I be worried about the weight of this Otter? Should I just use a bigger motor and prop?
