Second water test

It was cold wet and raining, but oh so much fun!
We just completed the second water Saturday. We used the sip-n-puff straw to control the vessel. It had full handeling. The remote stop worked, albeit at a shorter distance than expected. At this point that is not a big deal because we didn't do any of the optomization on the reciver antennae. It was just tossed inside the box.
The motor controler box temperature was read at about 10 degrees fahrenheit above ambiant. This was fine, under the cool / cold day of our test. We have to read a lot of datasheets to find the most heat senitive component in our box. That should define our upper operational range.
