How #H1Unlimited hydroplane drivers fly their boats! #shorts

J. Michael Kelly works the pedals of his U-9 Lynx Heathcare #H1Unlimited hydroplane!

The left and middle pedals control the front canard wing that you see on the upper half of the screen and the far right pedal is the throttle pedal.

imagine an Indy car doing 200+ and barely touching the track. Nobody in their right mind would do it. These boat racers are fearless.

Well!, after watching this totally amazing video of how to fly an H1, pretty sure I'm ready to go!
Just gotta find a million!
Thank you for showing me the job the driver does!

Nice video. Good job on the Hydro races. Awesome coverage.

Much respect for these guys. I've never been scared going fast but I've never gone that fast. I did 170 around the Datona Int. Raceway and loved it but understand its not apples to apples.

Very Interesting & Impressive Video ❤ !

[hbgriss]

90% of the boat is holding the drivers balls 🤘🏼

I asked this question at the Madison race last weekend, HOW do they control the Canard?? Glad you cleared that up for me

[domairracing]

As a pilot I’m fascinated by the footwork.

[flywayne]

How much do the vortex generators do for you ? First time I have seen those

[jerrycoggin]

Up pedal and a down pedal. Pretty cool.

[jamesford]

That is why hydroplane has plane in the name.

[kevindouglas]

I would love to see a big fish trying to keep up from a drone footage lol

[khyr]

Chaparral Race Cars. First footpedal DRS, in the 60's

[muchlisscaff]

what was done to his left leg and what was it used for?

[ElectraRoadKing]

So do they pack more air under the boat during the turns or is it packing more air down the straights?

[tracypippenger]

Vortex generators slick idea faster airflo probably more sensitive

[wesdailey]

That's why they call it a 3 point hydro, prop and maybe 2 small areas on the back of each sponson literally flying

[andyll]

So this is why Runey gets smoked lol. Humping that canard down lol
