    Counter-rotate. I have left and right turning props installed. 28mm 5 blade. I have since seen an image showing 6 blades....but...that's a rendering rather than reality...so....who knows if I'm right, or wrong again...(still?) LOL. There's been lots of changes I've had to make to get her...

    And, we have a test-float. She works! Needs some ballast adjustment, but I'm quite pleased with how she runs. Of note, the RC Controller lets me limit the speed automagically, and it's set to 35% of maximum. I bumped it up to 40% but the motors were warming up, so I went back to 35%. She...

    My lightweight superstructure has been given it's first sand and a layer of primer to see what still 'needs some love'. This is the 270 gram ASA Aero print.

    Replacing the Subs

    We had 1/3 scale full cut-away modules of the Victoria Class as a Full Length engineering display model. Not one museum in the country was interested in them.

    50 Cal and 20mm Spent Casings for Canes

    I'll suggest finding someone with a metal lathe that can spin out the basic shape for you from solid brass which can be hollowed out to fit onto your canes. Scrap military brass is required to be destroyed as a part of the sale contract - it must be mutilated or melted down, and while it gets...
