New brass prop


Boat propellers

In the quest to get the Huntsman moving on the water I've replaced the undersized 2 blade plastic propeller with an 80mm diameter 4 blade brass number. The low reving motor isn't suitable for a 2 blade prop IMHO. Anyway, it looked stupid - the brass one appears a whole lot better and looks like it belongs to the boat.

On our garden pool the model certainly moves faster. I don't think we are on the plane but in a 15ft pool you can't tell. A trip to the lake later this week will give me a better idea.
