West Systems epoxy at this climate seems to do well under 80 deg. any higher and it gets bubbles like Don mentioned. It seems to be worse in the cold weather. If I keep the resin, hardner and project warm it helps alot.

Following Tom's picture, It looks like I might be able to mount the motor where he indicated.

That would make this end the prop goes on.

It appears to carbon fiber powered (or assisted)which should be better than rubber band....I think.

I needed a part like this and was going to use 1/8" piano wire. Decided to see if I could mold my own using large fuel tubing, it had about an 1/8" ID. It turned out to be 3 grams, piano wire would of been 15 grams. The diameter varies from .122 to .126

"WOW" I know what that is. It's a drive shaft! Instead of an "S" bend he's going to use a "U" bend. :blink:

 

[wswatzell]

My guess on the "U: bend is the sponson boom. Just a guess, but you are going to laminate it to the hull to keep it from turning, & then make AOA adjustments on the sponson itself. Am I close?

I'm still lost. :unsure:

Wow, pulling some CF tow through some fuel tubing to make a curved rod, now that's some "thinking outside the box" :blink:
