Status: offline 		Is it possible to have a prop at the bow of the sub facing forward? I am building a very basic rc 'surface' sub. The only non-standard feature is a prop at the front AND back of the sub. Is this possible/recommended with regards to: prop shaft thread, prop thread, prop design (shaft behind prop) etc?

Status: offline 		wait so a prop in front? dont really recommend it unless you have a really long nose that is well underwater because if it breaks the surface your just churning water and not really doing anything
