Status: offline 		Hey im new to airboating and was planning to make a 24"x13"x2.5"simple flat bottom i found in a magazine but it didnt say what the setup was.
Im going to use one of e-flites electric power series but am not sure which one would get me enough thrust for good performance(was thinking maybe the 25 one)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
