Need help with ducted fan/turbine for build project
Ok here is the problem I don’t no anything about this stuff and need some info/help
I’m planning on putting a ducted fan/turbine (don’t know witch it is) on a air boat and thought you will no more about this stuff. I need help with the duct fan part not the boat.
The plan:
Duel prop on shafts with belts like the 4x4 cars (no trany) to a .12 nitro buggy motor yes I no its small but its what I have. I want to duct the props and tune them but don’t no what props I need or how the ducting math works sorry I no these are big questions but if you point me in the rite direction I would riley appreciate it. Maybe some sites or other posts with info would be good to

Why dual props??? Seems like a lot of complexity.
Your .12 motor should fit in a Kress Jets RK709 DF unit.

Probably alot of trial and error with that setup. Dual props and shafts. Probably would be small props. There are some nice EDF setups that may work well.
