RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

Pete,

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

PeeJay - I am running two 60mm Korts on nmy original Francis Smith plan and agree that this is probably the largest that will fit even as a single.

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

This is going to get really interesting when you connect two of those beasts into that underdrive box and then into a five inch pitch prop. We should start a forum pool estimating the amount of...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

While on the subject of Pittman 3700's, I run mine through a pair of FR30HX Microprocessor Speed Controllers and run them about half speed. This allows me to use a pair of 12 Volt - 7 amp alarm...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

Your choice of scale offers a serious opportunity to detail the build and has me thinking this might be my next project. I’m not thinking quite as big as yours but possibly something around 60”....

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

I used a product call 3M Scotch restickable glue stick available at Staples or any office supply. It works well in that it stays on when running the wood through a saw but comes off easily when you...
