Default RE: Anyone know what this is? Ice boat?

I wasnt sure what the right prop would be. I figured I would need more torque than speed so I started with the 11-4. I had to steal a high torque servo from one of planes for the back ski because its swings a lot of weight, so if the rudder works fine I wont have to buy another expensive servo to replace. I have a plan for some different skis I am going to start on tonight and if they dont work I might try to do something with the sled. I think the small lip on the skis I have tend to dig under the snow rather than lifting it up onto it.

The engine was a real pain. My tank might be mounted a little high so it was flooding on me. It was starting in reverse but if you feather the throttle back and forth alittle it usually starts running in the right direction. My arm is needing some rest. I am a stone mason so holding my trowel today made me miserable. I am getting my starter fixed!
