Thank you for the replies. I need only 2 channels, one for the steering and one for the motor. I'll look into things from that end. My design hinges around integrating the prop shaft into the rear foil, so i was trying to nail down which prop shaft to use. I would like to use a flex shaft so i can drop it out the middle of the hull and support the bushing with the rear foil assembly. Is there a standard size shaft that works with a range of economical water cooled motors?
I'm planning that the boat is about 24" long, but I don't have a good idea on weight. The design will be mostly plastic with some metal hardware. I don't need a really long run time, so a huge battery isn't necessary.
Thanks!
