RE: Seawind conversion
I had hoped to get one of the initial Seawinds for a conversion article but Hobbico wanted the first wave for glow-powered reviews. Hopefully, I'll get to start one next month.
Without knowing the size of the pod dimensions, it is difficult to make the best choice. My preference would be to use an outrunner like an AXI 5320 motor or Actro 40-4 or 40-5 depending upon prop clearance. A 3-blade prop is a definite possibility here.
