Ok, moving on a bit Still waiting for my feigao motor from UH [&o] [:@] . . .
As there was a problem with hardware shipping from offshore electrics [] so I decided to make shaft & strut (adjustable), rudder & bracket, flex shaft I bought only coupler for flex shaft and ofcourse props.. Idea about rudder bracker came from this forum (I think) It is made from carbon tube as the sponsor toubes... rudder from rudder from corcuit board (can't remember the name of that plactic )
One thing worries me... I made no special bearings (bushings) for the shaft in strut.. it is only a copper tube and a shaft is a stainless steel.. what problems I could face?
thanx.
Keep the shaft well lubricated, or the two metals will wear eachother out very quick!

Just curious: why do you buy your stuff in the US, when the whole German market is much closer (and cheaper)?
