Default RE: Aquacraft Airboat likes to topple over

Thanks for your advise on the level of the engine. I believe you are referring to a prop low (meaning prop pointing down) instead of prop high situation. So what I did was I put in 2 washers underneath the front of the engine, elevating the prop up. Also, I changed to a 3 bladed 11X7 Master Airscrew prop. Tried running it yesterday at the pond and it was relatively ok, able to make a smaller turn without toppling, but the damn rain came too soon for anything to be done, and will have to wait until next week.

Just a question. If I really want to put in a bigger engine (60 size), is invert mounting it the only way to go?

Thanks
