There are two parts, 26 & 27, 1/8 inch rods, which I can't find where they should be installed:

Hydro Junkie

They look like propeller shafts to me

Yes they're the prop shafts. As I am doing a RC conversion, I skipped that chapter, then I didn't remember what the hell they were.

Thanks

Well, not exactly Mr. Caswell. In fact I have already converted it to RC, homemade ballast system included. I'm working in the sail and some decks details. Of course even the first sea trials are pending.

The problem is, I have 25+MB of pictures but I'm working in the arcticle, as soon as I publish it I'll post the link here.
