Old New be
« on: May 26, 2013, 02:08:35 pm »
Hi All
 Gary’s my name I’m 53 retired and . .
 Well back in to model boats after some 30 odd years and found this site. . . 
 So for give all the usual dumb questions as I try to update my computer ( aka my Brain ) into the new terms of new stuff
 Any way I think I have the best of both worlds here in Leicester as I will soon be joining the King Lears club as it has both I.C and electric
 Well to start off with I have an MFA Spearfish running an 850 MFA Torpedo 12v 7ah video to come this afternoon as I'm off to test it
 and just about to start on a Scratch built Vosper Perkasa . . .only because I have a 44” x 12” Glass fibre hull from e-bay and to fit in it a brand new SC 40 Marine . .  droooool
 So first question is ( as no IC instruction manual ) what size Prop for this 40 (6.5cc) motor oh yea I have a 4BA shaft
 so what prop as well ( left or right handed Looking at the Back of boat blimey trying to think which way an I.C engine runs . .  errr Help)
  Regards Gary

Engine runs anti-clockwise.    Welcome to the site.  Care to post some pics of your boats ?
