Welcome to the forum John

Your English is better than my Greek so do not worry about it

The springer propeller should not be bigger than 38mm (40mm if no one measures it ok2), I do not think a 90mm prop would even fit under a standard springer. The rudder can only be a maximum of 100 square millimetres, I do not know what size Odin had fitted, but with a 90mm prop it will not be too small.

I do not know the comparison between motors but the biggest should be a 550, with a maximum voltage of 7.2volts. If you want to use the parts you have then you will need to scale up a standard springer and make a super springer.

Hope this helps

Brian

Hi,

The "Springer " is a fixed size / class boat at  18 x 8 inches or 460 x 200mm
www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/Common/Plans.doc (http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/Common/Plans.doc)

You can build a Springer any size you like but unless it the sizes above it's Springer shaped!

Isn't the Robbe 100 motor a huge thing? I think it the same motor used for starters for IC boats and aircraft.

(http://www.netshop.nl/shop/krikkem/contents/media/r4474.jpg)

This extremely high torque (65 Ncm), low rpm, low noise motor, is ideal for direct drives of large and heavy work ships with prop diameters of up to 100 mm.

I am guilty of building that one for John.
The plan was resized by 150% to give it 1.5 times normal size.
Here is a pic of my one the same size,it is powered by 2 700BB turbo motors (way to much power)
