Those rudders look ready for the  'Lurssen effect'.

Hi the boat is 57"length.
The props are what I had available the centre prop is 36mm and is what I will use.
Boat will have power on centre shaft only I will be using a brushless motor outer shafts freewheeling.
I will trial boat with outer rudders set at angle indicated on photo.

Hi Jay yes it is.
This will be a slow build for various reasons.

Nice work on the boat Graham, I'm in Aus also and have thought of ordering from MTB hulls, just wondering how it went when you ordered your hull.

None too shabby! I think that you have built before... Very nice. Was the armoured conn part of the hull/kit, or aftermarket or did you build it from scratch? It appears to be one piece. Very nice detail.
I have always wondered about "free wheeling shafts. It seems that the only time the out wheels would be seen is when she is out of water, where as in water the drag created by them would be very detrimental. If they are just for scale appearance, seems like threading them on would save a lot of battery power and give you a faster, more responsive craft. No criticism intended.

Hi Craig I have purchased three hulls from Christian at MTB  hulls in the past with no problems.
Can I ask which hull you are keen on reason I ask is that with the S boat hull you need to add the chine rails along the side of the hull.

Hi Akira no offence taken the  Skullcap bridge is from Shapeways 3d printing.

Hi graham, I was lookingat his 1/72 reciprocating Bangor class, and maybe one other to make the postage as economic as possible,. Did your hull arrive in one piece?
