Amazing collection! That’s my 43 MB and the event was held in the Southern California foothills.

Tub test went great. I got the motor control dialed in with the ability to pivot and hold position in a small space. Electronics box was bone dry so on to foam placement and ballasting. I plan to place the foam on the upper hull to keep things clean. She is currently a sinker but should be an easy job using a plastic tub in the garage.

Were the propellers useful?

They will be. Currently testing with the printed versions. I just had to see how efficient they were.
I need to sleeve the shafts since I have 1/8” in the design and the props are 3/32. Simple step down using brass.
