I am building a fully custom 50" long and 4.5" beam Virginia class submarine.
when it comes to the drive shaft of the submarine i was originally going to use a 1/8 brass rod and brass bushings i bought from bob martin. i have been told to use a stainless steel shaft.
my Question is what size drive shaft should i use, are brass bushings ok to use, and how do i take the force from the propeller off of the motor?
any other insights into drive shafts would be great! thank you very much!
