Come on guys give the Scotsman a hand here. I gave him a good starting point to a fun boat but obviously what I think is fun is not the Scotsman's cup of tea. Andy, ozzie, Simon or any of you guys from South of the equator should be able to give Douggie some good ideas.
I know Andy is busy building a gas hydro at the moment and ozzie put wheels on his thrill in life. I guess Simon is busy watering his Balsa plantation but guys the Scotsman needs some ideas here or he could end up listening to those guys in California (PC and Ub). There would be videos of him at that lake they call Legg if that happened. I had hoped for video of him at Broke Back Pond.

Guys have you heard the rumor going around the ponds that PC signed Douggie to do a video entitled "How to kick start a Huffy"

Talking of fast tug boats Chuck, your gift and the batteries arrived safely. That beautiful prop has not been tested yet but I will soon do that on my days off. Pictures of the prop for all to see will follow as soon as I get time.
Thanks very much my friend.

Glad to hear that everything got there ok Paddy.

Well I think a 1515 1y with the right prop would see mid 60 no problems, it depends on how large and aggressive prop this thing can handle

The Huffy lad is here and Andy, Paddy, Ozzie, Chuck plus others you can all piss off...Woops that was supposed to be .

Chuck, what prop suggestions with proposed and suggested power???

I love it a bit of contrevesy, as I a Scottish/cheap/moron/idiot, what now brown cow? and I am useless at modifying props

Yep well sort of, more of following the tip cup down the leading edge, if you cross section it it would look similar to spoon shape at the edge, takes nearly all the lift out and a progressive pitch to the edge. It does work ask Paddy. I will tell you NO more it's all in HOW you shape it the rest is asecret

Ask Paddy?????

Am I to be the meat in a prop builders sandwich???
Am I to be torn between blood (Andy), and a football mate (Chuck), in a prop builders war???
A little tip here is that I am corruptible. Grease my pals with silver guys. My PayPal is iamto@hotmail.com

Gotcha

Just in case anyone is really interested, the props that Andy works are real rippers, Scott (ozzie-crawl) can cut a fine water spitter too.
I have used a near stock 640 against one from each of these two and the difference did not need a gps to see. Thank fark for that as my last gps is blowing bubble at the bottom of the pond.

I know a lot about good props, I know that I need to get them from a person way more clever than me.

I ran a stock 637 this morning and then ran a cut down 640 to 637 that had been "worked" I do not really now all the tech bits but the tips were tapered and bent down a bit, cupped I think is the term.
Well this just about cost me a set of skiddies and it also cost me a esc.
It was a lot quicker than a stocker and obviously drew more power as the esc went on a permanent holiday. No catastrophic loss there.

Now back a page or two someone mentioned my Balsa plantaion.
I will have it on record that I have no such thing here.
In my garden I only have things that I can eat or smoke, in fact there are some plants that you deffo can eat or smoke, all depends on your baking skills.

OK, this prop artistry is way beyond my skills, for a moron what prop with a Neu 2200kv motor on 4S, I was going to start with an X640? I do have a cupped X442 from the hands of the designer of the UL-1.
Andy, I do love and respect you....you heathen.
