Your welcome,
We used Fullers on all the prototypes. As far as I know flyguy55 has built the first one with Solinger hardware.

I recived a PM on how the Solinger hardware set fits .
The push rod doesent line up between the servo and rudder horn with out a z bend .
The rudder horn sits on top of the rudder and is at least 1/4" too high and is too far left. Depending on what kind of push rod seal you use it takes a Z bend to line up. I also used a Heavy Duty EZ connector on the rudder connecton mounted below the horn .

It looks like it will be fine.
I mounted the bracket screws on the transom center line that offsets the strut 3/16th to the right. The strut is mounted on the left side of the bracket.

It looks in the pics that the strut is not at 90deg to the hull, or is it an illusion? What motor ,esc and cells?

[Flyguy55]

A square says its 90 deg. Its off set to the right to offset propwalk.
The other specs are lisited in post # 56 .

[andym]

A 6L should be interesting, what is the prop in the pics looks quite large for a 6L. I am glad the square says that strut is straight because it does not look like it in the pic!

[Flyguy55]

The prop is a new barstock 50mm 3 blade from Andy Brown , just for fun , Grin
An X438 is on it for tomorrows tests.

Can you post a vid? Would like to see how it goes on two cell compared to the 4s video I have seen. Cheers and good luck with it.

No Video cam , and my test pond is very small . I won't learn too much tomorrow.
