First of all, this forum has helped me a lot, as this is my first FE boat. So thanks to all for sharing your knowledge.
I put together a R2 Hobbies godspeed cat, with a seaking 180 ESC & a Tacon (same as leopard 4074) - 2150 KV motor. It is powerd by 2 7.4 v batteries in series (Turnigy 5000s 45-90 Cs)
Before I go out I was curious as to what a good starting point for the timing would be. I'm starting out with the Graupner 42 dia x 59 pitch (similar to the X442) and I have a 45 x 63P (similar to the M445).
I put a lot of work into stuffing all of this in the hull & I do not want it to go poof as soon as I pull the trigger:Praying:
Which prop would be the bests to start with & what timing should I start at (I read a lot & think maybe 15 is a bit much ?)
Thanks,
Mike
