[steve1a]

yes they do have one. emailed Steven at ose . for info on mounting a proboat outboard leg to f1 hornet. said to check forum. there is a you tube video on one but can,t see how it,s mounted. the outboard that comes on the hobbyking f1 hornet is junk.so i have heard . can,t get flex shaft for it, so went ahead and picked up a proboat out board leg. just trying to figure out how to mount it. has any one done this if so please let me no what you used to mount it.

This is how I did mine with the prather mount on the inside where the wood is that the mount screws to, you either need to put a thicker piece of wood or a couple layers of fiber glass and longer screws. I just put two more layers of fiber glass on mine and used nuts and bolts. The bottom two screws are a pain to get in, and you may have to re-drill a few holes to make the connection. Be sure to fill the holes where your stock motor screwed or it will leak. I've two of those motors one cable lasted about six good runs one cable is four or five years old. Just don't put an expensive prop on because when the cable breaks you lose it all. I hope this helps, if you need anything else please ask and run that stock motor till it breaks. Asyou will see you only need one steering rod.

Nice thankyou

[Beaux]

Hey buddy, how's the hornet coming?

[steve1a]

Hi haven,t had much time to work on it. with over time at work will be soon.,

[Beaux]

When you do get back on it, I found the servo mount to be weak. I glued all the way around the inside of the box where the flat piece attaches to the wall and glued a 1/4 inch piece along where the two front servo screws are, it helped a lot.
