Ultra micro Inexpensive riggers

[j.m.]

So I guess SS wheel spokes it is?

I'll look at them on the internet and check prices...

Okay, $15 for 50. I guess that's going to be the way to go...

drive shaft

For stuff this small, would just glueing the prop onto the solid shaft work? If using a standard shaft, the prop would be most of the cost. Just make up some spares and away you go?

I don't know if that would work for a prototype model, as I don't know if the prop is going to be the right size.

About the rigger design, do you guys think I should decrease the shaft angle a bit and bring the rear down some? It looks a little high right now, but the water line on the boat would be about .75" above the water surface when the boat is up on plane. Should be good for pool ripples though...

I think i'm going to drop the tub bottom a bit more, also, to allow the motor more room...
