I went back to the drawing board (no pun intended) and completely re designed my original sketch of the micro rigger I am planning to make.
I decided to start a new thread to discuss the design of this particular rigger, while I would like to keep the other thread open to discussions about hardware and power systems for economic micro sized riggers.
So here it is! (critique accepted) (Sorry for the poor lettering)
This tub design will hopefully provide additional lift due to it's undercambered airfoil shape, and the sponsons were lengthened to allow proper mounting to the tub without sacrificing component placement. The motor was moved to the front of the tub so that the driveshaft and sponson bottoms could have the same angle of attack without the sponson angle being too excessive. The triangle above the transom is a wedge of faom meant to support the mounting of the micro rudder OSE sells.
