    I have a Grimracer 42x55 2 blade in there now. I will see what that does first and go from there. I also have an Octura 445 2 blade that I think will be a good prop for this hull.

      I saw that, looked like something extra. I'm running a K&B leg w/leo 3650 mm 2930 kv haven't been able to open it yet.

        2930 KV is a lot of motor. That thing will haul ass!!! What are you running for an esc and battery?

            I should probably turn the voltage down, I don't think the esc will hold once i get it to where i can stand on longer. AS long as i stay with a 40 mm prop it does'n get even warm.

                a f1 hornet from hk, and i've got acouple generic chinese. I put a couple layers of resin on the bottom of the sponsons to sharpen up the edges, I guess blue printing it really helped in the turns.

                                Blandon, are you planning on painting or leaving the hull natural?
