    Contra-rotating drives

    Im curious to see what people's thought are on this working on an R/C application, if it could ever be done (if it hasnt already been done). I've been researching this as a solution to a triple motor powered large mono..

    How large is the mono? Counter rotate the outside two and not a clue about the center one, either way I would assume. This thing will sound great and good luck on the build. Keep us posted!

      You will need a wide hull with a shallow dead rise (v). Also submerged drives will be almost necessary. As she keels over to turn a surface drive will be pulled out of the water. This would be a grate semi scale project that will look great and perform "ok". For all out speed stick to a convention FE setup for a mono.
