    Twin props. Inboard or outboard?

    Hi! Long time larker first time posting hear.

    Thinking about building a twin motor genesis or Zonda. I will build it with L and R hand props. Should they turn (top) inboard or outboard? and what are the differences in handling?

    Are there any advantages to one over the other when comparing the Zonda VS the Genesis? ( strength, durability, handling)

    I've had (2) 37" Fightercat's, both twin's. When rotating outward, she handles well in the corners or turns, still not full speed.
    When rotating inward's, top speed is achieved but you sacrifice the turn's. You really have to slow down, or have a large turn radius to go fast around a curve!

        Easy enough to swap a couple motor wires and switch shafts, try it both ways and see what you like!
        This is NOT a toy?!?
