How does this look? Anything else that requires drilling through the hull that I forgot?

I need to hold the hatch on. What is good. Is there anything that would mount flush and still hold well?

Just the old taper head screws and blind nuts. I think Keith Bradley Boats still sells a ‘hatch kit’ or forthat matter I think Travis(KFXguy) has the makings to put one together for you.reach out to him thru PM on this forum.

I would be looking at a longer stand off bracket rudder, that rudder will put the prop quite a bit behind the rudder with that stinger.

[Rumpelhardt]

Would a shorter stinger be better or the longer standoff rudder?

[martin]

I would go with a longer stand off rudder, That stinger length is about right.

[Rumpelhardt]

OK thanks a lot

[Rumpelhardt]

On my Blackjack 29 the rudder is about .5 inch behind the propeller is that about right?

[martin]

You can have the rudder opposite the prop or with the rudder past the prop, you don't really want the prop way past the rudder.

[Rumpelhardt]

thanks again. This is definitely going to be a learning experience for me. I haven't been this excited about an RC project in ages.

You may need a set of turn fins too. And maybe a set of trim tabs. I use them on my boats, but some people don't use them.
