Hey Neal, take a picture of your prop and how you secure it. I need to see this for my own knowledge. Thank You Jul ▲

Thanks Bill. It was completely my fault, in the rush to get it on the water Iโd forgotten to sort the lock nut. Wonโt do that again.
Another school day! ▲

Neil.
Shame and I feel your pain. Been there done it got the medal and yes itโs so frustrating when we take so much care to get it right. I lost the entire shaft and prop on one boat when the engine coupling came loose.Just got the boat back on the other shaft as the water poured in thru the empty shaft. Regards Bill. ▲

The paint is Hempel Multicoat with about 15% thinners, the grey and black are semi-gloss so not too shiny.

I'm impressed by your birdcage antenna & your 2 Yagi-Uda's. My final career was Radio Inspector.

Hi flaxbybuck
It is surprisingly robust, Iโve managed to drop it 3 times and only had to do one repair! Just need to avoid the overhanging trees and bushes at my boat club lake. If it does go horribly wrong Iโll treat it as an opportunity for a Mk 2 version. ▲

I admire your attention to original detail. This must be the fiddliest part of the build, and of course the most vulnerable. Be careful when you take it to the water - you don't want to risk damaging that aerial display.๐
