Keil Kraft Eezebilt Mermaid (x2 Scale)

Hi, First boat build from scratch, using plans from a keil kraft Mermaid kit and scaling up X2 to 28 Inch's. Once complete the boat will be passed on to a nephew to make room for another one.

Questions, what electric motor will I need? looking through the power setups section a brushed 600 motor and 30mm 3 blade prop seem a popular choice. What Is the Brushless equivalent to a Graupner 600?

    I'd love to see some build-log pictures for the EeZeBilt site - we don't have much on the Mermaid, and it's probably the prettiest of all the range...

    One point to make is that all the EeZeBilt boats either have a flat chine or a slight rise towards the bow - if you are doubling up the size it is a good idea to increase this rise, since it will Improve the handling a lot. Especially if you want it to go at speed...

    I shall try and put some build details together probably in another thread (I don't want to hijack Toylanders Blog)
