    Hi Ronald, I checked on the motor it is a standard 6v 385 or '400' motor, that is just right for the model.

    Hi Ronald, yes that is a 9 gram servo. See the description 9g that is the weight. It has a 1 pound torque at 1 cm (3/8ths inch).
    Quite enough to work the rudder and small enough to tuck away.

    Roy, it is a Promax Brushed 6v No. 341

    Not sure what a 9 gram servo looks like, but is it a Micro Servo like this?

    Hi, looking good. You only need a 9 gram servo for the rudder, that is what I have in mine. Which motor is that?

    You may recall I bought this ready built hull from an estate, it was intended to be a static model.

    Since purchasing it, a rudder has been made, installation of the rudder tube & a control arm secured.

    The stuffing box and grease tube installed, a motor mount and now the model is in the laundry tub. I am conducting a 15 min gentle walking pace run to determine if the motor will run hot using the 3 bladed brass prop?
