i did wonder about the shaft it is a little flimsy so thanks for confirming that and the prop, i a still pondering a motor as there seems so little room i looked at a out runner from a aircraft but maybe that would be too quick

my dream would be a model Riva , as i took my wife out on lake Garda in one on our 25th anniversary . a craft long admired but sadly the model is out of my range , so i thought i would try this , , but for me , a Riva would be a dream come true ,

i have bought a aeronaut classic kit to build over the winter , i have had to suspend other models (tugs) due to fumes and winter ventilation .
it will be my first wood kit build ,
i would like to fit a brush-less motor in the Classic but do not know which motor i could use to replace a speed 400,
can anyone recommend a brush-less motor for the classic
