Current Situation in Middle Tennessee!

Motor shaft fairing project kicked off today. Trial run of the 3D printed 0025 NACA foil is in the works!

Your pic did not come through so I don't know what you are looking at. Interested to know though.

I was going to build my own brushless motor. But I have searched the interwebs for more hours than I will admit to. None of the marine motors or props or combinations thereof, have any thrust data. I don't get it. Those things get pricey quick. So I am not inclined to spend a bunch of money for something that doesn't work. But if you find something that works, post it.

Well, I ran across these Haswing brushless motors that are affordable and good quality(hopefully). I ordered the 12v "Protruar 1.0" model. Haven't tested it out yet, but it'll hopefully be a pretty good upgrade in speed and efficiency. Also, I scored some new carbon fiber props. Super thin and lightweight. Come on summertime!

The Haswing and Protruar have the ESC potted into the the foot with the motor. Not a build that I am interested in. I like my kayak remote control set up. You can't do that if you can't replace the ESC.

But (I will assume) those companies put a lot of R&D into prop testing. Hitting the jack pot with a handful of aftermarket props is.... slim to none :unsure: :oops:
