I have and old Dumas shovel nose hydro I Purchased years ago. My nine year old grandson asked me if we could build it and run it with radio control. In my day our little club had Miss Thriftway's,Slow Motion's, and Miss Bardhl's. All had .049 nitro engines. We ran them around a duck pond on a string. So far the project is going fine. So this is what I have done so far. I have a 2 chanel Traxxas radio with 2 servos. I have a marine K&B 6.5 cc Nitro engine. The prop is a two blade Octura X447 on a strait 3/16 shaft. The rudder is 4"x3/4" with water pick up. I've tryed to keep the center of gravity close to the boat center!!! With all the radio equipment and not up to date with these new developments I'm kind of in the dark. any of your comments would be appriciated. Old Guy
