No, you need revs, loads of revs. Sorry to say but a 4 stroke is more for a tugboat. In order to get any decent speed you need a huge prop, and teh propwalk in a rigger is already huge, let alone if you proip it up to accomodate 10k revs, rather than 18k.

I ran a 7016-3 receently: on the small side, but ran nice. I think 2814-3 chopper might work

Ultrasonic bath will clean it very well.

Di you look at CMB website directly? http://www.cmb-motori-italia.com/English%20Version%20-%20home.html

Congratulations Rich. I have been off forum for some time, but good to see you have a running boat now. And the damage of not cooling could have been much worse, so you have been lucky!

Post us some pictures of the set-up, eg where is the turnfin in relation to the sponson etc. I find it hard to believe a tapered rudder to be the origin of propwalking and spinning. I'm pretty sure it is a matter of set-up where the turnfin is in relation to the CG and how the sponson angles...

I DON"T KNOW BUT ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING: try not to hit capslock

Would just stick what you have no: if you really feel you need more cc than you can always upgrade, sometimes only a piston-cilinder, but complete new engine also an option.

Well it is easy to say it is too much, but I have instances where I had to. Better to lenghten or shorten the rods and ensure all linkage is square so throw each way is the same. For gas engine for example I deliberately have a 25-75 % throw 25 to shut down engine, 75 to throttle, but certainly...

2-4 clicks out of 10. The more you offset a horn to get the output straight the more bias you get if you apply any steering or throttle. Ideally should be 90 degrees on neutral.

Fema does: http://www.fema-modelltechnik.de/Neue_Dateien/Katalog_S3-14_eng.pdf MHZ Germany in th epast also sold these onboardstarters, but they have run out and don't intend to do a re production run. But you might always ask.

Not an answer to your question, but have you used already a good muffled 3 chamber pipe? These reduce noise considerable and might avoid you having to convert to electric. Be aware that a good FE set-up is quite noisy as well, not as noisy to an open pipe, or a pipe with an open muffler, but...

No the Slingshot Hendrik: The twin I have not checked yet, that I suspect is an airleak...

Mine was really off: 2.5 mm. No wonder the engine ran rough and stalled upon launch..

You will love it. When you master the software you can make color decals-stickers. Simplest to start with are of course the mono color decals-stockers. Important to find the right material to plot: should be very thin, but yet uv resistant and very sticky.
