Hello all, I have just finished building a jig for my JAE12...and am now one step closer to starting my build!
I have most all of the parts on hand except the servos and epoxy and have read just about everything I have found on the JAE12. I do have a few questions...
1) I am using the Nova Rossi .12 with the Solinger mounts. Does anyone know what size bolts the motor to mount holes are tapped for? Also, what is a good source for stainless bolts of this size...and others for use in this hobby?
2) I have the remote needle that Glenn Quarrels sells, but have no idea how to hook it up.The end that goes to the motor is threaded, Is there another fitting that I need? (Pics?)
3) I am using the solid Z12 strut that Zippkits sells. Is there any need to adjust for positive or negative angles...I assume this can be achieved by shimming the strut at the transom?
4) Any other thought on props? The only props that I have seen suggested are a back-cut Octura 1440 and a V937/3. The Miss Vegas stub shaft is stepped to accept 1/8" props, Would the Grimracer 36x55 or Octura X435 work?
Thanks for any help or suggestions
