Depends...how do you plan on starting it? Most flywheels have a V groove that a belt engages in. You use an electric starter, like for airplanes, and hook it under the belt to start.

it has a pull start instaled into it.

Well, I guess you don't need a V groove.

Hey Matt,

Look at the first picture under the post (New .12 Crapshooter???)

and you will see a flywheel in front of the carb but you won't

see a pull start on that engine. That's just because I'm lazy and would

rather use an electric starter with a V- belt than pull on a cord.

"Great answere Propjocky" :

Good luck Matt, the pull start is a lot cheaper than an electric starter

and battery.

Thamks a lot guy's

What type of rudder are you useing?

Matt,

That's not really a Crapshooter. I just said that for a joke.

The actual rudder blade is a stainless steel from Hughey boats.

I machined the bracket that holds it from aluminum. The blade

itself is kinda heavy. I see that your building a Firefighter. Great

choice! I would use whatever he thinks is correct. Or you could

use Octura. I think a lot of guys do on thier 12s.

Hey you guys! I don't wanna sound like hardhead, but if you consolitated your threads, they would be alot easier to follow.

You don't need to make a new thread for every question are statement you have about 1 boat. I really want to read about it, but it is difficult to get the whole picture when I have to go from thread to thread to put the picture together.
