Still waiting on the prop size.

I was thinking you looked kinda' pi$$ed

Very sweet motor, Kiwi. I think the prop you are going to need is about a 3600x1125 inches. I'm not quite sure where you will find the landing gear for this one.

Garrett.

Let me know how you go hand flippin it please.

A video would be a real winner if you can get one. Any idea of prop size etc.

Will it hover.

Just kidding mate. They are big puppies when you get to that sort of size. With those guys you build the engine then build a boat around it. We do some work on the Turbos for these things. And yes they are big turbos.

Kiwi, just put some forks on it, a towell for a seat, and two tires, and Im sure you got a bike. Man, down south with some tape, and bailing wire, they could put that in anything. Ever hear of a Mexican Tire Iron? If your out in the desert and your tire comes off the bead, poor a cup of gas in your tire and throw a match. POP. Learned it on the beach down in El Gulfo.
