Hello everyone, Another relative newbi here. I've been a member of a couple of clubs in the past but although they say that they are friendly and welcome new comers, I've found they can be quite cliquey. I'm no wallflower, neither am I too forward and pushy so maybe it’s me. So I thought I would join your forum. The reason being like a lot of other modellers is that I need help and advise occasionally. I've always built and sailed RC yachts,but I would like to have a go at powered models. So When asked by my lovely wife what I would like for Christmas I said the 1/8th scale model Perkasa by Precedent. Sorry to be scouting all round the houses but feel the need to explain myself. I don’t want to screw up an expensive bit of gear by getting it wrong. So the question I would like to put to any of you fellow modeller’s is this. The model is 49” long, would it be wise to go for twin props. If twin props, would it be better to have them counter-rotate. . If so would a 50 amp controller be adequate for two 550 brushed motors that I was thinking of using? Or would a single prop be enough to put her up on the plane. Thank’s Dave

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
