I contacted H+M for some help I even supplied a Jpeg picture with lines on just asking for the offset and ruddr position and distance to centre of prop from bottom of hull and got a we cannot help you off them so I will boycot this company in future as they dont want to deal with english speaking modelers, I will also NEVER deal with the UK supplier as he was even less help

Mr H - I cannot remember you asking for help. I have certainly not been asked for any prop offset etc. and I could not provide exact advice for this hull as I have never built one. These are supplied as hull only for expert build but it sounds as if you are a complete beginner - in which case you should have asked advice before buying the hull.

The only hardware set that I have that will fit is the HOR micro set [url]http://www.astecmodels.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=950

These boats are so small that central is good enough. The rudder just needs to clear the prop - If you can get it on the RHS then great. I also do a more scaleish rudder here

You could also use a combination of the Etti wire drive and the above rudder. You will need a 1.2mm coupler for that. http://www.astecmodels.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=950 http://www.astecmodels.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_90&products_id=564

We can also supply a build service.............

Which of the above you choose depends on what you want to achieve from the boat, the HOR is more easily adjusted.
