I'll be taking a few more photo's and a video today at the pond!

The motor shaft assembly all came as one set from amazon. It's a reseller from some china-site based on the quality. The motor connection is a simple and common U-joint. I hacked a hole into the foam and aligned how to glue the shaft in place based on how it sat attached the the motor so everything should be pretty close to correctly in relation to each other.

I do not like how excessively the prop shaft sticks out behind the board, but for the cost I originally paid for the assembly and to get it shipped quick, that was the length they had available. which is why I made it a 4 rudder system to try to compensate for the flat hull and low speeds it will need to be able to turn at.

We'll see later today how well it performs, I suspect it will be hilariously capable, but would be equally expecting it to perform terribly and need some adjustments as well. I already want to center the servo behind the motor, as the linkage assembly I currently setup for the motor restricts how far it can turn left. Test drive will let me know if the rudders are enough or if I need to adjust the size of them!
