Guest Report post Posted June 14, 2020 First two work great. Throw water and PLOP, PLOP!!! Tried to make some blades but the plastic beads and cofffee stirrer tubes not frictionless enough and or my prop pitch is off😝. They turn but not freely enough. Not gonna finish them till tweek the props. Heavey May be better than buoyancy on the props. We interrupt this project to either cut the lawn or BALE it🥴 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
