hi guys, its great to see the progress of the hydrofoil, its brilliant,
i started off planing to build a jet surf board, but the foil option seems way cooler, to fly on the surface, sounds so nice,...soon hopefully,
anyway i've been over heating my brain for a few months now, and its really helped seeing everyone thinking in a similar line,
I starting to source parts now. For the oval keel i was looking for oval extruded alloy, even from a heavy duty car roof rack or sometimes you see oval venetian blinds on the outside of modern buildings, if I find a supplier ill put up a link,
anyway, has anyone had any results trying one of these prop assemblies, there is a few pitch options and diameters available

also I found a 400 Kv motor that looks interesting (400kv x 38v=15200/5 =3040 rpm) here:

for the planetary gearbox either a parker 5 to 1 or neugart ple 5 to 1
Im just trying to work out which of the propeller options is the one to go for, and as i have not ordered the motor yet do they rotate clock wise, hope you guys can help, as my brain over heats easily, hello from Ireland, Keith 8)
