Om. yes, and the propshafts are much too steep as well.. I have a feeling the rudder was located there as the props were so far back. Would require sorting out, new shafts at the least, probably an extra rudder…..

So saying, it would probably work well enough, just not to best efficiency.

Hi William

I have had a quick eyeball of this model on Ebay and it looks a good model – price is a bit steep I think – but, everything is expensive these days.

To me the rudder has been 'flipped' round and that makes it look a bit close and in the wrong place and with regard to the prop shaft angles, they seem pretty close to the original on the real 'I am' boats. I think on the life sized ones I think they are around 13 degrees which look about right on this model.

The original boat also had 3 shafts and this one looks as though she is only twin, and I do think it wouldn't be too difficult if you wanted to add an extra shaft and reposition new rudders – 3 off. It does look a very well made model though.

Just my thoughts:

Aye
