Description
This build started with a random idea after getting a bunch of basswood for free from a family friend. I decided to build some kind of boat from it. I landed on a ww2 style landing craft airboat for its simplicity. Because I did not want to even try to build the normal airboat flaps for steering, I decided to move the entire motor with a pushrod steering system for thrust vectoring instead. All motor mount and steering components are custom designed and 3d printed.
