RC waterjet 36 mm prop with steering nozzle and reverse flap

thingiverse

Waterjet for RC Please be aware that this waterjet is two designs I have downloaded here on Thingiverse and later modified for my needs. I'm yet (24-Jan-2023) to finalize the ship in which I will be using four of these waterjets with 3 bladed 36 mm racing props. The props are mounted in 8 mm stern tubes. I plan to install a bicycle brake cable for controlling the reversing flap, fixed with the "Block for reversing" on top of the "steering nozzle". The "block for reversing" should be glued with appropriate glue to the "steering nozzle". Please make sure the holes in the "steering nozzle" where the reversing flap has been enlarged a bit with a drill or small fine file. So far I have broken two "steering nozzles" attempting to press the "reversing flap" into place. You will need some 3x35 mm machine screws (and tap the holes with 3 mm thread) or alternatively use self-cutting/self-tapping screws to screw together the "nozzle", the "prop space" and the "water intake". For some reason, there is no preview of the "water intake", but it is included in the files. ENJOY! This waterjet is a compilation and modification of two designs found here on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3112554 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3697644).
