Title: Midwest Fantail II Launch.
Post by: Tony Bird on November 04, 2021, 04:18:51 am

Hi,

For many years a friend has had various steam related items and the hull of  Midwest Fantail II, over the last couple of weeks he has been visiting and I have been helping to assemble the parts into the hull.  Yesterday afternoon the new steam assembly was tried out for the first time.

The engine is a bit large for the hull and the propeller has four blades and if the engine's torque doesn't capsize it I suspect it will be quite quick.

Take care.

Tony.
