    Hi, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a 1:144 USS Fletcher power plant. Two motors, speed controllers, and propellers. If anyone has made a Fletcher, or similar speed/size ship please leave the specs. Thanks!

    dude, go check out Vac-U-Boat. there are a ton of references to them in the forum, and the guys that prototyped the Vac-U-Fletchers and Gearings are on here.
    would you consider a Gearing? they get 1.5 units as opposed to the Fletcher's 1.0
    Phil Pace and the rest of the GA guys run a wolfpack of those speedy little things outside of Atlanta.

    Hey Julian. I wanted to know how you did on your destroyer project.
    Can we help you with specs or did you explore the Vac-u-boat resources?
