The following items are all parts that I used to create the prototype version of this model. Note that I've transparently listed the items with Amazon links that I actually purchased from Amazon. These links cost you zero to use, and they are the sole and teeny tiny revenue stream for this whole website. Please consider using them unless you have a local hobby shop. By all means, you should support the local hobby shop as sadly they are going away. The people that have the passion to run the local shops are a source of experience, and encouragement that simply cannot be overlooked.

9x4.5 wood (please) for electric: Verify with motor manufacturer's specifications. The correct prop is crucial for getting max efficiency and not over amping your equipment. Motor manufacturers often provide recommended sizes for their motors.
