    Hey guys,
    I just got my John Oxley hull from the land of OZ and am making plans to build her in the next couple months as a transport for Big Gun. She is small, approximately 13" long by 2 3/4" wide. So, for you guys who have built really small, I will be asking some questions as I plan it out and build her.
    Here are a couple of pics of the 'JO' if you haven't seen her yet. http://www.flickr.com/photos/46896325@N07/
    One question that comes to mind first is; What would be a small motor to use? The smallest I have used is a 280 size and want something smaller and efficient. The interior will be cramped, but I am going to try and use 'micro' everything. (smiles)
    And any other suggestions or comments are welcome.
    thanks,
    Steve :D
