That is a strange setup!  It looks to me like it runs in the open position being steered by the linkage on the left side as two seperate rudders that can be closed like a funnel that could provide some stopping power like a reverse thruster on a jet.  But what the h do I know! :scratch:

steamup:
The rudder is not finished yet which might be causing some problems trying to work it out.
The cups provide forward and reverse control, if the cups are part opened the boat will in theory stand still in the water.
The whole mechanism rotates for direction control. I still need to add the leaver which operates the scissor levers,which in turn open and close the cups.
Hope this helps
Mark

tom osselton:
Yes it does thanks.

steamup:
A short video to show how it will work once the cup lever is added.

tom osselton:
Thats what I thought thanks for the video
