Hi,
With a bit of ingenuity the electric motor can be hooked up to
cables/springs/pulleys/bungee to rotate for directional steering and
180 rotation for maximum reverse.
With even more ingenuity, the electric motor can be stripped down to
basically the motor/prop attached to its 2' x 1.5" stainless steel
vertical shaft. All other components can be mounted inside the cabin.
