    I understand that, thanks, but it no longer matters since I've decided to use an air prop. From what I've read here the surfacing props have 70% efficiency at best and the air props are a little better. Also the water prop will be subject to be more easily damaged and that is a fairly big negative point.

    Sometimes it functions in the end...............

    Not a typo, a misunderstanding. 'It's closer proximity' meant "when it gets closer" when it gets closer it creates more lift. So elemental and yet you correct me by agreeing with me :)

    But you ignored the important point about stability, which is what I was talking about (I said "this is for stability"), and that is the CP travel with proximity to the surface and the instability that causes. I'm sure you know all about that so we will drop it now.
