MOTORIZED LEGO DRAGON

Yesterday we tested three different “flipper” drives in the Prototype Pedal Drive Canoe. The first one is a generic copy of the older Hobie design that is no longer under patent protection.

It feels draggy and is significantly slower than the other models we tested..Next up was the standard Hobie Mirage Drive with kick

Also, I framed a good portion of this with spruce which adds significant weight over my normal western red cedar so this canoe would normally be a bit lighter. . Length: 14’8”, wid

As far as the outrigger goes, it does make for a
