finally some progress

except for tyler distracting me for about an hour, i was kinda sorta productive today. got the rudder prepped and drilled the holes so that its ready for final installation when the time comes. the motor plans aren't very good at all and so i've been terrified of going forward on my own about that. today however i pushed on. drilled out the first shaft hole and it actually worked. its going to be functional! no installation of the stuff yet but still exciting that i took the first step out into the abyss and managed to find a patch of land.
