thats is a very good view of whats going on.
mesmerising too.
shows just how high the props are running, great video.
yes it is a bit weird.
you would think that they need twice the rpm once they get half out the water, very strange how they work.
One can imagine how over-propped that rig must be at plane off if the rpm is correct at high speed with so little prop in the water.
That's supposed to be the knock on Arneson drives, though the Germans (who else?) came up with an adjustable pitch prop arrangement to overcome that deficiency.
