I wonder if there is any interest in a much improved rubber band
powered paddle wheel design and boat?
The traditional 4 bladed prop that all small boys make has about
1/4" of rubber band to wind up on each side of the prop. The
improved version has 2 to 4" of rubber to wind up and drives the
boat for much longer times.
I have photos of the boat and the paddle wheel design for anyone who
may be interested.

Hi Ron,
Sandy put me onto this message. I'm looking to make a couple of
rubberband bath tub paddlers for two lively lads who are looking for
some thing to make. Could you email the design to me.
Dai Powell has already sent me a design which looks ideal but
your "new and improved" version.
Thanks
Regards
Leighton
