one of those rods needs to be fixed solidly to the centre otherwise the wheel will turn around it until the paddles all face outwards....

hello,
 there is one of beam which is not mobile, now he is brasé.
Hinged wheels are very similar even though they are made of different materials
I looked a lot at your wheels when I built mine, it helped a lot me.
I made attempts in the water and it works very well, soon the continuation .
cordially .

you are just about finished with your model so this probably will not be useful and may be an earlier paddler but I thought I would add it just in case.

Hi chewbacca
By watching this, she looks very slim. A beautiful ship, seems to go fast on the lake! Does she have solid wheels or excentered shovels?
Greetings
