I also want to thank Florida Spook for turning me on to Intermatic Home Systems, for remote controlling the prop. It works awesome, if any of you are looking for remote controlling your props. 6 channel remote with outdoor rated modules that fire very fast. I would have to say real time responses. I purchased mine from Amazon.com Remote and modules.

Default Here are just a few more pictures of the build

Here are just a few more pictures of the build. I attached the prop to the lid using a custom made flat bar of steel, I welded a threaded rod nut used for extending threaded rod and then a clevis and I bolts with a plastic bushing purchased at Ace hardware, so that the prop would stay straight and pivot when the lid opened instead of staying the same position of the lid when it opened.
