Default RE: RC Surfer



YPC ... I fitted the origi kyosho bi-fin on my single fin kyosho last run for a test and the board bounced bad at speed but tended to be easier to handle on a wave espec at slower speeds.. bit like riding a motorbike with the back brake on a bit to help stabilize everything....

Anyway what are your thoughts regardeing the trim tabs on a bi-fin... was thinkin the angle would be speed related and without a hull to suit the downforce at any given speed maybe an adjustable downforce tab is more the go......

(bi-fins do make it way easy to get the prop shaft out for a re-grease without dismantling the rudder setup but hey...lol) 

BTW..... I have seen pics of bi-fins without tabs but was wondering if there was anyone out there in ******** land who has run a single fin board then tried an angled bi-fin without the trim tabs on the same board.... ?
