Default RE: My new Airboat, one question, should the sides be rounded ?

How aboudt the design of the Rudder ?

it seems like a box design give to much thrust at the buttom, and the boat tends to lean into the turn, this is good for handling, but if i want it to slide will it be better if i increas the sise at the top of the rudder to give more thrust higher up to kompensade for the boats will to turn in to the turn, and insted slide around ?

any one wanna comment ?
i have seen alot off you guys have teardrop shaped rudders.... ???

i am current ly working on an low profile Ultra light waight speed airboat, but i want it to slide like crazy
i am trying to learn from my eralyer models, and get some more indput..... so i get i right

.. i see a lot of pepol claming that thay have the speed record for RC Airboat, a lot of classes(for nitro)
what aboudt Electric, do thay fall under the Other class ?
