Default RE: Canard style Airboat

Ok I have tweeked the sponsons. Lifted the rudder, the boat ran a lot better.
But I still have trouble turning. So I shaved the corners on the sponsons with a hand planner to try to stop the sponsons from digging in when turning. Well It worked and worked well. Now I can turn without the boat comming of the plane.
In the first part of the vid you can see the boat bogging down in the turns , the second part the boat stays on the plane.
