RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

Upon further review of River Rat's pictures, I have noticed another similarity with our set-ups. It looks like your prop is set pretty far back on the drive shaft. I had to set mine further back as...

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

Thank you River Rat!! Finally proof that I'm not going nuts. That is EXACTLY what happened with me and EXACTLY what my prop and rudder look like now. So now the big question is: Is it possible...

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27
