I think I might have somthing?? The test I'd olny did three shore laps runs. Seams to handle better and faster with that turn fin and plus I'm running the X437/3 prop. I'm going to do some longer runs and see if this adjustment are it? and get videos of it running too? Ok need some advices there?? I remember If some one told me to make that proboat hull to more scale like.I dont know if was Dan, F16, chief or HJ who'd said that. Said the extend it 2" longer beginning of the tail fin and the end of the cowl is short there. Maybe thats why they have a handeling proublems? This will be done on my Oberto2 hull that I'm working on now.

Things are getting a little touchy on here for me , I have had 2 of my topics removed for bashing either members or manufacturers, I think I will bow out for now as I never intended any harm to anyone , good luck with your cool new project it looks great.

Ok I'm working on my sponsons and ride pads mods.. made the ride pads on the front sponsons removable..Made them like the ones at are on the Oberto. just fliped them fron left to wright since that boat goes counter clockwise and owers goes clockwise..Now I got to prime and sand two more times and this Oberto2 hull is ready to paint. Even done the centerV and rear ride pads..the ride pads arent on it yet.. I'll post pics tomarrow.. They will be screwed and silicon on.[8D]
