    Q's....Etti Carbon Sponsons

    I would like to see a trasom shot of these sponsons since everywhere else doesn't show it.

    How are they made? What is a turn fin mounting into?

    What is the distance between holes for booms? What do the booms mount into?

    How long is the bottom wetted surface?

    How much do they weigh?

    Would I be ok to make a tub a little longer so the OAL is approx. 27"?

    Lots of questions but, hey they aren't cheap and I'm taking a shot a bulding a spec rigger, UL-1 power or similar.

    If you can wait I'll take a shot... they are pretty sharp

    How are they made? What is a turn fin mounting into?

    Well made, not prefect but well made. Fin mount onto it's inner side.

    What is the distance between holes for booms? What do the booms mount into?

    about 7.75" and they need a aluminum sleeve to be attached to the boom and
    then the CF rod into it.


    How long is the bottom wetted surface?

    depends on the AOA you decide to use

    How much do they weigh?

    They are very light, I don't have a scale, but LIGHT

    Would I be ok to make a tub a little longer so the OAL is approx. 27"?

    Place the sponsons forward, don't make the tub longer if you don't have to.

    Lots of questions but, hey they aren't cheap and I'm taking a shot a bulding a spec rigger, UL-1 power or similar.
    Good luck.
