I don't know how else to get a Miss Geico 29 to stop porpoising. To be fair, the electronics are a bit over the top for the hull's abilities (Leo 4082 spinning an x447). The sponsons on this hull are so flat and even, I didn't bother with blueprinting. Still not sure it would have prevented this. I have the strut very low and at a negative angle, as well as the batteries as far forward as there is room on the battery trays. It's almost as if I the batteries need to be another few inches forward. But it will be a while before I figure it out. Tonight, a large oscillation overcame this hull and it decided to take flight. Thinking maybe some sealed, hollow tubes inserted into the front half of each sponson, then filling around them with epoxy/fiber-filler. Like pouring cement into the front half of the hull... That's probably ridiculous, but I'm a little disgruntled at the moment.
