• Rudder: Solinger mini rudder - Don't have
• Strut: Undetermined
• Turn fin: Undetermined
• Servo: Futaba Mini S-3115 - Already Have
• ESC: Undetermined

She will be run on a 3S Lipo
In the meantime, Here's a few teaser pics.









** NOTE: nothing is mounted as yet. All parts displayed are merely set in place. Stuffing tube is just inserted, not fixed to the hull yet. **

I like to think of it more like "Snug"

you have to power that rig with AAA's?

[Diegoboy]

Na, my 3S fits perfectly in the nose. No fighting to get it in there either, believe it or not. It just slides right in.

Diego; Controller in the mail 1 hour ago, should be there sometime in August!!!!

This now gives me the right to harrass you as much as I want until a vid is posted !

[Diegoboy]

Many thanks to you Doby.

After much deliberation, I have decided to change my strut & rudder choices due to the 11/16" high transom she has.

• Rudder: Solinger mini rudder - Don't have
• Strut: Undetermined

Change:

• Rudder: Head of the river Mini series Rudder - Don't have
• Strut: RCMK HSX Strut - Don't have

Changes made to OP

Build dedication also added to the OP (original post)

I dedicate this build to my good Friend DIRTYSOUTH31 who has retired from the hobby.
I remember a time he used to love Riggers & Hydros
This Bud's for YOU Dirty!

[Meniscus]

Oh well, I'll keep my stuff then...unless you want to put it on something else!

I'm glad to see that you are dedicated this one to dirty. We all miss him!

I have thought about the rudder length, but I intend to mount it to the left instead, which brings up another good question. "rudder placement on a hydro"
also, that rudder mount is too high. my transom is only 11/16" high. How long is your hydro? What servo are you using in your hydro? maybe not enough torque @ speed

[Diegoboy]

Iony, I'm almost sure that your servo is simply too weak to overcome the forces your speed is applying on the rudder.
