    Aquacraft Rio wanting to roll over on it's back

    I just changed the electronics over in my rio from the stock stuff to a Tekin RS with a Novak 10.5 (wanted brushless, but didn't have the money to buy a new speedo/motor so i ripped it out of my T4 :) ), Y534 prop and a 20C, 2s Orion 3200 Lipo. Now when i get on the throttle it takes a few seconds for the boat to step up, then when it does it wants to roll to the right pretty bad. So bad in fact that it flipped over on it's back once and i had to go fishing for it I tried messing with the right and left trim tabs, and that seemed to work a little but i was pretty much guessing which way to bend them :) Any advise would be awesume!

      Try a smaller diameter prop. That ought to fix it. You would bend the right tab down a bit to correct rolling to the right.

          Alright, so it seems that the Y534 seems to be the prop to go with. Gave it a little bit of trim down on the right side and problem fixed. not real happy with the speed, but only running 2S lipo right now. Just ordered up a different speedo and motor that can handle 4S lipo, so i'm sure i'm creating a whole new set of problems with that :)
