I ordered the turnfin for the whip20 a while ago. I talked to him yesterday on the phone. He is really backed up and trying his best to get caught back up.

He seems like a nice guy, it just sounds like he has no free time.

[britscoot]

Yeah,i haven't heard back from him yet.
How long have you been waiting for your fin?

I might have to go another route.

cheers

I contacted him by phone. He shipped fin without payment. Once I received fin I sent him payment. He's a good guy.

[britscoot]

Cool

how long did you have to wait?

[Jeepers]

well I have emailed, called, and sent pm's to him on international waters and never even had a reply its been a few months so I gave up trying...but a fellow boat racer (rc speed) gets hold of him easily!

I got a hold of him on the phone.
I have been waiting for my turn fin for about 4 weeks now. Luckily, I don't have a boat to put it on, yet, so I will just keep waiting.

Th VC fin is not the ultimate fin, but it works. Try making your own fin or use one from another boat.

Here's quick example:

I like the virginia fin because the mounting bracket has 4 bolts mounting it to the hull and not 2 like all the other mounting brackets that I have seen. The mounting brackets for the turn fins have always worked loose in the hydros that I have run. I am hoping that if I use 4 bolts to hold it, it will be more permanent.

Dick emailed me back,and said he was really backed up.
He gave me a store to contact that carry his sport 20 fins.
Just put an order in for it.....yay!
The store has 2 fins only and no brackets.I got the last bracket.
I've made brackets from speedmaster strut parts.easy
Here is the store email
