stinger strut angles

[kookie_guy]

So with the warm weather slowly coming back, I'm getting back to building my BJ dual. I am using sv stinger struts. Now, the stock mount bracket has a slight angle to it. So here are the options.....

1) Run with the stingers pointing slightly out
2) Run with the stingers pointing slightly in
3) Machine the brackets flat, and point them straight

Which is the best option? And why? Does the angle contribute to stability at all?

my apologies, yes I mean a blackjack. Yes it's 26". lol, I thought it was pretty common knowledge on here that BJ stands for blackjack. Maybe I should have put BJ26. Anyhoo, straight it is. Will machine em up at work tomorrow.

Next question....rudder position with relation to props.

1) rudder in same position as props
2) rudder in front of props
3) rudder behind props

If you're not documenting a build with pics as it progresses, it doesn't belong in the BUILD section. Thanks
