H&M no step 3. What setup?

[Xzessperated]

Guys I am waiting on an H&M no step 3 that I purchased to arrive. I am just wondering if anyone has one and what setup they are running. I would like to see at least 50mph. I have read some other threads and many people complain they are not easy to setup. The main complaint seems to be that they blow over easily. Any suggestions?

Here is a link with a picture of the boat I purchased. It will let you see the hardware that comes with the boat. Fell free to suggest any changes I might make to make a better boat of it (yeah I know, take the Aussie flag of it and put the Stars and Stripes on would make it go faster).

I has a no step 1. got it up there about 43mph, in N2 setup it was a blast but at that speed it was unstable.

your boat would use a 1521 1.5D to get you up near 50. get some big tabs and a good speed master strut and it should do the job
CogG on my boat was 22% from the transom.

The setup looks ok to me.

I would probably go with a 1515 1Y and a hydra 240 on 4s2p.
You could go with the D wind Taylor mentioned but I don't like to put big wheels on small monos.

22% CG??

might have been incorrect. but the Ns1 was 23 inches and my CG was 5inches from the stern. 23X.22=5.06

Thanks for your help guys. This will be my fun boat but I would still like it to handle and be fast. I am sure you have both saved me quite a lot of testing time and money by getting it in the ball park first time.
