    My Hydro just won't turn good

    I just can't get my hydro to turn good. I even tried 5 different fins with no luck. Any help would be great.
    Here is a pic of my current fin.

      im also new to the hydros, and when i put my turn fin on it made a world of diference, i have mine setup to turn right. i see that you have your rudder on the left and the turn fin on the left, does this make a difference??? just a suggestion i really dont know, i am too new

        Your turn fin is bent the wrong direction. It should be bent UNDER the boat, NOT out.

        Rudder on the left is fine. My little hydro has it on the left and the boat turns fine.

        But I have NEVER seen a fin angled or bent outwards.
        Don't get me started

                  Well its just been one of those weeks for me that I figured I would end it in a funny note. I have been so absent minded this week it isn't even funny. On Tuesday night I had my boat die in the middle of the pond just before dark. I didn't bring my blow up raft but I had my handy fishing pole setup with a tennis ball for retrieval. I ended up getting the boat 20 min later on the other side of the pond. It was dark by the time I got the boat and when I got home I realised that I left my fishing pole at the pond. Needless to say someone else owns it now. On Thursday night I was helping a guy at the pond try to figure out why his car wouldn't start and I left a good pair of pliers under his hood.....I hate losing tools more than anything. So tonight myself and a buddy were cutting some fins and shooting the breeze. We put the first fin on the brake and proceeded to bend it, it came out real nice but just like you see in the pic....its bass ackwards. We thought it would be hiliarious to throw a pic of it up on the forums and get a laugh or two. Well I hope next week is a better week for me

                  Mike, they are real.

                      Just glad you didnt hit anything, Loosing tools is quite frustrating. Not even the cost of new ones but well, you know. I have had a rough couple runs lately with hitting bouys and shores. Worse than loosing tools is hearing the hull smack something.

                        rough runs is nothing.
                        this past two weeks i have gone through 4 esc's
                        two really nice hackers and two semi nice castles.
                        as well as two servos and a hull.
                        but its all in the fun of going fast
