rudder setback

[Avanti]

is there any benefit to having the rudder set back this far?

I am working on a micro cat that is going to have way to much power and want to know if this extra long rudder set back would help control it

[ace028]

I would like to know as well.

Advanti, this thread toped it off for me to want to build a overpowered cat, you may have already seen it, but check it out.

I always thought an extended rudder would give more stability and leverage for turning.

need more turning power...................................Get a suitable servo.....
I use 645mg mostly

I meant the extended rudder should give more leverage to turn the hull, not make it easier for the servo to turn the rudder.
Like on a cat hull with counter rotating props that is hard to turn or a mono hull that needs more stability.
I guess it could also make it easier to raise or lower the bow by changing the rudder angle on an extended rudder.

A longer rudder would accomplish the same things.

my 2 cents worth.

I am not worried about turning I am looking for stability as I am putting two yes two 3550 kv outrunners in a 16" cat
