    Unstable on slightly choppy water...

    I'm trying to dial in my UL1, on slightly choppy water, it rocks back and forth enough that I think it's going to flip...

    Also, I've seen videos of these things turning on a DIME... maybe a penny... Mine WILL flip if I try that. What's the secret?

      When you say it will flip,,,are you turning left??? If so, don't..Right hand turns only with hydros.

          could have too much travel on the rudder also check your CG and also the strut depth. Lost of info on set up of these just need to search

              I haven't checked the CG, but I'm running a stock setup with 2 5kmah batteries. I've saw a sticky regarding the batteries helping to keep the nose down... I went with them for that reason, and to eek out a little more run time.

              Will the air dam help? I think I set my strut depth to a little more than 1inch.

              What does the teflon insert do for the drive shaft?
