I am new and going through this and was wondering as far as setup boards go I know you can use a flat table but how does it work? do you set the boat flat on the table cause it will rest on the turn fin and front portion of the boat... I guess these are all newbie questions but I had to ask.

thanks

Rest the hydro in the corner so that the turn fin dangles to the side and the strut rests on the edge and the prop dangles away from the edge. This way your 2 sponsons and the bottom of the strut lay flat on the surface.

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party :) I just purchased a UL-1 about a month ago to run with my friend's UL-19. We have a nice big area to run in that is a bit rough...running the Grim Racer 40x57 prop I'm getting up to 46mph but at that speed the boat is bouncing around all over the place whereas the UL-19 is super smooth. The UL-19 doesn't really start to have problems until they drop a 6s battery in. What can I do to calm this boat down and make it competitive? From what I'm reading it sounds like an air dam is the way to go. I did try adding a canard to the front with a slight down angle...didn't help. Thanks!
