My thought here is that on a dual rudder setup it should be much more stable in the turns and should not need the turn fins. Im betting drag will be not much of an issue and weight should about cancel out the turn fins........thoughts?an RC rock crawler lost in a sea of boat parts.........Comment

been quiet for a while, been busy. But here is the concept for the dual rudder system. Simulates VERY nice in solidworks.

thanks guys. ya it shouldn't be a problem. I already had to put some offset spacers under it to make clearance for the servo horn. If need be, the spacers can be a bit taller. All will be proven out before anything gets made. That's the beauty of solid works. hehe.Comment

it looks like if it where to have a prop when it turned it looks like it would hit the ruddersnort pixi sticks=symptoms-:Comment

quick question. I'm about to start drawing up the strut now. I have no idea as far as what the drive cable looks like.
It's basically a .150d cable, with a 3/16" shaft welded to the end of it? That would mean the bushing inside diameter on the strut would have to be 3/16" correct?Comment

ok, here's what we got....
here are a few angles...the strut bracket stick up at the top because it will be slotted for adjustment, which will make this fully adjustable to anything you have. Right now it's inline with the stock stuffing tube.
rear view with and without transom...

got some more drawn up. here you can see I added a feature to the strut which will allow for a water pickup. I've also drawn in a makeshift octura x642 prop. I've actually oversized it quite a bit on the drawing to see clearances, and as you can see, there is plenty of room on both ends of rudder travel.
