        strut closer to the sponsor is more stable catamaran

                  what bracket is that..did u just make it yourself??

                    Did you make a cutout to move the strut and rudder closer in?

                        hi, miss geico, mystic and black jack is 27 ", no 29" repeated mistake .

                        I have +45 mph stable, 4S, aq1800kv, aq 60a and M445

                        I do not understand this at 6S, the hull is not perfect, needs lots of work

                          65+mph Mystic on 2S.... Stock Strut location. Basic Sponson blueprinting.



                          Every one of my Miss Geicos (2), Mystics (3), and BJ29's (1) runs with little to no "Wa-Wa", and all of them corner like they are on rails. Nothing special done to them outside of the general blueprinting of the sponsons, and basic setup and prop-work.

                          The boat is NOT perfect, but it's not anywhere near as dismal as you make it sound sometimes in your posts.

                          Based on the props I see people using, most likely straight up with a basic balance and sharpen, however, I can see why some have issues...

                                I was there , I saw How Darin adjusted his settings during those few days, I was totally blown away by the man's knowledge and meticulous attitude towards this hobby.
                                Come on down next time and witness how these great racers work.
                                Oh, by the way, it is called a SAW event. I do believe it broke a record as well! Namba has all the records and I am sure they will be happy to supply to anybody who doubts this.
