Well I've only had it in the water one time and I'm pretty sure I know what direction to go. I have a turn fin alignment problem because the least little bit of left correction it tries to roll over. And I'm pretty sure I need to adjust the strut and or move some weight forward because it's too nose high. But what are your thoughts on the rolling over problem?Comment

I had a similar issue with the original small turn fin...the slightest left rudder and she would spin out. When I replaced it with the UL-1 fin, the problem fixed itself by about 75%. Can you post some pics of the current fin alignment?Grand River Marine Modellers

I'm thinking I need to recurve the fin too, it might have a little too much curve in it and it's trying to hydrofoilComment

Hmmm...nothing seems odd...the amount of curvature seems similar to my UL-1 fin.Grand River Marine Modellers

You made a beautiful turn fin! I think I asked you once and forgive me for asking the second time, bottom of the blade is flat---would that cause lift? I know it isn't much.
When you said alignment, do you mean that because of the angle which is built-in on the back of the sponson that prevents the turn fin to mount parallel? I find it was impossible to bend the thick Kintec bracket. I attempted to bend the UL-1 bracket without success as well, ended up shimming the bracket. Still don't know if the problem is solved since I have not had the time to run her yet.
I made a fin w/o the curve for a BBY Zephyr Hydro and got rid of the left-right-left dance.Too many boats, not enough time...Comment

True your turn fin and drop your strut. That will help. Also limit the travel on the rudder with your radio. good luck!Comment
