    why not buying the twin rudders set?

    to be honest I don't know if twin rudders will add stability.......?

    Twin rudder sets on Ebay don' t have water inlet.
    The Speedmaster stinger is 115mm long with the DD and the propeller, this model should work
    If the rudder is to long I can cut it, water inlet is high, but I want to know if a symmetrical mount is possible

    I was looking around for twin rudders as well and now realized your point...........

    You were referring to the brackets arrangement, so it is possible.........isn't it? Are you going to use two servos or one servo and interconnect the rudders? how?

    Exactly, it is possible with those rudders from Promise Hobby they are symetric, only one servo with good linkage

    I will interconnect the rudders I' ll see how to when rudders will be at home. May be a U inverted part aluminium made fixed with up screws
