    Default Hydro Turn Fin

    How should my turn fin be set up on my 1/12th scale hydro. Everything i read says that it needs to be straight up and down. Mine is bent at an angle leaning i following the angle of the sponson.

    You must not have read everything. some hydros like it angled - it acts to hold the sponson down better in the turn. its a balance, though and different hulls will like different angles. try it as is and if it turns poorly, mess with the angle.

    it isnt slotted to make adjustments, maybe get a grim fin so you can tweak it if it isnt holding right .
