    Default Anhedral on cat ride pads?

    I'm building up a TFL Mini Zonda and the ride pads have anhedral to them. It appears to be fairly even, and the boat still sits flat on a benchtop without rocking.

    My question is, should I leave it as is? I'd imagine handling would be negatively affected, but this was always going to be a straight line point and shoot type of boat.

    If you are talking negative dihedral, I don’t know how it would positively affect handling.
    If it were me, I would remove it and take them back to neutral.
    Could you post a pic to show how severe it is?

    My mini Zonda did 92mph on 4S. Other than scuffing the ride pad surfaces and making sure the trailing edges are sharp, I'd leave the bottom alone.

    The original Blackjack cat came that way. Handled terribly.

    It is a smaller version that is 690mm long. I figure it's too small for me. I have enough cats right now.

    Thanks for the replies. I'll get a photo when I'm back at home. I got my mini zonda from Aliexpress

    It's a 27" version of the larger Zonda.
