    Default Blackjack 42 Tuning

    I recently purchased this blackjack 42? and Im trying to tune it in. I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of threads. Im running it on 8S with my batteries all the way forward. Had a x447 on it for this run. I also have 24 ounces of weight in the front. Ill include a picture of the rudder and outdrive position. Cavitation seemed to be minimal but the back end was wiggling from side to side at times like it wanted to get squirly. Any ideas what this could be from? I have a video but it was giving me an error code when I kept trying to post it. Thx for any suggestions

    Hey take a look at Ironclad rc on YouTube, he has a wealth of information on this boat.

    I had this issue with the wobble. It was like I was turning the steering very quickly from side to side a little. I fixed the problem by turning the gyro feature off, which was on by default.
    Instructions to do this are in the receiver manual.
