Title: nqd high wind stability
Post by: agemax on September 17, 2011, 10:53:51 am

i was wondering if replacing the fin on the rear of my high wind with a car type spoiler will help the stability in corners and straight line speed?
anyone tried this mod?

The hull is not a bad design but does need better motor, running gear (Struder / outdrive ) and radio to turn it
into a decent boat.  They are tough too, I saw one it Wales being run by a young man that hit every boat, wall, bank
and shoreline in the vicinity and it still cam back for more!

And said young man won an award for being the best newcomer there... {-)
