Ill be looking forward to seeing some video of your riggers guys
,Bill if you need any setup tips have a look over on Jims boat dock theres lots of great info on there regarding riggers,believe me those things can be tricky to setup.Lots of things to adjust such as sponson angles as well as your usual strut adjustments etc,im sure you will get there in the end,out of interest what rigger prop are you using ?.
Rich no need for wings on most hydros,if you look at mine for instance the angle of the deck forward adds downforce to counter the lift created by the tunnell.They do look cool on the turbine style piccklefork hydros though.Heres a pic of one a friend of mine built from some Newton plans looks very nice .Im thinking of designing an F1 tunnel style boat to take a zenoah motor,ill build the plug from foam and balsa then mould off it and make a glass one,mine will maybe have an inboard motor to start but i might fab up an outboard setup similar to the one in the pics,just need to find someone who can weld allumnium for me.I like the simple design of this outboard setup,this guy has it on an aeromarine hull i believe.
