    Hi bud
    get a piece of paper or tracing paper works best you need to cut down so it folds over the canopy smooth or as smooth as poss mark a center line in the middle where the screen area is and use masking tape to hold it down,next you need a fat wax crayon and rub across the line gently not with the lines, do from your center line at the top of screen round to meet center line at bottom of screen,it will leave a outline to cut,before you cut fold at center line,now cut along the outline youve now got,when you open it up youll have a perfect screen,then transfer it to your vinyl,sounds a pain but its a 5min job

    the idea of being right out to the side,when running straight theres no fins in the water,the moment you turn the boat rocks over and and the fin is in and helping the boat turn like its on rails,the turn fins must also be 90* to the V of the hull aswell.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks DAz will do ,I hope me and hydro jerry get the rail's in this weekand so I can test my df33 next weekend ,POST that vid of the rocket see ya
