Please post a picture Doug.Originally posted by D.Smock View PostSteven those fins are very soft. We've bent them on Vac-U-Pickles with SV power systems, just running the race course.
I do like the blade shape and profile, it holds the 26" ish hulls nice in the corners.
A good addition to that I think would be something like Ray's standard strut bracket but a bit longer. I like the square 4 hole footprint. That's what I have been using on the small sport hydros along with a heavier version of the AQ turnfin, they hold up well.
I can post a pic if you'd like.
Just my ,02
Keep up the good work sir!!

No, I thought they were the same? Do you have any in stock? I would like to try one, if they are indeed thicker..Originally posted by Steven Vaccaro View PostNothing like keeping you lipos warm and your prop wet!!

If I can make a turn fin suggestion... Use a good grade of aluminum i.e. 6061, 7071, 7075
With the higher grade of AL you can use .063 or maybe a little thicker.
As for the AQ fins... Pre UL-1's were 1.26mm (oops I had to change it) The UL-1 is 2mm
Check tower, they should have the thicknesses...

Yep... I just confirmed the thicknesses above on Towers site. I feel the thickness dimension and the fin profile from AQ is fine, but you need to use a better grade of aluminum.Comment

I'm going to try one of these on my Whiplash 20. Im waiting for it to come in so I can finish building the boat and try it out.
If it bends on isn't good, I'll make one or wait for Steven to come out with one.My prop hasn't been wet in a while.

Steven i always said you were the BEST........... Thanks for all your hard work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hawaiian TundaComment

I always appreciate the comments, but I'm far from the best. If I was truly the best, I would be able to offer some of the RcPrince ideas. Plus I've always believed that someone is always better off constantly striving to be the best. I've known some people that called themselves "the best" and they forgot where they came from, eventually letting themselves down!
PS RCprince skype is a cool idea for taking orders!Steven Vaccaro

The old site in the beginning had some rock songs once in a while, even Christmas music.

LOL! Sorry I missed that, from time to time I'm sure we could use music on the forum such as "Kumbaya"Originally posted by Steven Vaccaro View PostThats something to think about!!

To prevent confusion, I would recommend putting the old site for nostalgic purposes on a subdomain or other link, but be sure to identify is as such and link back to the current site. Otherwise, the search engines will cache the pages for years, LMAO!IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"
