That is a sweet boat! I'm interested in how you have the tunnel tabs set up , It looks like you have it hooked to the rudder, could please explain how you have it set up. thanks

 

[K.R.Joye]

The tunnel tabs are set up via cabled mixing linkage that react from rudder servo movement. When the rudder is neutral (boat going straight) the tabs are set for 3-5 degree down. Air going thru the tunnel is channeled down at the rear creating downforce on the front nose. The faster you go, the more airflow generating more down force.

In right turns the tabs lift up not channeling air. Neutral air flow..

Kind of like a mixing linkage on a plane.

The principal could easily be adapted to a hydro canard wing. Only the canard would be set for angle up in the straights and go down to neutral in the turns.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for sharing the informations, you read my mind, that is exactly where i was think of going with that. Did you come up with that system on your own or is a kit that you can buy?

Tunnel tabs have always been around on the full size cats. I just worked out the mixing mechanism.
