LAUNCHING PROBLEMS

[Joe Warren]

Hey that is One Big Ass Turn Fin on the boat. Take it off and see if it will Launch. I like .040 .060 attack angle in a stk roadrunner blade. But that is No stk RR Blade. It can really suck the front of the boat down too.

Nub's got the right tool for the job. A "HAMMER" :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry Nub, you know I :wub: ya brother. ==={}

Someone Mentioned, They raised the ride height?? Got to be careful not to get the front end out of square. It would be easier to build a set of one off front sponsons... And tape the rears on.....if you wanted to rasie the ride height.

Hey Nub whats the chances of seeing pics of this twin !

heres Nub thrashing...LOL!!!

Looks like he is thrashing on my old 40 boat (I can tell by that turn fin in his hand).. LOL Did he hit something?

He must have hit some thing so did I and Larry. Larry's boat stuffed real hard. Got his props and fin and mine had the rear riped right out and broke the rudder mount.

All at the exit of turn one.

Man O man you guys are had core on this guy ! You know from here it looks like a boat that has seen its prine and needs to be takin all apart and cleaned up painted reset up instead of thrashin at the track . Instead of waiting until race day .

Nub is one of our core buddies , fancy paint doesn't make it fast , and if you run twins ...you will be thrashing at some point !!!

When you run 80 engines for power. Very important you know where the angle of atttack is on front and rear sponsons. Most already prepare to Load the boat up with prop size and max cup for speed.. Just a few things can upset this boat for launching... Struts too deep, Turn fin size and Angle of attack of turn fin, too much prop for that set up.. And if one engine is off just a bit it will show. The VAC 91s and the RS101`s have enough power... They would launch a 2x12 with no sponsons. Maybe time to Power Back Up and make the entire boat less critical....
