I wouldn't count Mr. Tyndall out, I just purchased a fin from him for my scale about a month or two ago.

It is the same shape as the 40 but smaller size.

Rocky, do you have the setup info? There is a pattern for a turn fin in the hardware diagrams.

 

[maddog]

Yep I got a set up sheet.

The Tyndall fin is best. The Mike Huges fin is good too, I have not seen one of these myself, but reports are good.

How do I reach Tyndal

Yes, I am back in the shop making turn fins again! I am no longer able to do much with a file again, but I am putting about a 30 degree angle on the leading edge of the fins, very much like Andy Brown's fins. Don Ferrette has tried a few of these and he says that they seem to track better in the straightaway. All of the Sport hydro turn fins are shaped the same, just different physical sizes ( Sport Gas, .125 thick; Scale and Sport 40, .093 thick; and Sport 20, .063 thick ). All are made from 2024-T3 aircraft aluminum. All fin brackets are cut from 6061 bar stock aluminum; they are NOT made from angle stock. This makes them much stronger.

I cannot do as much work as I was doing in the shop before I got hurt, but I can still do a lot of what I was doing. It just takes me longer to do things now. If I can help you with any turn fins or brackets, please contact me at:

I would like to thank ALL of the people who have stuck with me and supported my products for many years. And in fairness to Mike Hughes, he has some fine turn fins, etc. that work just as well on the same boats that mine do. We have exchanged thoughts and ideas about what we do with our turn fins which will help all boaters in the long run. There is always more than one way to "skin the cat!"
