In videos of remote control hydroplanes I have seen most people install the turn fin on the far outside of the bracket. My guess is installing on the outside extends the turn fin into the water more rather than installing on the inside the fin will be hidden aft of the sponson where there is less water to grab onto? On my 1/8 scale hydro the L shaped aluminum bracket supporting my turn fin is .25 inch thick or 6.25 mm. I would prefer to install my turn fin on the far outside. I haven't completed the build yet so it's going to be a long while before I get it painted and in the water.
@@markvanyo4302 I’ve been told that water will push up on the edge of the mounting bracket if the turn fin is on the out side,causing it to lift. I guess that’s the cool thing about this hobby. All kinds of theory’s to explore.
@@jaybyington4410 Yeah, there are so many variables sometimes it's aggravating during the build process. I guess that is supposed to be half the fun? I will try installing the Turn Fin on the far outside and the far inside of the L bracket and take notes on the difference. My Turn Fin blade is completely flat. The L bracket has a slot to rotate and change the angel from plus or minus 14 degrees of angle.
@@markvanyo4302 I’m building that zippkits model as we speak and the instructions (that you can see one line) tells how to set up the angle on the turn fin.
Awesome 👌 video can't believe it has holes in the side to cool the pipe. Badass rig bro
Very good ☺️
When are you going to do a video on the Red Baron ???
Nice green...looks like Krylon jungle green..
I'm building on myself...tjanks for the info...
Is the hardware all zippkits or speedmaster
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the turn fin supposed to be on the inside of the mounting bracket ??

@@markvanyo4302 On the SLR the turn fin is cupped aggressively it should dig in good !
