This is more a of general question. I'm not sure if you guys can help without a specific hull.
A lot the Newton plans (so I've been told) were drawn in an erra where the power available wasn't quite what we have today. Some of those plans become quirky when you crank up the speed.
I'll be building electric. Turbine style. I know at least that much. All kinds of power options. Planning to go fast.
Got me to thinking. Can you guys tell me in general terms what might make some of those old designs blow over specials if I really crank them up? Too much air? Angle of attack? Or would we need to talk about a specific hull to really pin down some concepts?
