I am planning on starting a .21 nitro v-hull this month (rcbm wild thing plans) and was looking into hardware. I just happen to have fried my electric cat speed control and motor this past weekend.....(nothing like opening the hatch to a cabin full of smoke pouring off the motor :-[)
But it now puts me to think I might save myself a hundred bucks and use the rudder and strut from the cat...its a fine design setup and looking at the plans for the v-hull, the LE of the rudder is 3 1/2 inches back from the transom which is fine, but the only problem I see is that on the plans it shows the rudder right of the shaft about 2 - 2-1/2 inches. On the hardware I have its only 1-1/4 right of the shaft....I'm new to mono's and dont know what exactly having it closer to the shaft is going to effect? Would I be better off getting a seperate bracket to move the Rudder further right?
Thanks for any help
