I am gathering hardware for a twin wing hydro. I wanted to know if there is advantages of mounting the rudder off to one side or can it be mounted behind the prop? Would you lose speed with the rudder trailing the prop? Would the boat spin out in tight corners? Most pictures I have seen the rudder is offset. Also if it is offset should it be ahead of the prop or beside it?I have a Pro Boat 1/8 Hydro and I moved the rudder to the right side so it would carry more speed through the corners. This worked but it doesn't turn left as well. Who wants to go left anyway.
