I'm trying to find out how much I need to trim off an Accu-Tech Slingshot rudder to run on a PPB drag cat. The current Speedmaster 60/90 tapered rudder that is on it is 4 3/4 inches long overall from where it sits flush at the top of steering block. The leading edge of the 60/90 rudder is 3 5/16 inches long. Should I cut it at 4 3/4 to make it the same overall length or 3 5/16 to make the leading edge the same length?

Thanks, Mark

Sorry to sound like a smart ass , I love how the people that have never owned a dragcat or ran one successfully give you all this great advice. Got to love it ! Lmao

LOL! Well, if this rudder doesn't help it go in a straight line, back to the drawing board. I posted that thread "Still trying to wrangle this animal" on JRCBD before it crashed.

What length do you suggest I cut it at? Since you have owned a drag cat. We're going to the pond tomorrow and I want to swap rudders to see if it makes any difference.

Here's a link check out the set/up sheet I did for that boat : www.classonerc.com

This way we don't have to go back and forth and open up any cans of BS.

Well, after reading that, I'm going to cut this slingshot blade at 5 inches overall length. That will be just over an inch I cut off, seeing the slingshot rudder measures just over 6 inches stock. Also says they tend to pull right with the pickup style rudders, which is what it has on it in the video I posted. This just may be the ticket, I'll post about how it does after tomorrows testing.

Thanks!!!

Thanks would have covered it , i wrote the set/up sheet....hahahaha

I gathered that, lol.

How did it do?

Still haven't had a chance to try and get some good passes with it. It's been pretty breezy here in Oklahoma lately.

Same here in Missouri!
