Len. In your album you have a sketch for a fishtail rudder. When do you use one of these?

Hi David,

I use a Fishtail rudder on all my Tugs and they can all spin 360 degrees in their own length. Using only 1 x Motor/propellor,.

 

Bobs rudder is not a Fish Tail rudder

 

Brrr it is cold here in Kent.

Hi Bob. I found your album with a “not a fish tail rudder” in it. The model is looking great. Is the winch a working model?

 

Hi Len. Thanks I get the idea now. It will be a great way to improve a model with a poor turning response.

cheers.

David. 

PS. It is cold here too, it has dropped from 32deg C to 20deg over night. I have had to put a sleevless pullover on over my tee shirt.
