Top speed / straights🚤 Boat

Blowover / flip at speed

The boat flips over at speed — the turn fin or hull is generating too much lift and rolling it.

💡 The idea: Kill the lift and get the bow back down.

Try these in order

Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.

  1. 1
    Reduce turn fin angle, or add a V-groove to the fin's bottom edge

    The fin is acting as a lifting surface in the roll — de-tune it first.

  2. 2
    Reduce negative strut angle / angle the prop thrust down slightly

    Forces the bow down, directly killing the lift that causes the flip.

  3. 3
    Move weight (battery) forward

    Lowers the CG and resists the rotation that starts a blowover.
