    How about the chines? Are they the same (square?/round?) as previous incarnation? I suppose you could add a small keel to see what that would do for you, if you aren't going over shallow stuff. How easy is it to trim that R/C stuff?

    It's pretty easy to trim. I didn't have any problem at all. I was thinking about putting a small keel as a last resort just to get this thing to go straight...or maybe just ordering a new hull that is wider to begin with. There's a guy that makes it for $150 in Youtube.
