attention attention

20W hates coil and thinks they are garbage

 

[20W-50 and blood]

rode two coils..roughly my dims. in terms of flex and what positive that comes from it....i think ambrose sufboards flexdrive, standard xtr foam and glass schedule, and firewire (i F*(#()# HATE THEM) gave more bang for the efort than coil did. CAn only guage what i have ridden and had results with.
hell...i even prefer the feel of standard pupe to the coil sh!t.

let teh fat kook lynching begin.

Does anyone else like nearly equal to equal sized fins front and rear on quads?

I have found that this is my favorite setup in my quads. I push them about as close together as they can go in my adjustable fin boxes (eg Fusions and Lokbox)

i am the opposite , smallest fins front and back for me

Yes, I love this set up. I think it really depends on the placement of the boxes though. If all 4 fins are close to the rail they work really good. I am using Grif templates up front and PC5's in the back box's, goes unreal for me. Lots of drive and is loose.

Last session I bought a set of H3 Larges for the rear box's, even better than the PC5's. Felt a spring out of my bottom turns I had not felt before.

Mr. Bulkley suggested this set up of all 4 similar size a while ago and I have not gone back. Stiffer material for the front fins and flexier material for the rear. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I have glass in front right now and old school black future glass in the rear right now. I am going to try glass flex, thanks for the idea!

 

[Racerx63]

Anytime!! Brain Bulkley is the one to thank for that idea. It really works with the right fin positions.

 

[ghostshaper]

Tried four LBX1s in his polywog on fire. Not quite enough fin for me, I think, but after discussing with Brian, I'm going to move the fins back and see how it does. I need to try the big rears on my new M80. I'm intrigued by the concept. I prefer more drive out of my fins. I'm thinking G10 fronts and Kelly's composite side fins in the rears might make the fat diamond tail hold.
