I agree with the straight as possible. I pulled my props to have some nicks taken care of and could visibly see howhat far out they were. Seemed off to me so I thought I would ask before I do any adjusting. If I could remember my password I would post a pic. I can't do it from my phone.

Question for someone more knowledgeable than myself. I have run straight back sportmasters on my cat that I took off of my Vee hull when purchased my Talon for 7 years. I bought a spare sweptback with a torque tab ( I ground it flat) last year and ran it with the straight back with no noticeable difference in feel or handling. I am thinking of purchasing another just because. Someone stated that straitbacks are preferred on a cat but others Benny Robertson for one said swept backs are faster and the way to go. Lets hear some experienced riggers, racers and wannabe fun runners like myselfs' opinion. Thanks all !

Hey Sam, Was there any final numbers on this rig. Am I missing something.
If they are still running the bravos it won't be good. I would imagine it needs a similar set up as mine. No 4 blade worked well for me.
