added video of first water testhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byQVEPyXuh4
the bow is slightly diving in reach and it has some difficulty to jibe,
i added the short keel with 5 deg back to move the weight back a little.
also added a hydrofoil for keel and rudder and i cant wait to test it again..https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2907306
now i need to solve the balancing problem..
Update 17/05/18:
Added some pictures of the keel and rudder.
For the rudder pin I used M4x30 stainless steel bolt screwed to the rudder holder from bellow , I put a 6mm OD, 4mm ID stainless steel tube in the rudder for free movment.
For the keel I used a 400 grams lead fishing weight that I drilled in it to fix it with a M4 screw that goes to M4 nut that I put in the keel top.
