Greetings... I am curious how far into the furler assem. others put their adjuster? i know this effects mast rake and is also adjusted for wind/wave conditions and is also effected by halyard length (and stretch) but would love to hear how others do it.

The reason i asked is i sometimes have extreem weatherhelm when i fly da hull' and i wanna fly!!!

i only have bad weatherhelm when stunt flying....

if its only alot of weather helm when you fly high thats natural the pressure on the rudder naturally changes and gives weather helm above 45% or so. there is more pressure under the rudder and less above it its a natural safety. i miss stunt flying my 18 i have to do it now down wing under spin
