Just curious to know how the tunnel tabs are set up..Is there a certain fixed angle that works best or a sweet spot? Do they need to be adjusted if weight is added, i.e. stereo, batteries, etc..

Tunnel Tabs are not so much for weight distribution, but to control a inherent porpoise issue with "Tunnel Hulls" at higher speeds.

I really like the tunnel tabs because they help pack air at a slower speed and help control kiteing

I mount them 3/8'' up and start with them level with the bottom

if your on the nose bring them up an eight at a time

Hey do you still have a set you're interested in selling? Maybe purple in color?
