Classic 22 porpoise?
Hello, I owned a Z21 that porpoised and it drove me nuts unless the tabs and drive were completely down. I am considering purchasing a 22 classic and have read that the 22 also porpoises. Do any 22 classic owners experience this problem? Any help on this will be appreciated.

They do if propped wrong. A turbo or a Hydro settles them out real well. Still a bit touchy till you get used to them, but once you you figure out the sweet spots they fly.
Check www.donzi.net for info, and some fast 22's!

Mine left the water with every wave till I got a Turbo1 Prop. I was running a Mirage Plus and it was not working out to well. Now its just fine... Like they said prop it right or hold on.

the turbo 1 is turbo propellers (turbo-props.com) mainstay 3 blade prop... many like it much more than the mirage, especially on the classics. the best prices around are from dan's discount propeller in the detroit area. he has a website, i believe it is dansdiscountprops.com or some variation of it.. do a google. search eh.
