    I tried indo fin controllers on my Dom and didn't like them so much. I seemed to "stick" on top turns. I only tried them a couple of times in tiny surf, but I wasn't impressed enough to seek to try again.

    yeah buzzy, the controllers, while they get a ton of positive feedback, are a bit different than a standard quad set and have a ton of area! they have what I term a progressive retro feel to them!!

    I tried them and didn't like them so much, but then again I like loose and slidey and these definitely stick in. Talked with this guy at a shop today who likes to run SA4's with 3.7 quad rears for the regular stuff and just the straight up SA4's on his pipe gun. Saw on Amazon they are selling the carbon fiber elevon 3.7 rears for $50, but I'll probably try the cheap ones first starting out with the 4.0 rears and shaving them down with a belt sander until they feel right since I probably have 50 pounds on that guy.
