Have you tried the larger sailing rudder on the Revo ? I have one in the garage but have not installed it yet.

I always land with the peddles, not the paddle - and steer right up until the last moment.
Sometimes it gets dicey when I catch a wave that tries to burry the bow, I would think the larger rudder would help.

Hi BillyV -The Revolution is plenty agile enough for me with the standard rudder, but would turn sharper with the sailing rudder no doubt. Not sure if it would help in those "trailing seas" situations though. Best to just avoid those rough days altogether.
