Yes I know this is the F16 forum and not the F18 forum, but since the Blade F18 is closely resembling the Blade F16 design I think I can post a link to the Blade F18 video here.

It is flat water, but take a look when the guys push the whole of the leeward bow underwater; without really throwing up much spray or losing much speed at all. The boat just recovers gently. I say the design looks like it is spot on in the bow design ! This series of events is about halveway into the clip.

It this link only brings you too the video page then it is the 6th video link from the top.

Hey guys is the Blade F16 much alike in dive recovery ?
