i would say its more of the angle that you cut in the plug then shape of the lip. ive cut triangle, square, rectangle, they swam almost identicle. what i do too is get the plexi glass to fit snug into the plug and cut a few different lips so you can interchange them. if the slot is a little big just put masking tape on the tip of the lip that is going into the plug so it doesnt fall out when you are testing. i use the swimming pool in my neighborhood haha. let me know if you have any questions. i can get pics too if you want.

I thinking the weight of the lip might have helped also. NOW I know what to do, to do MORE little guys all my SCRAP wood will be LITTLE GUYS, should have a good SCHOOL of them for next season.
