A new R&D drop nozzle system was seen in Nicky Goundreaus SX-R which was built by Bill Chapin. Later the classic trim system was ditched off by designing a new way of changing the direction of the water using a wing. A plate was fixed underneath the tray, just behind the steering nozzle that pivots with the use of a mechanical or hydraulic lever and respectively changes the direction of the out coming water. According to Chappin the new system does not affect the handling or the behavior of the hull when the rider goes round the buoy.
