what is everyone workin on?

[Hydro Junkie]

No, Joe, you weren't the one that has repeatedly called me an idiot or did what you could to cause distrust in clubs outside your district. If you read a bit further, you also would have seen where that particular person started a thread asking where to locate a motor in a scale build. Since your sig says you've been racing scale 40+ years, I'd be willing to bet you don't need help in figuring out where to locate a motor

 

[julianconde]

Julian, did you permanently quit racing your "Gas" dragsters too ?

Yes strictly big boat racing only.

Cool, havent seen you since Charleston a couple years ago, you were just getting back "in" big twin hydros back then, then I remember something about a year ago about dragsters.Be safe, play hard.

Yeah time to let a hobby go and focus on bigger and better things. Yeah last time I was in SC was in 2011 lol. Missed the old days but not interested in RC boats.

Hey John,

I still have a soft spot for SAW mono's as are they are much more challenging to fly than hydro's. Hopefully we'll meet up at one of the events on the East coast.

BR,

TG

If you get a chance to come out this way let me know for sure!

Gee, what kind of servos do you use in that?

 

[Bob Kensill]

In just two days we finished the ball turret, installed the tail guns, the upper turret, the chin turret and the nose bubble. I also loaded the ammo chutes for the ball turret and left waist gun. A 100 round belt of 50 cal ammo ain't light,

 

[Rene Danner]

Hi ,

after looking out yesterday ,wether was coold ,no luck going boating i was thinking about SAW rules .

Do the rules say anything about water tempertur ? Now here water is solid and a boat will slide on the surface , not new as high speed boat do this . But a propeller ,scewtype , is not best for solide water ,so wy not propell the water by a paddelwheel ,this is ok for the rules and i found a small paddlewheel in my toolbox ,ok lookes moore like a round saw blade but it is not . It propells the solide water particles with very good efficancy. Ading a new magnet power to paddlewheel drive train and ready is the new saw boat.

Have fun and lot of insprirating input for the new 2015 year.

I love it! A good example of Lateral thinking!

I bet it's a real chore to find parts for a G model Fort, considering they haven't been built since 1945. That plexiglass nose must have been custom made
