You confirm my point! How can I take time to SELL you PROPS that I DON"T HAVE when I'm too busy trying to fullfill my PAST OBLIGATIONS. When I did fianlly answer your mail and told you I did not have the props, you said you could wait....now you get mad because I don't give you more...

I replied to you about 10 days ago. I told you we did not have the CNC props in stock. You replied back to me saying that you were willing to wait. You also said that you had more guys that wanted to add to the list and would wirte me back with addtions to the order. That was all about 10...

I have tried all types of sponson offset and engine offset over the past 30 years. The Eagle SGX has everything on center and they seem to run OK.

COOL STUFF JOE!!!! :)

Yes we have too many forums now. Just lump it ALL back together into ONE forum. That way everyone will get a little more associated with all types of R/C boating. I suspect too many guys just go straight to 1 or 2 areas and never explorer the others. There is So Much to be learned from...

All these monster gas twins popping up! Looks good Mike! We are building one for a customer also. Hopefully we can race them!! :)

Actually Rick a couple of laps with a twin will do the trick if you want to lower surface tension (but you really don't). Oil reduces surface tension. A certain amount of surface tension is required for wind to build ripples and waves. Did you ever go to the practice pond alone....make a few...

"Can you imagine how BORING model boat racing would be without inovation and challenges to make something better?" Yes, It would be kinda like Socialism.....as in everyone gets a trophy......as in poor performing businesses getting BAILOUTS!!! OK, That takes care of my political "vent" for the...

Has anyone ever made a straight pin float on water? It's easy to do. Get a bowl of water. Carefully lay a small sheet of tissue paper on the surface of the water. Carefully drop the straight pin horizonally onto the tissue. Now gently push the tissue down into the water. If you have done...

Greg is on the right track here. Surface tension is much more important than water density when running on fresh water. Many things will effect surface tension. There are devices for measuring suface tension. More surface tension will cause a prop to lift more because the surface is more...

Welcome Mike, All of the rigger classes are fast. Almost doesn't matter what size you start with. Just get out and practice running for awhile. Use about 40% nitro and just practice making good clean laps. Practice driving at different speeds, not just Wide Open. When you feel comfortable...

Built my first boat in 1973. It was a Dumas Dragonfly .40. Used O.S MAX .35 for power to start than graduated to a SuperTigre X-40. Next boats were Pinckert Gators then Marty Davis Crapshooters, and an Octura WingDing. Later modified all of those hulls and then started scratch building my own...

I think in the near future, once we get caught up a bit.

Something tells me the answer is connected to Uncle Sam. :rolleyes:

So what happened to those "lean burn" engines Detroit is always talking about! :lol: :lol:
