X2 I'm also looking for a .67 I would prefer to deal inside the USA.

What is the reserve?

61 in a couple months. I plan to live forever. So far , so good.

That makes sense except it will balance just as flat rotated 180 degrees. Could it be the trailing edge is heavy on both blades?

I started out with a top to bottom condition when out of the box. it was pretty obvious what to do. Now it will balance with either leading edge up but side to side not in the random rotation like I figured it should.

Sorry I missed the meeting last week I couldn't get away. Is there a chance I could bring my 1/12 Miss Bud down and have somebody check it out sometime? I've run it a bit here on my own pond but it just isn't 'quite right'. The idle seems a bit unreliable and the acceleration is more like an...

Thanks, (both times) I don't have anything local not even a grocery store. A trip to the hobby shop that carries basically nothing is 4 hour round trip.

I'm looking for a west coast supplier of general 'stuff' like epoxies and building supplies that is a reliable and quick shipper. I'm so remote from everything it's not worth making special trips to town for incedental supplies. It's much cheaper to pay the shipping. Any reccomendations? john

I have a NIB Prather Offshore Deep V that's been on the shelf for ever. It's never been touched. Before I build it, are there any hints or tips to improve the performance? John

"We will be having our Model Mariners Membership Meeting on Saturday January 26 at 9 a.m." Where?

My boat isn't smart enough to know wheter it was insulted or not. I've called it a lot of things and it didn't seem to pay any attention.
