    Receiver Mounting

    I remember when 2.4 first came out it was stated not to wrap receiver in foam rubber. Has something changed that it is now okay to wrap it? I never wrapped them, just velcroed to the bottom of the box. I used Scotch brand velcro and it was very good.

    Found Fuel tanks needed

    I used to make my own tanks from either a pint or quart empty can, what ever would fit in. I would then cut it with a dremel cut off blade to fit the length I needed. While it is apart I would add the pickup and fill brass tubes. Soldered it altogether and was almost cost free. Worked very good...

    Sealing a Wood Boat

    In the early days of boat building Hobbypoxy was the glue of choice. Then I started using MAS epoxy and again built a strong hull. Being real old school it's hard to accept a white glue to make a strong joint and being waterproof to boot. I know Zipp kits recommends Titebond also. Do you think...

    Im so old...........!

    Back in 1970 when I started flying the trainer took my plane up, handed me the transmitter and walked away. Needless to say that was the end of the plane and my flying career. The boats were a safer venture, unless the radio got wet. That's when we learned how to make a waterproof radio box...

    Electric starters for gas boats

    When the RIO 51 first came out they had a FUJI engine in it and they were was no way you could start it in less then 30 pulls. I tried every which way to get it started. I actually ran it once and that was it. I converted to a Zenoah and 2 pulls off and running. Eventually they started selling...

    Is there anyone that may have any nitro r/c boat sitting around they don't use and be willing to sell me one on monthly payments please 👍

    There is a site in eastern PA, in the town of Bristol, where races are held there almost once a month. I see your pretty far west in Pa.. Maybe go on the NAMBA site for district 1 and maybe give the District Director a call and maybe he can see if there is anything in your area.

    Where do you live because that makes a big impact on shipping? Could possibly get something local with no shipping and able to meet previous owner.

    Model Engine Corp. of America (MECA), Engine Collectors, Hobby Swap Meet

    The people of CA are happy with this Ah because they voted him back in. How can you feel sorry for those people. That's why voters should take a test before they vote. Living in NY we have a Mayor that is just as bad, fortunately I live on LI where sane people and some politicians still live.

    Hardwood triangle stock

    I used to get it from Tower Hobbies, but who knows now. Locally might try home depot, lowes, Michaels or Hobby lobby.

    Hughey 19 kit

    In the mid 70's there was a lot of new hulls coming out. I remember seeing the Hughey's running very well by the owner. To name a few hulls, JVS, Churris, Octura wing dings, and Crapshooters. I tried them all and couldn't duplicate the owners speed and stability till the Crapshooters came out...

    Octura White Heat info

    I have one also and I ran it in the early 70's till the crapshooters came out. I'll send it to you if you pay shipping. When I ran it I used a strudder, but converted it to a solid drive and a rudder only but never ran it that way. I stripped the paint off the top deck and will send a pic if...

    Ask the Mother that lost her son and her husband was almost murdered at the same time. You can't argue with the truth. You must be a non believer!

    The truth will outweigh the lies, The future is now here!

    If people watch the 6 o'clock news they can see bad things have gotten. Education you say, the results of the reading ability in big cities is almost zero from the kids in school. In NY Bragg's platform was let the Criminals go. So they elected him. Then on the news a Mother is crying because...

    The truth will outweigh the lies, The future is now here!

    Unfortunately things will not change because of stupid voters that don't want to make this Country great again. Look who was voted in in Chicago, more liberal than Lightfoot. Pretty much condones what the youth are doing there. Then we have Bragg here in NY that lets the criminals go and commit...

    The truth will outweigh the lies, The future is now here!

    Anybody that is parent knows Joe B. is a blatant liar, and here is why. When I see my kids after kissing and hugging them and finding out how my grand kids are, my next question is how is work? If Joe never asked Hunter how is work he is the most abnormal person claiming to be a parent. When Joe...

    Octura Wing Ding 60

    I had a wing ding 40, but never could get it to run that well. Maybe if more people saw the news letters that He came out with, we might have gotten them to run better. Of course there was no computers back then to get all that info, so we waited for the next new hull to come out. I had a Lil...

    One of the most shocking and disturbing things I've ever heard or saw.

    The problem in this country now are the voters who elect the worst possible candidates. The people that had a chance to better things vote for the same a____holes so as not to change things. This is what we're stuck with. Just look at Brandon's approval rating, how can 40% of the people think...
