Greg, you have a PM Harvey

I'm building a 79 1/8 scale Griffon Bud wood hull from a ML Boatworks kit(MHN 8012, Newton #132). I'm at the point of making a decision on the drive line location. The model has the tub centerline offset 1 1/4" to the right of the boat centerline, which is opposite the real boat because of our...

I started a new thread regarding the possibility of a Jersey Skiff heat at the Evansville Race. For background look in the thread "Jack Kohlmeyer fall race" started by Joe Warren posts #56 thru 59.I am afraid this subject might not be noticed in the multitude of other posts there. This class is...

Mike,I saw your post # 13 under "Gas Scale Rear Wing" about future IMPBA Gas Scale rules.You mention mirroring NAMBA rules.There may be other minor differences between IMPBA and NAMBA,but a major difference is the drive dog location requirement.NAMBA calls for the location to be not more than a...

Huntsville Club Today while we were running boats at Knoxville(28 degrees) we started talking about the 2013 race schedules.Have you set a date for the Huntsville race?

Olly's thread on the Beacon Plumbing transom raised an interesting question. Comments in that thread said that performance will be improved by moving the prop further to the rear. I am using an Acc-Tech strut which is very similar to the real strut.It can be located close to the...

I am painting my gas scale T-6 and have access cover outline decals for the canoes.I have not seen a photo of the T-6 locations,but I have seen a photo of the T-4 in the shop during its conversion to a conventional configuration.The photo was taken overhead of the right canoe from the front with...

Boris,I'm posting this here instead of sending you a PM because I think other guys and gals may be interested also. I'm the only one in Knoxville with a Gen IV flowmeter.The rest are Gen III.On the occasion that someone does not have their meter handy or forgot their meter,what is the...

Greg Hahn you have a PM. Harvey

I got my Gas Scale in the water this Sunday.A little background on the boat then my main problem ,I think. Bud T-6 Wood hull CAD program by ML boat Lazer cutting by Kevin Visconti Framing mods by me Epoxy cowl and rear wing by Jeff Snell RCMKRZ modified by GIsmo 2"flat band aluminum pipe...

I'm building a T-6 Gas Scale,and the cowl has enougth room for a family of mice to take up residence.I use JR R-1 transmitters with R330 PCM receivers.I'm wondering if it works to have the antenna more or less horizontal under the cowl and about 2" from the pipe.The antenna will be more than 6"...

Unfortuntly,I have to miss the race this year.If anyone needs a room at the Comfort Inn,contact me by tomorrow evening before I cancel it.Rooms usually hard to get at this race because of a large convention in town. Harvey Liberman (865)679-1667 [email protected] or PM

I am visiting my kids in Centerville(about 2 blocks from Ron Davies) this weekend,and have a new Sport 40 which has not been in the water yet,and is entered in the Huntsville race in 2 weeks.I'm hoping that some of the Dayton club will be running boats Sunday morning,and I can join in for some...

Though I'm in D-5 not in D-14,Mike's topic"check in wha ya running this season" got my attention on posts #5,12,13,14,and 15.Phil is correct I am building a "Gas Scale".Marty Shallenberger from the Pacific Northwest Thunderboat Association and I have exchanged a number of e-mails and phone...

I'm working on another Miss Budweiser,the 1964.I've got David Newton's photo on his website(102D),but it does not show good detail of the Miss Budweiser label on the afterplane.The lettering seems different than versions I already have.I'm hoping that one of you other scale nuts might have a...

I usually hang out in the scale forum,but looks like I'll have to go to the dark side for help. I just bought a Phil Thomas round nose sport 40.If parts are available I want to consider building the boat with an exposed engine as I have in my 1/8 scale and thunderboat.I have seen photos of...

Friday the Knoxville Gang ran boats to start the year.We even had an international flavor.Bryan Roach was there from Bermuda.You may remember he won the twin hydro shootout in Atlanta a few years ago at buoy 6 on the 6th lap.I brought out my White Heat 10 which I built in 68.I usually run it...

I'm going to build a T-6 this winter as well as rebuilding my T-5.Trying to build up my parts inventory.Two of the items I'll need are the radio antennas mounted on the turbine air intake and on top of the cockpit.There are at least two types and are white. Some time ago there was a posting...

Mark sholund you have a pm. Harvey Liberman

Even though this is a gas class,I thought there might be more info on this forum.I have used a multi point linkage to positvely hold the dummy engine in my 1/8 scale 68 Bud .I'd like to do something similar on my Thunderboat.However,with the Zen side exhaust and intake this does not seem...
