Coupon was for wrong company - not a Hobby Shop!

I have a Sergal Le Soleil Royal 40" kit - I bought close to 20 yrs ago. Evidently, since then, Sergal has merged with Mantua and they still sell the kit for @$1200 US. The kit I have predates this merger and only has Sergal on the box cover. The newer kits come with multilingual instructions...

I've been waiting for someone to state they needed a pair, but I havent seen anyone ask. I've got a pair just gathering dust, and will give them to whoever needs them for just the cost of shipping. Hopefully they can help someone out. todd

I'm not satisfied with the antenna tube fastening I've been using, & the on/offswitch. I dont remember the brand name of the antenna tube fastening I've used, but it is is basically a metal nut threaded onto an alumimun fixture the the hollow plastic tube inserts into. The on/off reciever switch...

I have his address, but have a question I want to ask him. Thanks in advance!

The "head" (block where the water nipple goes) measures 7/8" front to back (that was the key measurement Bob used to identify the blade) and the blade is almost 4" total length Bob said the pin should be about .137. Thanks!

My lack of terminology is showing. I have my radio's manual and was trying to figure out how to adjust how far it makes a servo move. Bottomline is my carb doesnt quite close fully and I'd like to be able to tell my radio to move it further. What is the terminology for this so I can find it in...

I sold my Miss Bud Hull and engine over the winter; Have the 2 channel TX/RX, both servos in their mounts, and battery holder gathering dust. $30 anyone??

I've got ya by a couple a weeks! :) Best wishes!

I contacted Mark to get another prop for my JAE .12 as baseline, but he's out of town a few weeks.... which is after our 1st club meet (May 2nd). Anyone have one for sale?

I thought I'd share this for those (like myself) who didnt know this. Watched a show on Nikola Tesla.... I was aware of some of his accomplishments, but I didnt realize that he was the world's 1st RC boater. He built a radio controller boat way that he demonstrated way back in 1893 at New York...

Looking for "must do when in Chicago" suggestions. Looks like I'll be flying there unexpectedly) so I dont have any ideas of what me and the wife & son (6yr old) should do on our free time (cept Chicago style pizza - Uno's? and Chicago Hotdogs).

I thought I'd share this for those who AREN'T scientists or engineers, and basically challenged when it comes to physics (like me!) I found this very insightful, so I thought I'd share it. http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/aerodynamics/q0231.shtml And for those that dont understand the...

Does Voodoo props make their own props inhouse or does some 3rd party make them for Voodoo?

I'm wondering what carb options I may have for my lil .12 JAP NR. Rod G had suggested I bring my .250 stock carb over to him to tweak, and mentioned that something closer to .280 ID bore would be an improvement. Then he had some medical issues to deal with, and I'm not sure how he's feeling at...

I couldnt find my 1st video (I wanted to post this next to the 1st to show the progress at the club pond but the winds havent cooperated), so new post.... As you can see the lil .12 JAP rigger has gotten faster... however, the turnfin needs tweaking (pulling to right - you can see the change in...

I picked up a small misc stuff at the closest RC shop (a small car/crawler shop out in the country) a week ago. The owner had a .60-.90 hydo (not a rigger) for sale - only boat in the shop. Out of curiosity, I asked him to pull it down to see and asked him his price. After I got home, I forgot...

I know IMPBA offers some charts for measuring speed... this should be additionally helpful. Our clubs course is 330ft from bouy 6 to bouy 1, and I made this chart so I/we have something more accurate than the radar gun. All that is needed is a stopwatch and the measured 330 ft straight. 1 foot...

Our club had a "speed run" today. My engine is still too tight to turn over on a 12v Sullivan HiTork starter unless the plug is loosened - but she ran an honest 42 on radar! :P Last yr 43 was the top speed, but everyone's .12's are running faster this yr..... ;) My fastest run was when it...

Today Larry Conrad, Richard Dahlheim & I got together to run toy boats. Was the first day for my JAP .12 ;) , and Larry's 1st day w/his new Blackbird (boy is that a NICE boat w/alot of potential), and Richard brought his .21 BlackJack (I got there too late to see her run, but I heard its...
