Got four props from Mark Sholund, today!! They were inside of a padded envelope. Inside two new post office boxes, wrapped up and tapped inside of rolled up/folded news paper... NO WAY they were going to get hurt!!! His props always look like they should be on someone's bracelet or on a chain...

OK, looking into flow meters, duh... We've got some people making some welcome flow meters... The question is, What is the better meter per cost, features/usefulness, reasons why, personal experience, and, anything else that may be of interest???? Why this one may be a better idea and why...

Thinking about changing my head bolts in my 21 Beta "Evo" and my 45 RS "Evo" over to stainless steel... I know they're metric. But, what size??? Thanks in advance. Ken

Hey, Walt. The new order come in yet? Ken

This may get me banned. I NEVER have liked politics. I don't care to HEAR politics. And, I take a STRONG offence to my favorite public RC boating forum being turned into a SOAPBOX for politics!!!!! If it has to do with club nominations, rules discussions, something to do with boats, fine. I for...

Use to follow Brian Callahan's career so also whatever he had to say twenty some years ago. Last I heard he was doing some studying in Ireland, I believe. They did some studying on nitro engines and figured with the different nitro content what the best percentage was for different size engines...

Where can I get a regulator for my flow meter?? Ken

As title suggest, an american company. Thanks in advance! Ken

One item I've never seen is a paint or some other attempt at controlling heat generated by our engines and exhaust other than venting. And, of course water cooling being discussed. I know at least about 22 years ago turbines in R/C airplanes started really becoming popular. One item I was really...

Been on the prowl for a couple LiFe batteries that will fit in 1.5 x 3+/- x1"... (At this point I would consider NiCads) Have seen LiFe packs without balance cords... My question is how are the balance cords wired up??? I use to build NiCad battery packs and been soldering for many years. Any...

I'm sure somebody has tried it. Has anyone had any experience with Shoe Goo and nitro? May as well open this up while I'm at it... What about with gas? Ken

Just wanted to wish Marty Davis a Happy Birthday!!! Marty helped me with my Road Runner .21 Rigger about 20 years ago. May have been my first race with a rigger, Celina, Ohio. Marty not only helped modify a prop along with some other tricks... He also helped by acting as pitman when it was time...

Recently acquired an "H & P Racing" aluminum .67 engine floor mount. Looking for equivalent that will fit my Blackhead .45 Picco's. Wouldn't mind info on H&P Racing... As I like the mount I do have. It will be going in a scale boat. Also looking for an O.S. 9 b carb in new or slightly used...

We all know to build a wood boat you need a good flat surface to work from. Yesterday I was allowed to search a very large business that sells and distributes slate and granite counter tops. I was looking for a piece of stone reasonably close to 24"x 57"... I knew it would have to be 1/2" thick...

I know I want to use Krylon paint on my fiberglass boat. But thinking I want to do a thin primer just to seal up. And find any imperfections. I know the less paint the less weight. Any suggestions as to what primmer? Just use their white and skip a separate primer? More concerned with the...

I'm curious as to how many people run thrust bearings on their prop shafts? I'm talking about bearings that would run up against the out-put end of the strut and ahead of the prop. Or for that matter lower unit? Been out of racing for about 19 years and I don't recall using them back then...

O Kay... Here's one for the real motor heads... Since this motor hasn't been made for a while... Can someone tell me what the threads are for the .45 Picco Blackhead on the end for the cable collet? Think it's 1/4-28? And maybe the diameter of the recess where the cable collet fits into??? Have...
