    Zipp 30" tunnel update

    Finally started on my G30 after getting basic supplies, work area, blah, blah, blah. I'm a pretty literal guy (it sucks at times like this) and I'm stuck as soon as I get started. Instructions say to "Grab both insides (marked INSIDE)". Well, I don't see anything marked inside. The Sponson...

    Asking for a moment of your time....

    So sorry to hear of your loss. In my short time in this hobby I've learned boats are really an excuse for friendships, relationships, and supporting one another, and then to go fast. I suspect this is a good place to find that when you're not at the pond! Be well and I will certainly heed...

    Tools at the pond

    You're killing me! :) Love the inspiration this place brings! I'm worried whether I even have the right wrench to change a spark plug yet . . . and take solace that you did the same thing at one time . . . albeit at a much younger age. LOL

    Heart Attack - James Beasley

    Hi James . . . I don't know you, but I absolutely respect and appreciate the sharing of such personal news. I think we all need reminders (particularly true of men I believe) that we need to a) listen to our bodies, and b) not be afraid of regular medical attention and support. I believe it's...

    Before I build, I need . . . what?

    You know me all too well . . . . and I received some tips to have a fighting chance to unstick fingers without skin removal!

    Before I build, I need . . . what?

    Thanks so much for your generous thoughts, experiences and suggestions! I'm realizing just how generous everyone in this hobby is with their time and knowledge. I'm looking forward to continuing the journey and learning as I go. I have some great ideas to get me started and off the ground...

    Before I build, I need . . . what?

    Why yes Mark . . . your comments in that now 24pg thread (I'm working on reading all 24) helped me decide that it would be a great introduction to model boat building as was one of the thoughts behind that development. I know there are lots of theories but I'm going to give it my best shot to...

    Before I build, I need . . . what?

    Decided I need to build a boat to figure some of this all out. You know, get my fingers stuck together, realize that if I'd only done "this" it would be better next time and all that. Plus, I need more than one to get some practice going round and round. I think I've settled on a boat; a...

    New to RC - Have Boat - Need Radio/Transmitter

    I hate these questions, but I've read/watched online and at local races until my brain is full and I haven't really seen anything quite right for a newbie/first timer (vs upgrading). I've picked up quite a bit from local races/racers, but the season is starting to wind down (one more this...

    Bob's Header Spring tool

    Wow! As a newbie I've been looking and reading to learn as much as I can by reading the what's, why's, and how's and what I may need for tools and the like. Lo and behold, a tool I made about 40 years ago to deal with clutch springs on my motocross bikes when I was ~20. HA! Was a life (or...

    Let's try it again . . . . in the Pacific Northwest

    Hey Mike . . . thanks! So I thought I had all the races in my calendar and assured my wife after watching the FE guys last weekend we were done for awhile. :) We'll be leaving town the following week and will miss the last points race (yes, I'd of made the trip even further north) so you...

    Let's try it again . . . . in the Pacific Northwest

    As a kid growing up in San Diego, we often went to the model boat basin in Mission Bay to watch the races as inexpensive entertainment for our family. Made a feeble attempt to get into the fray about 20 years ago by buying a nitro tunnel but for a number of reasons things didn't get off to a...
