Who did you end up purchasing your North Star paint from? Not seeing any web vendors that have sites with color chips to select colors.

THAT Mr Gilles is awesome! What a simple but great idea. What size motor and prop are you using? Is the netting just to keep anything out of the prop? Assuming front of craft is 18"-24" wide to corral boat when pushed. Love this idea. Thaks for sharing-Bill

As a new member myself, I personally don't understand the 50 posts before you can sell rule. What purpose does that serve? If you've ponied up the funds to become a member, why shouldn't you be able to utilize the benefits of the forum: including being able to sell items immediately? That rule...

Is that Brian Cranston in 'Breaking Bad'? LOL

If everything Mr Keeley says about Pierre Poilievre is true he sounds like my kind of guy with the exception of a woman's right to choose. As Ronald Reagan once said "Everyone I know that's all for abortion has already been born." Stop the slaughter.

Hey guys. Was looking at link Mike Hughes sent (THX) above and noticed ESC accessories available on the OSE website. See they sell Capacitor Bank Packs. What are the purpose of these packs and do most guys who race utilize them? Before I went to gas engines in my large scale airplanes I used...

Thanks K F W! But I'm one step ahead of you. Cruised the site for old posts and found Mark's contact info. Contacted him with my info and he got back with me very quickly. Will probably being doing business with him when I get the boat closer to being done and other components have been...

Got it.

Sent Dasboata a message about purchasing some props the day you posted. Know anything about this guy? Is he usually slow to respond?-Bill

Hey gang. As I've posted previously I'm new to the rc boat game. Have been building / flying rc planes for a decade or so. I'm starting to put the pieces together for the 1/8 MLB 172 kit I have on the bench now. I've decided to go FE with a SSS 4092 850KV motor on 8S. Starting to look at the...

Guys, asking this question as I'm new to rc hydroplanes. From the answers I read above, I'm to assume the balance point is set (meaning interior gear moved forward/boat back) to make boat balance where the turn fin is set. From everything I've read and seen in set up videos, the turn fin is...

Scott Meyers has a good video on how he does his steering control rods with carbon fiber arrow shafts. Very light, sturdy and super attractive. Does require a little machining if you don't want to purchase the premade aluminum end pieces. Video here:

Trick I've learned and used in glassing large scale rc planes involves using 100% polyester dress lining (Hobby Lobby/ Jo Anne Fabrics) often referred to as Peel Ply. Add layer of dress lining wetted out over the last layer of glass cloth and let dry 24-48 hours. Overlap the dress lining 2-3"...

Planning on setting up for 8S, with 2 4s in series. How do you go about setting up antispark resistors on ESC's? Have never heard of this.

In the process of getting started on a MLB 1/8 hydro build. Strongly considering going FE mainly for cost and maintenance reasons. Have built/flown electric rc planes in the past, moved to gas; but still have most of my batteries and chargers. Mostly 4s, 60-70C rated. Don't plan on racing right...

Ronnie, I’ll take the starter if still available. Let me know shipping cost and payment method. Shipped to 49236. Thank you!

Samuel, went through the entire catalog of Smug Mug pics and not a single one with a good view of the Graham Trucking posterior. Found some pics of other boats from the same time frame that might be similar transom. Just not 100% sure.

Ya know I'm done. Not going to argue with a 4 year old.

Hey Jeff, as the father of a top notch Michigan student athlete I've seen first hand the way Michigan treats it's athletes. Track coaches with sexual harassment complaints against them over the span of over 10 years with nothing ever done. Completely ignoring the Bo Schembechler/Dr Robert...

Hey Gang. Getting ready to get started on my MLB 172 kit I'm doing in '19-'23 U-12 Graham Trucking. Have a jig built and all of my extra wood pieces either in hand or ordered. Cowl to be ordered this week. Have looked through many different websites looking for a transom view of this boat and...
