Hey Hippie, Just wanted to thank you again for the tunnel you made me a few years ago. For the third straight year it won for me at nats! It's getting a little haggered, but still hanging in there! We ran SS1's on them this year and it was a great power option for that hull. Thanks buddie! Dick

Hey Jerry, Any new why the coverage was so terrible in the RCBM? I was excited to see that this issue had both the Nitro and Electric Nats articles. Then I saw that they merged the two events into one article and gave each one a whopping 2 paragraphs about the weather and hotel location...

Just came back from the Madison Movie with my son and it was awesome! We will see it again! For those of you lucky enough to have it in your area go see it. You'll get your moneys worth and then some! A great, "clean" movie about Unlimited hydroplanes, Hanging out with your son, doesn't get...

I just watched the LA SAW's that the Outdoor Channel taped for Inside R/C. Pachmeyer did such a good job that I almost feel guilty taking the LSH record away from him!!!!! Everyone looked good! Jim Vaughn crackes me up. "I don't know why it crashed. I must have hit a turtle! It couldn't be the...

I've been working with Ray Fuller to design a new hardware set for small riggers. It has the exact same specs as the hardware that I've run on my Crumbgrabber riggers for the last few years. Ray took my specs and made one cool little package! Check it out. Fuller's Crumbgrabber Edition Hardware...

I've been bending my skid fins with some welding vice grips and a vice but the welding vice grips will only grab a couple inches. I need something that will grab 6 to 8 inches so that I can bend the top 1/4 inch of the fin at about 45 degrees for stiffening. Anyone know where I should look for a...

Thought I'd see if anyone knew where I could keep track of the results this weekend at the unlimited race in San Diego? Perhaps an internet broadcast? I did some looking around and couldn't find much of anything, just generic schedules. Thanks, Dick

I just got an e-mail from Don Wollard of Rum Runner Racing who asked me if I'd post a message for him on a few of the Nitro/Gas boards. In the past he has offered a trophy to any electric boat which reached a certain speed, one that had never been reached before. The first was for 80 MPH which...

Sorry if this electric report is a little intrusion on this board but I just heard an interesting report. Joerg Mrkwitschka from Germany set a 32 cell record of an average 113 MPH on his first run of the day. He had a fast pass of 115. I've been told this was a conservative setup pass. There is...

Thank you for editing your post Steve. Dick

Setup tips for a K&B 7.5 and DPI Tunnel I've got an older K&B 7.5 that is stock and a DPI 7.5 tunnel. I put it together years ago but never ran it. I pulled it off the shelf today and want to go play. Here's my question. What's a good prop to start with. Also, What's a good motor placement? Up...

Hey Unc or any anyone else, I'm haveing a little trouble holding my new 12 cell tunnel on the water. Mike Hughes built me a Dumas 3.5 ultra light a few weeks ago. It was 14 ounces with the cowl. Anyway, it's pretty much the same setup as what we ran years ago except the power. I've got an Aveox...

I actually had a little time to work on the Crumbgrabber 6-8 rigger and have everything done except the electronics! Maybe I'll sneek out to my pond tomorrow! Dick

I talked to Ray Fuller the other day and he told me a guy in our club (Doug Filer) ran the new Novak Brushless system in his 6 cell rigger. At first with a x432 prop then a x632 prop. In both cases everything came back bearly warm. He also said that it looked as fast as any 6 cell rigger he had...

Just finished this one up. It's got an SS1 on it now, but I'd like to find a Plet 290/30 4 turn for it. The Hull still needs a coat of red paint. See ya, Dick
