152VO vintage OB info-

[Derret]

I'm looking for any info on electric vintage OB boats- Germany has the 152VO class of RC boats-

Wonder if we have anything here yet for this class of boats?

Anything on the market here - Kits....parts etc?

Looks to be fun......

Thanks-

Those are REALLY AWESOME... gotta build one!

 

[HOTWATER]

There you go Dave...If Mike builds one, you never know, they may be offered as kits by him one day...yeah!

 

[Mike Luszcz]

I am gonna see what I can find for plans on that site.

It's so hard to rap my brain around turning the transmitter wheel to the left.

Jan Ilmer's "Hal Kelly Ben Hur" thread on here, check it out. Also Mike, contact Hot Rod Geraghty. He has been in touch with these guys & has a boat or two on his shelf. I just talked to him a couple of weeks ago & he is involved with this stuff. Hope it helps! (-;

Thanks- will keep digging for info wanted/needed - would like to get to the German guys/clubs but can't seem to raise a response there online-

Rod G's email address?

Anybody have a contact person / boater in Germany to try on this?

Jan Ilmer on here has a build thread, I brought it to the top in the sport & scale forum for ya'll.

Mike, you were the first to post on jan's thread.......early onset of CRS?????? LOL!

Thank You for helping with this- there are so many really good model builders doin' their thing like jan-

All good hours spent in the shop to produce beautiful scale models that look & run like real boats-

Wooden scale boat builders are the backbone of the hobby I think-

This info & photos have moved my project forward- & maybe help make some new friendships I hope-

Be well-

Dave

You're more than welcome, Dave. And thank you for what you did for ALL of us when you had RPM open (-;

we all could get used to the left turn thing....I have gotton to the point that I have to ask the young guys which way we are running after a 10th scale heat though

Dave, Rod is absolutely the right guy to talk to, they even made him an honorary member with a special membership number. He actually sent me pictures today of his latest project. I will attach them for you to see. The motor is built on a K&B foot and I think you will agree that Rod is a Hellofa modeler. He would love to talk to you about this I will PM you his number if you need it. He will call back as soon as he can.

Dave has his #, David (-; When I talked to rod recently, he was very excited about this "little" project.

 

[Derret]

David- Thanks- I don't have Rod G's email address- can you forward it to me ?

I will email him when I can-

I Like the photos of the boat & OB motor - that's what I want & am working toward-

Luckily I have a friend here that has an early hull & motor of this vintage that I can measure etc etc - that's a big help to me also-

Thanks- Be Well-

Dave
