Cant wait!! This is goin to be a fun event!! Our shop is FULL!!!!

Hey Dad... we should o this EVERY year!!! lol

 

[Doug Smock]

Good news and bad news.

Things have been pretty rough here. :huh:

I lost my youngest brother just before the Valdosta SAWs. Shawn was just thirtyseven and left behind a wife and two children, a three year old daughter, and thirteen year old son. He was my best bud next to Casey.

By buddy David Watson passed away the Monday after the SAWs. David loved his fleet of Chris Crafts, Lobster boat, and sail boats. David left behind a wife and two grown children.

Davids funeral was last Saturday. On Sunday we recieved the call that my mother inlaw Ms. Sally had passed away. Sally left behind seven children and fifteen grand children. She was a great lady who treated me like one of her own.

Man, somebody throw us a rope!!!!!!........

On the brighter side, "good news", I finally had some time to get back to work on the hydros. The insides are painted, servos, hardware, ect are installed and they're almost ready.

Hopefully, I'll be able to post pics of the finished boats by next weekend!!

Thanks Steve Rogers (FlightPower USA) and John Snider (Torkit)for the RX. packs and voltage regulators!

Thanks also to my buds John Snider and Jimmy Banks for your help soldering up the ESCs. That saved me a ton of time!!

Ned Schmidt, thanks for hooking us up with custom couplers on such a short notice. They are awesome, as usual!!!

Here are a few pics,

Just got off the phone with Eric Bourlet. So far after the first round,

Mark Anderson 1st, Eric Bourlet 2nd, Jerry Crowther 3rd, and I think the rest of the electric boys DNF.

They were enroute to a new lake as they had been kick off the original. Something about owner permission. Oooooops.
