X2 simply means times 2, that I agree with the recommendation of the H-7. I have used the H-7 for many years with my 21 Roadrunner. Tried the H-4, H-5, H-6, H-10, 1445, 1450, etc and the H-7 ended up being the best for me and my son's Roadrunner's.

Marty; In the 21 video after the start, and after you went through the first turn, a boat temporarily past you down the back stretch and you regained first place after turn 2. That boat stayed in second place for the rest of the race. Was that boat with the yellow cowling a road runner? Who's boat was it Garys,Rods or Toms? Any SGs or JAEs ?. Thanks --DAN

Tom Foley was running his very old Roadrunner and it is very competitive too.

Actually my boat is a scratch build by Dave Davis( St Pete .) who used to race in D - 3 in the early and mid 90's . All Balsa and plywood , home made hardware , tank , cowl etc . He did a great job . I've owned it since 1997 and had 4 different engines in it .

That second place boat was faster, but drove the LONG mile while Marty drove the short mile. I don't know who's boat that was.Jeremy was racing his MAC 21/ SGX. It is as fast as the fastest out there, but was not in that heat.

There were a couple of competitive JAE's and Marty's boats. Tom Foley was running his very old Roadrunner and it is very competitive too.

I can't say that I saw one boat the was light years ahead of the rest.

LOTS of shared knowledge these days makes the playing field fairly level.

 

[dr gary turner]

Could that have been my JAE 21?

Stu is thinking of coming down next year as well . A 3 day race would be great !

 

[dr gary turner]

Yes 3 days, testing Wed and Thurs if possible. Had a great time. Need test time since we that are North of I 10 have awful weather in Dec and Jan

 

[Duke Mordja]

3 Day race would be great. I would try and make a family "race vacation" to Florida from Wisconsin in January.

5 below zero today.

 

[Andy Brown]

Three solid days of pure NITRO burning action! Oh yea!

 

[JeremyEdge]

Hey Andy, dates will be realeased soon for a 3 day Nitro only race in November!

 

[Andy Brown]

Great news Jeremy!

 

[stan simpson iv]

[Joe Warren]

[Marty Davis]

Me too, as our Tampa Model Boat Club District Race is in November and it will be difficult for our members to come.

 

[Robert Pickard]

Oct is district race at Broward

 

[JeremyEdge]

We can't please everyone, we are trying really hard to accommodate all racers and races, and trying not to step on other races toes either.

D3 district races do not pull much nitro, the Fall Nats is in October and they have a pretty good nitro following, September is still to hot for some to race in south Florida, in order to try and save nitro and have good nitro races we all have to work together.

 

[dr gary turner]

Nov is too close to Winter Nats in Oct. Jan or Feb would be good. Ready to get out of the North. If in Nov may have to choose between it and WN. Also in Jan or Feb we are out of the Holiday seasons and Looking for a race.
