Hey Scott,

You are welcome, Mate. Trying to get as much as I can find out there FYI those that are interested as a reference source.

But you are also building 25% larger than Roger's 1/8th nitro plans. At 25 - 26 pounds - you're going to need a crane, Mate !!! Har, Har !!!

What's the going rate - in Fosters - for a launch and retrieve??

When the pick up boat operator looks at you and laughs, or simply hands you the life vest - you'll know you have pushed your luck. It's all Good.

CHEERS !!! Bob

Hey Wayne,

I'll trade you Houston, TX summers for your Fall & Winter weather. Man, we'd have something then!!! We've had a bunch of rain yesterday and this AM so far - - so you won't be getting only Mid 90s - temps and humidity, Mate !!! Har, Har !!!

I'm going to build a Gas Scale for my Mate, but not one for myself. They are just too Bloody BIG for this old man to haul from Texas to races on the East Coast.

Looks like Gas Scales here in Texas are going more the nicely painted Gas Sport route rather than following IMPBA or NAMBA Gas Scale Rule Book guidelines..

I can't even imagine what the carb side of the pictured Lobster looks like, and painted windshields are GREAT for Sport boats, NOT for Scales.

CHEERS !!! Bob
