    Sorry to hear about the shoulder Doc.
    Actually the blogsite is great as I can put what I want there and it will be easier to find than on here. I can set it up in categories and dates to make it easier to find old info that can be useful. Hoping to take my Drambuie out in the morning. Back to work tomorrow night. I am still doing the college lock up and Kmart so model time is scarce. Lost 6kg lately and feeling good. Marvelous what vegies and FatBlaster Shakes do although the 10km walked at TAFE each night helps a lot

    I have started a blog so that I can store all the test results of my models for future reference and to make it easier to make the next changes in my search for more speed etc.

    The weather in my neck of the woods ranges 35'f-120'f but mostly 65-90.
    The offer of hospitality stands, Randy... if ever the 'good life' gets a little monotonous.

    While you're down there, my shoe needs a clean


    You're the best Tasmanian RC FE boat fellow these forums has seen. in my books, Paddy.
    The odds are still good for a barrier rail start with rc boats a plenty sprinting in straight lines across the lakes..

    Im glad you gained some steering experience with these toy jalopys..
    Time to get yourself back to the drink
    and hopefully this will encourage Douggie ( the absent ), back to our pages

    regards
    Wayne

    Love the rudder/strut setup Chuck. All nice gear you have got together there. Don't forget the video camera when the boat meets the water for the first time.
    Thanks Paddy ... I think you will be quite surprised by the final look of the boat (if things go as planned).

    Be able to work and play rc at same time !


    btw
    I think auspost hates me ...
    I am not working until midnight tonight. The box and the gps are on the table. GPS is bubble wrapped. Address has been printed. Has to be taped and taken to the PO and it will be on its way. Will overnight it and that means you should receive it no later than 5 days after I post it

    BTW I got to go flying and out with the RC car this morning. I have all my lovely boats sitting there and no time to use them. I hope Roger's leg gets better soon. I miss the splashing of the boats as they cartwheel down the lake
