Paddy, I need your address to send the prop. I thought I had it but I can't find it.

I'll have to write a letter to customs ASAP and as soon as I can find a mailbox in all of this bloody rain (currently in Scotland)
No wonder Douggie's always grumpy. If he was raised in this climate, its understandable.

As long as Doby recommends you and the boat has a note on it saying Happy Christmas Doc you will be given an extended visa for anything up to 6 months.

I'll forewarn border security that the incoming skirt wearing old twit with toy is not expecting the famed 'DocWayne' to collect and escort him to a creche .. they should instead point him towards the taxi rank, and push..

I'll call and arrange a tentative room booking at the .5star Villawood Holiday Resort ..
I hope you'll appreciate the effort it'll take to secure this vacancy.... the place is normally packed like a ship of refugees !
The free ride from arrival location to their front door is an added bonus admired by many their appreciative guests

Well, if I enter Australia and meet with a customs/imigration officer and say how the f**k are you doing mate and have a letter from Doby saying this guy is insane and I am cradling a toy boat....what are my chances of being allowed entry??

Some South Australians think I have given up boats because I have been spending so much time with my model cars and gliders. Not so. This morning the wind was at 31 kph and I know that puts a good chop on the lake I go to so it was out with my Drambuie On Rice to see how it handled the rough water. Not knowing how it would handle in such chop I only ran it on 6s but I was more than pleased at how it handled those conditions. It just ran over the rough stuff like it was not there and left me wishing I had taken bigger batteries.

Setup
Neu 2215 1.5 Y, X457, Swordfish 300, 6s lipo = 68 kph or 42.25 mph

Not fast but it starts to come alive on 9s and just loves 10s. I am hoping to get out again tomorrow with a bigger battery.



The picture below was not taken this morning but posting it to show how I have arranged things in the hull.

You guys are all nuts, but I love you all....in fact your comments inspire me to take a walk to my doctor and ask him am I suffering from some sort of brain disease, as I tinker with toy boats and tell a lot of people to ---- off

We told you not to run your hearing aid on 6s Douggie. It fried your brain with all that power mate.

It is a sporty VW bug all early or old school cars

They were rather expensive and much sort after when I was about 20 years old Randy. Somewhere between a VW and a Porsche. Ford have adopted the name for their top of the range models. The Doc is probably too young to remember the good old classic we remember. Mind you he still chases the same women I do... ones between 20 and 90.

ferrari is an Italian race horse .. but the karmann ghia ?
Down here Ghia is attached to Ford..

Car branding means little across continents, Randy... although I follow the suggestion.

It is like comparing a karmann ghia to a ferrari

Inclination should be at 3.5 degrees that is the big deal. strut flat on the table, tub at zero in center.

Thanks

You can not compair a twin to a single that was done three years ago.

The maritimo is my best effort yet for a wallaby wrangler's toy.... this 'new' CF will hopefully make me prouder !
Stay tuned for the laughter, cheers or tears when I report on it's maiden .
