            But the important thing was that the FINS worked as designed!!

            You guys should release a special edition wooden version of the UL1...

                  Stills only and you are correct lock on with the focus and let the shutter fly

                  Do you shoot that with still or video and then clip a pic? I figure since you are mostly a still shot person you are letting the autowinder fly! (or that is what we used to have)

                    Cool site. Thanks. Back when I was manufacturing UL-1 hulls and ESCs I sponsored Jerry at a couple races. I think that was Detroit in 2000 or so, and maybe Evansville. What a blast - full size UL boat with an "RC-Hydros.com" logo on the tail! I built a Pocket Mechanic for the owner (my UL model was scale of the UL-72 & UL-125/UL-10 hulls).

                    Almost every one of the full-size racers is a really cool guy.

                      Yea these UL boats are TOO COOL. Shows that Grimracer has verygood taste when it comes to boat design. My wife loves the look of my UL-1 boat.

                        The wife and I have been working on our paint job for a couple days now. Should be done in a few more days, I think your going to like it as it is all starting to come together and she is looking good, I got the idea watching American Chopper. Gatta love that Nubs that boy can paint! This project is a first for us so be nice

                              Nice color combo...Red and Yellow... reminds me of Kevin Harvick's #29 Shell sponsored race car. Although I still think the color White is best because it is very easy to see from hundreds of yards.
