NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[tiqueman]

Pack a lunch was about right. Good thing you guys couldn't hear what I was saying way out there while milfiebre was driving it on over to and into the tree line.

Yeah we were imagining what you were saying out there.

Good to see you guys are still having fun out there.

Hey obrien. That little 1515 I picked up from you is still running strong. There are more pix & youtube videos from yesterday over on RC Groups. The thread link is one page back.
I like putting them there because of the way it shows them.

Wow! Great 'mid-air" pic of my hydro. Thanks!

Really nice meeting everybody! Hopefully yesterday's turnout is a trend. We need to build up the club and get ready for the 2011 FE Nats next May in Ft. Pierce!

and a few more... Sailr should like one of these.

milfiebre, I agree w/ the wind. Beautiful MTI you had out there. Hope you can get her back up and running soon. Cant wait to see it.

Glad to hear it Bill. Did you put that motor in your p-mono?

Glad to hear it Bill. Did you put that motor in your p-mono?

Yeah, it's in my DF-33 now. Going to have to change out the old .150 flex drive for a .187 though. Tried a bigger prop on it yesterday and wound up inventing the "pretzel drive"

Aw, don't ya miss us Jeff?

Yeah that Neu motor is pretty strong. I twisted a 150 cable also and switched over to the 187.

Ofcourse I do Ray. I am glad to hear you guys are having a good time. Maybe I will start to build something soon. not sure yet though. I sold most everything, but my tools, and props.

What classes seem to be having a good turn out? Are the spec classes still looking good? Not sure if I will build another p-mono. A Q offshore might be in the mix too.

Q offshore & P mono seem to be pretty popular right now. I think we've had as many as 5 or 6 cats running at once. Pretty much everybody has a P boat too.

The Spec classes are still popular. LSH and Rigger for sure. I think OPC is waning a little bit. P-Mono and Q-Offshore as well. Much the same.

I'm not sure anything has fallen off that much. We just had a devestatingly hot summer so turnout wasn't good. This past Sunday was a great turnout. Q Offshore is definitely a good class. The Spec classes I think will remain good. I'm losing interest in P mono myself. Right now I'm concentrating on 1/10th and 1/8th scale for the FE Nats next spring.

Gentlemen,

Got a call today from Ken Haines regarding the Nats. He has two potential dates in mind. One involves Memorial Day weekend. He has posted a seperate thread about this. He wants to know our thoughts as we likely are a significant portion of the attendance.

All the best,

Ray

Ken called me too and left a voice mail. I tried to get him back but he never returned my call. His voice mail indicated he wanted to discuss dates. I'll find his other thread. I would rather go the first week in May. The closer to June, the hotter it will be.
