Good pics scott. Thanks!

Thanks Jim. I posted up a few more on RC groups thread.

The steering wheel followed the motion of his hand. Talk to the hand Chris!!!!!!

Was that considered "onshore" class racing????

HUGH, what packs were you running in LSO? brand, mah etc? watching the first LSO vid, Im sure a lot of it had to do with your experience of course driving and my lack of, but it seemed also that my boat was dropping off more than yours. The first couple laps we seemed pretty even, then you started creeping up.... quickly.

[hebner]

Both LSO heats I had 6600mah total, I used 4s2P 3300 mah 35C - 70C Turnigy Nano Tech on 1st run and 4s2P 3300 mah 25C - 50C Turnigy Nano Tech on 2nd run.

I suppose so and I deserve any and all ridicule for that boneheaded maneuver.

Did you turn left or did it skip out and the hook left?

[RCKong]

Dude - that could happen to anyone. It looked like in the vid, you were cutting the turn at speed and it just skipped like a flat stone on the water...I think we all know what it feels like to leave the pond with a junk boat or no boat at all. I'm guilty on both counts.

[ron1950]

chris like kong said....it looked as if it skipped sideways....on ya....it happens so fast no time to correct it....i had a stiletto ride up a slight wave and do a 2 and ahalf gainer onto the rocks myself....dont know how it did it to this day lol

[ron1950]

got a question for ya all...i bought a gorgeous s230 prop but it wont fit on any of my boats cause the prop shaft is too long...it doesent leave enough threads for the prop nut....do i slide the shaft down a little and make a new flat spot or what? how much flex shaft do i need in the collet? etc..thanks

[sailr]

1/2" into the collet should be OK.

[richt]

ok i will

I'm confused Ron. Is your prop shaft too long or is the prop too long for the shaft with the drive dog in it's current location? In the latter case move the drive dog back enough for the prop clearance and you will want at least the diameter of the flex cable between the dog and strut/stinger when it's ready to run.
If you still have a 1/2 or so inside the collet that will be good enough.

ok i will

Will what Rich? I remember seeing you at Ackerman with Kong & Chris. So what did you do, move to a new location?
