Run day reports.

Next up Chris, Hugh, Larry & Brian G in a round of LSH. I was running camera and got too confused to tell who won the heat. One of y’all can declare yourself the winner.

"Ooo mercy, I just heard somebody hit sumthin..."

That was me "spear fishin" again.....

BG, Hugh, Larry & Scott do LSO although it was just ran as an oval since we were missing a course marker after the LSH run. When a fast moving hydro punches an inflatable ski pylon the marker loses.
I think Hugh took this one but could be wrong. I get confused with “who’s on 1st” when looking through the viewfinder.

Thanks Chris. I didn’t realize you were shooting this heat until I got home and started processing movies. Here’s Hugh, me and somebody new (another Bill) in a round of the Q boats. I got a pretty bad start but managed to work my way back up until the lvc cut in. Man we did a lot of laps. No wonder I'm so tired.

Here’s a short clip of me trying to get my H&M hydro set up after changing it over from LSH to P sport. This was it’s 1st splash since the transplant so it’s not “all that”. Would have been a P sport heat (or slaughter) if Larry hadn’t spun a prop dog.

Seeing I didn't make it passed lap one turn 3 in either race.. it wasn't me.

Scott and myself running the “dreaded STD” class (even if mine is “illegal”). This was the 1st outing of my Mean Machine twin with Tacon 3674 1700kv motors. I think it needs a “barn door” for a rudder. 1st full throttle down the straight and crank the wheel to the right. It keeps going straight. Panic and let off the throttle. Hard hook. After a few laps I did figure out it would corner at speed, just not at WOT. It still needs a wider rudder though.

Another round of LSH with just Chris & Larry running. This should make you feel better Chris. Larry knows how to go spear fishing too. His “catch” refused to let go though.
That’s it for video taken today. I did snap a few stills though. One or two of them show just how glassy the lake was when no boats were churning it up.

Man it looks so nice, warm and fun.

01/08/12 It was an unusual weather conditions day for Ackerman today. Just a touch of breeze and water that was almost a mirror like Encore was on the 1st.

1st up is Dan’s recently acquired Team Believer cat. Somehow the esc endpoints missed being set and it was a little bit on the slow side.

Here's Dave’s (HRC) Miss Elam glow to electric conversion with a Neu 1515/1.5d running 3s 2p. This was it’s 1st time in the water.

Daves elam ran well. Glad to finally see him bring and run a boat

Here's a round of LSO with Scott, Brian, Hugh, Brian G, & Rich (did I miss anybody?) I’d say Scott was the winner of this one.

[bill34207]

Here’s the dreaded STD’s. Rich, Brian, Scott and me. I can tell you for sure who the winner wasn’t. I gotta get a better rudder setup on this thing. I think this one was Rich’s win.

Nope, Rich isnt legal. Brian and I are the only legal STD boats in this go around..... William!

[bill34207]

My 47” mono off on a solo run. Seems like the demons of Ackerman were haunting me today. Or maybe I just can’t figure out how to drive on calm water.
Watch closely as the video approaches the one minute mark.
