Well, Brian was running, not sure of what Rich was doing.

Other way around actually brian broke a servo mount. I miss my old cheetah. I told rich everytime he wins i want $50.00.

Yeah, but it still pisses me off! I had a full evening in that Prather 250, and it worked nice too!

's been so hot that we pretty much blew off our 2nd Sunday test n tune day. I did go out and shoot some video of Dave Carter flying his big Skymaster F-16 that day though. (Something I thought some might like to see. Capable of around 190 mph ) Action gets good around the 4 minute mark even though by then my arms were getting tired and a little shaky. The roll on take off is pretty awesome too.

Today it was back to boats. Those of us that showed up pretty much decided we should eliminate the 2nd Sunday run until it cools back down a little.
It was one of those calm water days but you pay for it in sweat with the "feels like" temps nearing the triple digits at 10:00 AM.

1st up, here's Chris' BBY SS30 P sport hydro on a solo run. Still more tuning to do

We had a newcomer, Don, that brought out donuts & coffee in exchange for some setup advice.

Dave shot this P-mono heat
Finishing order Richard, Bill (me) and Rich. Brian had a little issue with the corner and floated this one out upside down.

Thanks everyone for your help. I gained a wealth of knowledge in just 3 hours with you all. It was a pleasure meeting such friendly and informative people. Next time I'll bring Gatorade, not coffee! Thanks for the tape Bill, noticed it when I got home.
