Ive prepped a cpl boats and almost finished charging just in case.

As for namba what Bill posted is how it works or worked. I will contact namba next week as with the new changes Im kinda questioning things myself.

Bill, is that swap meet for all RC stuff or just flyin' RC stuff?

It's primarily aimed at the flyer but I have seen boats and cars there in the past. I'm planning to take my Cheetah twin along with a couple of planes I've lost interest in.

By the looks of the weather prediction, I'm out for tomorrow. I don't want to charge packs then have to discharge them at home.
If some brave souls decide to run, I'm willing to come shoot some video. We need a boat bloopers reel LOL

Its blowin quite nasty out here today. What do you all want to do? Im now on the southern guys part of the fence about driving an hour n a half for rough water.....

I don't have near as far to travel but I have a ton of stuff to load and unload and I don't really want to run in 20mph winds, kinda takes the fun out of it.. I'm pretty sure we'll spend more time retriving boats than running them.

Meanwhile, been workin on painting and decaling this, on and off, for a few weeks. Its a gasser I built about a year ago. 51" Central marine Victory Cat. Only paint is the yellow on the hull, black for the windshield and the details in the flags that I did w/ my airbrush. All the rest is vinyl I cut on my cutter. Took quite a few hours to create all the stencils and then draw them in CAD and import them into the cutting program. I then cut sample pieces out of lesser expensive low tack vinyl to test fit the more difficult cuts like the swooshes that run the length of the boat and the blue part of the flag at the stbd sponson and the wrapping under the hull... that was fun. I then wet sanded it from 1000-2000 and then used two different buffing and polishing compounds.
