nice ..any idear when the switch will be? btw someone put that cat back in the bag!

We're waiting on the county to get us the contract and as soon as that's all done we can start running there. We gotta pull all the pins and the steps from Ackerman, then set up the course at Bennett and clear the launch area

And did bill take any bids?

No bids taken today Ron. I wasn't auctioning anything off. LOL

Thanks Chris. What he said. County could take a week or 2 months. We have no idea nor do they but we do have someone on our side and she is trying to expedite things as much as possible. Hopefully by the end of May.

Youd think so. All the rain this way the last few days and we haven't gotten 1/4" out of it. Literally raining like mad less than a mile away but not here. keeps goin around us.

Scott,

I may be mistaken but at the pond yesterday I thought I overheard you say something about going over to IMPBA next year. Not looking to start any rumors but is this under discussion?

We had some mentioning of it back in January but haven't discussed it since.

Thanks. Just curious because their rulebook doesn't cover the classes I'm interested in - 1/10th scale hydro and limiteds.

Had it at the pond Sunday. Pulled off all of the hardware and started sealing the inside Sunday afternoon. Mixed up too large a batch of epoxy and it lit off before I could get it all applied. Had to throw the cup in the sink and throw water on it. Smoking and melted the mixing cup. Here's where I am now:

Project looks great. Cant beleave you have explosive epoxy lol. Ive got some epoxy cups hot but never needed a fire extinguisher lol

Was wondering Does the turn fin on a vintage need to be reinforced?

[GregM]

Does the turn fin on a vintage need to be reinforced?

Not sure how much reinforcing it needs as it has much less area than a standard turn fin but in order to mount it I added another 1/8 ply doubler on the 1/8 keel. I've drilled it to accept 2 8-32 blind nuts for attaching the fin.

[ron1950]

Get er done. Would be fun to run with hugh and i sometine we both run vintage and modern 10th scale and there will be several others soon also
