    Yep - was set up for N2. Not a big class in this area. We're mostly doing spec or limited classes.

        Not sure if I want another angry wife after me. Just let me know if she crosses the state line.

        PM sent with my PP add.

            Hehehe, Quite a few state lines between us...I'm pretty sure she'll take it out of my hide first

            Now, if you could somehow make sure it's delivered while she's at work....

            Payment sent, Thanks for helping me out!

              Got the payment - didn't get a chance to box it up last night - on call for work and it's been a busy week.
              I'll let you know when it ships so you can plan on distractions when it arrives.

              Namba - hydros are scratch builds based on old Oberto plans.

                  Lee, just wanted to follow up and see if you've had a chance to ship yet and if you have a tracking number.
                  Thanks,
                  Corey

                    Sorry,on-call with work last week and the Irish wife had us running around all weekend. I did get it shipped on Monday afternoon. Insured, but no tracking. Should be there between Friday and Monday.

                    Extra piece of G10 in with it in case you want to change up the rails and move the motor or change stuffing box.

                      No worries buddy....I ate my share of corned beef and cabbage this weekend :)
                      If I had to choose between insurance and tracking, I'd take insurance.
                      Which carrier did you go with?

                      Concerning the servo, was this what you used?
                      http://www.amazon.com/Hitec-32085S-H...006O3X5O<br />
                      How did that work in there..was there enough ooomph?

                      Thanks again!

                        Shipped with USPS. Packaged well enough to withstand the Samsonite gorillas, so it should survive.
                        The 85 MG was plenty to turn it. There is enough room to put a different servo on the G10 plate if you wanted. The plate comes out so it's real easy to change around.

                          That sounds great...and thanks for the extra piece of G10 material!
                          I'm excited to play with this boat!

                            Got the boat on Saturday!

                            You packed her VERY well and she arrived in perfect condition.
                            What a great looking boat, just as advertised!!
                            Thank You!

                            I ignored my family Saturday night and got her set up and ran her yesterday.
                            I'm running the 2030kv and AQ 60A ESC and I was able to mount a standard size servo with no problems.
                            Here's the maiden voyage with M445, GPS'd at 38.9mph.

                            Thanks for the extra mat'l, I was able to make an ESC mount fwd of the motor.

                            Again, thanks for selling me your great little boat!

                              Now I'm jealous. All of our water is still buried under snow and ice. Last year we were out golfing at this time, but the courses still have drifts today about 3 feet deep.
                              The smaller servo will just bolt in and should be there Thursday. Looks like you're running the batteries a little farther forward than I was. Then again, the motor I was using was about 3 times the weight of yours. Plus the CC240 weighed a little more than the AQ60.

                                What a bummer about the snow! Spring around here is the best time to run, no milfoil in the lake and no fisherman competing for the shoreline :)

                                I slid the pack fwd to hit 33% COG for a starting setup with strut and tabs neutral on the first set of packs.
                                I've got some playing to do to find the best speed to handling...time to do some reading.
                                Any setup tips would certainly be appreciated!

                                Thanks again!
