What a coincidence? I live a 1/2 mile from Charger (Qualcom)stadium. Nice boat. What's the power?

[Diegoboy]

Ohhh I envy you. I want to go back home!!

She's on 2 550 motors (brushed) with twin counter-rotating 5 blade props.

[domwilson]

How long have you been away? Did you grow up here?

[Diegoboy]

I left there in 1977, went back for a visit in 1995. The neighborhood I grew up in during 1977 (National city - D Ave) seemed to go downhill. I still wish I was there.

[Eyekandyboats]

thats cool. does she shoot bee beeies

[Diegoboy]

No. Do you think I shoud make it do that?

[Eyekandyboats]

yes . get a small can of compressed air from staples or a air horn and do that

[domwilson]

Diegoboy, So you were here when it truly was "America's Finest City".
Aah the good ol' days. Complete with Rock and Roll and Disco.

[Diegoboy]

Ya. But I was only 9yo when I left in 1977

[domwilson]

Oh...Ok so it was Saturday morning cartoons, Camping out in the backyard, riding bikes, and BB gun and dirt clod fights. Seaworld was cheap and the zoo was free for kids. It still was a fun time to be here. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

[Diegoboy]

Wow. the memories that flooded me in just that short post! Whew:D

or you could rig up an electric or air powered airsoft gun and rig it up so a servo can pull the trigger.....a lot simpler than creating a mechanism to load a new bb every shot.....you can easily make a large resoviour from a paintball gun hopper to feed into the smaller resoviour of the sirsoft gun so you have more ammo (i think this would only work with guns that have a gravity fed resviour on the top of the gun.....like this one (i used to have it.....it used a gravity fed hopper that could could be easily modded to allow a paitball hopper (only filled with bb;s) to pour into it).......the gun wont really have much power behind it.....(only enough to sting kinda bad if it hit u ) but it would provide for quite a show....

you could also just use a higher powered gun if you want.....but most of them have clips with a spring loading system, that wouldnt really allow you to attach a larger hopper to it......so once you unload a clip, thats it.....but much better if you want your target to be more "aware" that something is hitting it/them

I think it's a nice display model. Put a bb shooter in it. Put it on a mantel. Have a diner party. Radio control shooting the drunk party goers. Have a coke and a smile.

[Diegoboy]

Display? Naw...
She runs better than she looks.
