Nobody can go out on weekends. If you get caught out when you should not be, you get arrested and taken to jail (not sure for how long, but not interested in finding out for running my boat!). But that is why cases here are going down, and mortality is low, so I am not complaining. With all due respect, I honestly do not think the US is a good example on how best to manage this pandemic...
    Don't blame "the people" of the US...blame that idiot (and that's putting it INCREDIBLY kindly) in the White House.

      Did not want to start a political discussion, but POTUS has really dropped the ball on this one. I do not agree with much of what he has done up to now (not anything, really!), but he REALLY screwed the pooch on this one! Not to mention that the world opinion of the US has dropped significantly since he took office.

        True, true...but, enough of him (like you said, let's not turn this political). Getting back to the cat, you're really not going to be able to do a real test until the "lockdown" ends. Until then, using my extremely limited FE knowledge (which is EXTREMELY limited, only owning one, which I bought 3wks ago), I'd highly suggest leaving it as-is, and leave further testing to larger bodies of water.

        When building off-road race vehicles, or crawlers, the only reason I do "hallway tests" is really to determine if the steering is truly centered. That way, I'm close enough to my 'workspace' should I need to reposition the servo arm. With the exception of one time, I never do any "fast" tests in the hallway (and, to be honest, after that one time, I was in hysterics...but, I also promised myself I'd never do it again). As for that one time, let's just say I'm lucky the floor-to-ceiling mirror along one wall of the dining room remained in one piece.
