    Say Hello to JetSpeed-2 !!

    Thanks to SJFE, I now have a new OPC tunnel to race at the Nat's. It's nice to have a spare hull, as I found out at WWIV when I did a full-speed head-on with a concrete wall in practice & spent all night in a motel fixing it [& won the class the next day]!

      re :

      I used to have a foam bumper on my Twinstorm when i ran it in the marina where I lived.

      BTW : here's a question for any war history buffs : What mistake is in the graphics ?? Answer later tonight

          I can't put my finger on it, but its something to do with the stripes on the side of the star? Colors are reversed maybe?

            When we were fighting Japan, there was no red bar in the "Star and Bar", yet the pilot has Japenese "Kills". I wonder if this has something to do with imported boats........

              Looks like it is meant to spend most of it's time in the air, Tony....

              Better tell the pilot to start with a little down trim....
