Hi Christian,

I am not sure at the moment if I will be allowed to travel. I understand the EU is or will likely be heavily restricting travel from the US due to our poor handling of the Corona virus.
I have two boats ready, but will have to be patient to see what happens.

Problem solved, kudos to the moderators.

Hmmmmm. Been off the board a few days.

Many moons ago I had a conversation with a very well knows racer about being correct not giving him carte blanch to be abrasive. Even when not deliberate. Some of you may remember that. He would try to beat a guy up with science while ignoring the fact that the guy had been doing the FE thing for decades. Bet Fluid remembers that guy. He went on to do some great things for FE.

Don't expect people to just agree because yer right. Explain it to them. In terms they can follow. In some cases dumb it down. Gotta convince them. Heck, I'm abrasive........ occasionally. Okay fine!.........Frequently. I do try to be respectful though. If you're respectful.............you're exchanging ideas. Sometimes even teaching. If your a wienie......conversation is over.

Some of this guys information could have made for good conversation if he had not been trying to bludgeon it into people. Some of his posts would only mean something to an EE. How many electrical engineers are there playing with toy boats? 1 in 1000 maybe?

Those stator photos weren't a waste on me I'll tell ya that.

Well said Davis. I didn't see the train wreck but I did witness it rolling in that direction, sad.

[Dr. Jet]

This may not be the right place to bring this up, and it IS a hijack of the thread in a manner, but I can't help but think some people take this (or any one particular endeavor for that matter) far too seriously. I mean, after all, we are talking about TOY BOATS. Yes, some very technologically advanced toy boats, and those who compete with them should be admired for their persistence and dedication, but in the big picture they are still toys. They are fun to play with, but our entire existence and purpose in life should not be RC boats. They should be an ADDITION to our lives, not the BASIS.

I know a person that is a leader in his field and knows more than anyone else on the planet about his area of expertise, but he has never been on a date with a woman...... ever.

While these people may be absolutely brilliant, I pity them.....

[T.S.Davis]

haha Look how much Don dumbed down motor winding for us Ray. Could have buried us in gobbledy gook. I half a$$ understand that crap.

[T.S.Davis]

I mean, after all, we are talking about TOY BOATS.

Would you believe there are guys that get made when you say that? there are guys for which the competition is EVERYTHING. Ugh.

Grown men, playing with toy boats, fer fun. If it stops being fun I'll quit. If yer not having fun........look for a another hobby that is fun for you.

[Dr. Jet]

Would you believe there are guys that get mad when you say that?

Absolutely!

.....there are guys for which the competition is EVERYTHING. Ugh.

Grown men, playing with toy boats, fer fun. If it stops being fun I'll quit. If yer not having fun........look for a another hobby that is fun for you.

Brian Buaas has been a friend of mine for many decades. He is one heck of a competitor at a very high level, and builds some of the BEST stuff I've ever seen. He understands perfection. But when the boats (or pylon racers) are put away, he actually has a life.



Imagine that!



It is for tor those who are compelled to believe that competition is EVERYTHING that I pity. I'm with Terry: Let's have some fun, run some fast boats, and have a beer and a BBQ when we're done!

Hi,
a little hint like Mr. Hubert Hargett tries by all means to press me.
Yesterday I got the mail from Offshore Electric that there is a new answer in Tread that I created. But the truth is that if you click on the link to the OSE forum page you don't end up at OSE but at Hubert Hargett's website.
Acuh the username is still registered, there is no user with the name, DRT3.
Hargett thus uses the OSE website , i think in this way it is not allowed.
Is this allowed in the USA that someone uses a forum to gain access to forum members who have expressly prohibited him from contacting again. It is simply an impertinence and I will consider legal steps, I will consult a lawyer for the United States.
I don't know whether this is also allowed from the OSE forum, maybe a moderator is reading my post here.

Christian,

After being banned, our mutual friend signed up again under the name DRT3, and made a few posts with a link to a website. The moderators of this forum (who deserve a TON of thanks and credits) quickly discovered this and removed all reference to DRT3.

In your profile settings, you have the option to receive notifications to posts/threads you have made. You can choose to opt out of these notifications as well. The moderators have nothing to do with the notifications you received; it's all automatic.

This is a free forum where good people can share a common passion: RC boating. Be it scale, fast electric, internal combustion, or whatever. As users of this free service, we as members must maintain a certain level of civility and decorum. Being a moderator here is NOT an easy task. It's like herding cats. Sometimes a member steps outside of the Terms Of Use and the moderators take action to resolve the issues. Trust me when I say the moderators have done nothing subversive and should be congratulated on quickly resolving a problem.

So let's all take a little "Time Out" and thank Steve for hosting this forum and thank all the moderators who ride herd over us "Cats". All of them have contributed far more to the hobby/sport than the casual observer might realize.
