Anyone in NYC?

[domp444]

I can't seem to find anything about r/c boat clubs in the NYC area. Does anyone know of one, or are there a bunch of guys that meet up somewhere with their supervees? Thanks!

i am not in the city but am out here on long island in suffolk if you are ever out this way. have a sv27 and the new miss geico. i have been wondering myself if there is anyone out here on the island that runs boats as well.

I was thinking of going to Meadow Lake, which is where the LIE and Grand Central intersect. I've never used my SV27 there, but it's a huge lake and it'd be great for it. Where do you run your boats?

over at stonybrook pond. not a super big pond, more of a duck pond but I have fun entertaining the kids that are there feeding the ducks.

A friend of mine told me he went to Eisenhower Park, and he ran his SV27 in that pond. Said it was pretty big and there were no people to bother him. Ever been there? It's in East Meadow. Maybe we should all meet up there one day.

Hey Dom, i have been running my boats for years in Flushing Meadows lake, sank a Fastech last year and is currently running my mod. Shockwave 55 gas ..have not run in the last 2 months, been very busy at work.

Alright well let me know when you're not busy. I'd love to see the Geico boat and how your SV27 runs. I'm usually free on the weekends.

That's why I was scared of such a big lake. Maybe if I run it with the current against me, then if I flip it'll bring it back to me. So far haven't had any flips though with the new LiPos. Oh and I just took a look at the boat on YouTube and it looks pretty awesome (the 55).

I carry a wader with me to do p/u"s and if its too deep i wait for the wind to bring it back to shore, there is no current to speak about.

Oh I see. A friend of mine has those and he uses them to get my SV27 out of the boat pond at Central Park when it flips. I was bit nervous since he hasn't been there the past few days while I ran it.

And I thought there would at least be a way the water is heading, from the wind or something.

don't worry i have the same setup diesel has with the Rio ep rescue boat:

[domp444]

Yeah that looked familiar, haha, it's an awesome rescue boat.

If you're available next Saturday maybe we can meet up at a pond somewhere with a friend of mine as well? He's got an SV27 also. We can race!

[onegreenray]

i usually work Saturdays, but next sunday should be good.

[domp444]

Alright! We'll discuss more details towards the end of the week, gotta make sure he can go.
