The Twin Cities Model Boat Club with it's great gas and nitro pond is adding three FE classes for it's next season of racing. In fact I will be at the pond today testing my gas and FE boats. It's a well prepared pond with driver stand, pit area and retrieval boat. Come join us. All that is needed to use the pond is IMPBA and TCMBC membership. Minnesota FE racers have no excuse to run any more.

Ah, its in Egan


too far away for this guy, I know of a club that meets at the Target Pond on Bunker lake Road and Hansen Blvd. Its a retention pond for the parking lot runoff

I'm in Shoreview, I just run alone or with a buddy of mine that's got 2 boats.

Always interested in running with new people.
Snowing today though, might be the end of the season for me.

Anyone around the metro area can feel free to hit me up. I only just started this summer!

[hobby_man]

I'll be out tomorrow and this Friday in the 50 degree weather for sure

You're crazy! :)

There's a RC Swap meet tomorrow (sunday) at noon, if you weren't aware. Out in Moundsview, at a bowling/event center called The Mermaid.
It's mostly car and truck stuff, but there's soemtimes a few planes, a heli or 2 and maybe a couple boats. Mixed bag, but mostly surface stuff.

I've gotta make an appearance!

I spent 1/2 an hour working a aquacraft L40 x 57 prop.

Out of the package they do not work at all go figure, I did read a couple articals before I started the balance and sharpen.

My boat went 40mph with the stock plastic prop. I got 2 runs in 1 at 56mph and 1 at 62 mph. WOW, I did note that it takes a bit of time to get the prop to grap the water, it cavitates I wonder if I can improve on this? more prop work? angle of attack prop/water?
