[Davinsta]

hi I'm looking for a RC boating club in the CT area,Anyone know of any?.Also looking for a boat friendly hobby shop that caters to RC boating. thanks

I'm lookin too, I'm in Old Saybrook, where are you ?

[Davinsta]

I,m in Derby CT. I found a great place in shelton CT and got permission to run there by the property owner,s son as long as it,s electric only and no fishing this place is about 45 yards wide and maybe 75 to 100 yards long with very calm water.I haven,t run there yet because I'm still waiting for my boat to arrive(pro boat blackjack 29).

Too bad it was not bigger. I drive right through ansonia/derby to get to my pond aswell .

[Davinsta]

I,m right off rt 34 near the Yale boat house!

[Gary]

Why not run on the river? Do you know a spot you can get too? I saw a couple from my waverunner when I was out there.

I'm in Old Saybrook, it's not worth it to me to go to derby , the river is too rough, I'm still waiting on my boat too. I'll let you know if I find a spot

toby,s pond in becon falls ct 45 achre pond and rc friendly.

[Gary]

Not RC friendly. I have been working on that for almost a year with the town selectman on getting permits for Electric only RC boating. At this time I am the only person who has a short term pass that expires at the end of Sept.

Hey Gary please let me know what,s up ,if you need help whatever,there,s is more strength in numbers! In fact start something in this forum.I called a guy named Rich yesterday about the pond etc but he did not return my call.

[Davinsta]

I spoke to a state park ranger and he said that all parks in CT are rc friendly as long as your running elec ( no nitro) because I live almost in Osbornedale park an they have a halfway decent size pond for putting in.

[Gary]

Are you refering to Rich Minnick in Beacon Falls? He is very busy and its very hard to contact him often.

[Davinsta]

Yes that,s him,I'm still waiting 3 weeks for a reply.

[Davinsta]

Will you at Toby,s anytime soon?

Whats the story on the lake up in Willimantic? (near williamantic?) I hear there's a club up there. Looks like nothing else soon. We should start a club
in central / centralSouthwest Ct. I'll start looking at the maps
