Any rc boaters in Vancouver bc?

[whalleyb0y]

Oh ok, before my last comment gets taken out of context. This is just my lousy humor kicking in. What I mean to say is that I think the general public would be put more at ease and less likely to complain if we showed that we took the responsible steps of getting insurance. Showing due diligence is usually enough.

That Trout Lake was another place I thought about too. I had even considered taken my float plane there once. If Namba insurance covers us regardless of where we are then for $45 to give the public peace of mind is worth it! Would be nice to say "Hey, no need to worried about your dog. I'm insured"

I have run there(Trout Lake) a few times but only if I'm going out that way,I could maybe run Sunday at Albert Dyck Park in Abby or Chilliwack.
The new GF lives in Abbotsford and will be there Sunday AM.Don't know if I can cruise back to Langley,I'll check the schedule.

Weather should be decent anyway.

So how do you guys feel about maybe meeting somewhere central like Deer Lake then initially?

[whalleyb0y]

That works for me. I am pretty flexible though. When is a good time for everyone? I guess I better start charging the packs then.

Oh,don't get carried away.I don't don't think I have any time till after this month. The GF has to get moved into the new hair salon(of which I have got volunteered for????).And that happens on the 27th. Just so you guys know.

And I've got another guy whom wants to get out with us.He has a little O/B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fmS8YzcCNc
Been out at Latimer

That little outboard goes pretty good and turns nicely.

I misunderstood and thought you were talking about this weekend. Haha, no worries anyways. With the weather looking lousy it may be just as well. I got a couple packs that I'm gonna charge up for the this weekend anyways. Depending on weather, I may burn them off in the boat or in the Habu. Have a good weekend^^

I got to maiden my Supervee today! The clouds parted and the sun came so I went to Deer Lake. I got it into the water and quickly found that my steering was reversed! Switched it real quick and gave it another go and the boat literally leaped out of the water and took off like a bat out of hell!

Would you believe it though? I had loaded the discharged packs and left the charged ones at home. It was a short maiden and the lipo saver was tested alright! The lvc kicked in and I limped the boat back in before it quit 10 meters offshore. Luckily I had my boots on and was able to wade out there and retrieve it. I could have had a disaster if it died further out. I did pack my inflatable row boat but didn't need to blow it up. Once I got it back I noticed the motor was scorching hot. Was this because I had limped it in on low throttle?

I was up late last night tweaking and making adjustments to my boat. Today I took it to the hidden lake behind the firehall that was mentioned before.

I was really loving this place as it was nice and quiet and wide wide open! I was really ripping it up good and the boat was running awesome after all the tweaks. I didn't pack the wrong batts today and I thought I might be able to see the duration of my lipo setup when my Supervee did a super flip. I stood hopelessly from the shoreline but a young fisherman had offered to cast his line out and try and snag it. Some other people had tried to coax their dogs into retrieving it but neither of these plans got my boat back. I was really getting worried that while it sits inverted it would take on too much water and sink. My 3 yr old son and I rushed back to the truck to get my inflatable dingy. 10 mins later I was out on the lake in my own boat to get my Supervee and back to shore safely. Next time I will show a little respect for this boat and not run it so aggressively! All in all it was a nice day to spend at this lovely little location!

Hello fellow FE boaters. Glad to have found some common interest in the Vancouver area. I'm hoping to get some interest going towards setting up fun race events further progressing into racing for points but we need to get in contact with one another and discuss what classes to run as there are many. Furthermore, im from Powell River and have been communting down to Granite Falls, WA to compete in their very well organized club races. The stricly FE club 'Pudget Sound FE Model Boat Club' are an awesome bunch of guys and they are in full support of helping me learn to run such events up here at 'Westcoast Propbusters Club'. I can't express enough how much fun, fellow commodary, and good times are had while involved in an organized club event. Joining a club like WCPB and NAMBA gives everyone a safe and approved location to have the most fun and draw more people into the hobby. Send me a PM with a contact number and lets have a chat. Id like to find out currently what you all are running for boats/classes and see where your interests lie.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey shawn what class of cats are those?

[srislash]

Hey shawn what class of cats are those?

They would be P I think.I haven't had to pay much attention to rules as I have been running alone or with the few of the gas guys.
Listen guys,I have a "yet to be built" Bling Rocket/Pursuit hull here and bought it to get some racing going.Nothing fancy but what are you guys running that would compete? 4s 1515 2200kv is what I thought for it but can go a different way if there is something we can do in common.
That is if we would like to run together,and have fun. I know of a couple other local guys that have this hull too and could possibly be talked into coming out.
