    No micros? There's still time How old is your son?

    I have nothing but fond memories of running hovercrafts way back when, with my Dad. That's when I got into RC stuff. LOL, it was funny watching a hovercraft jam around with erecter set parts.

      My son will be 11 in April. I have another who is 8. Being a parent is the hardest thing I've ever done and I wouldnt trade it for anything.

        I have run at ODMBC many times with my fe boats. I have never heard a discouraging remark. The members even held a drivers meeting to vote wether they would allow electrics to race with gas and nitro, not one person contested. Lighten up on the gas dudes they're just scared of change.

          they're just scared of getting beat while wearing a t-shirt that reads...
          "only girls play with electric toys"

          I did see that shirt out there many times.

            My cousin is a MIT type. The avatar is one of the projects he worked on. They had all kinds of funding and sponsorship. Anyway, it has hydraulics and moves just like a fish. On a few occasions, I helped him come up with a few design ideas to address issues they were having. However, he's the smart one. For all I know, he could have been humoring me!

              Very cool. I thought you might be into offshore fising. I used to have a 29 sport fisherman I kept at Lynnhaven and Rudee Inlet for a month or two during the summer.

                My wife has family that runs some various marinas out there. Small world.

                      Egneg, I saw you online.

                      I'm still working on that meeting to discuss props. Its just that a few extenuating circumstances have been in the mix. I haven't forgot though

                              Are you sure that's Dirty?

                              Sounds like Douggie to me!

                              He hasn't reserved a hotel room in the area lately I hope? ... I forgot he is in Canada and they only use the campgrounds as hotel rooms are a bit costly (although it is off season).
