      I noticed the RRR thread. I had my first get together with the Capitol RC club at their pond in Northern VA this past weekend. I'm the only FE in the club so when a few members broke out the nitro boats they had worked on all winter for club members to admire, I felt a little out of place. Those boats were sweet! So I quietly started getting my boat ready to run and one guy came over to check out my boats and chat. Then before you know it the small crowd followed. Good bunch of guys. They had allot of questions. One said he flew electric planes and wanted to try FE's but there was no one in the club to race. So I'm optimistic we will have a class or two of FE's running in the club maybe next year.

      My offer still stands. If you guys join the OD club and let me know what class your going to run, I'll build a couple of boats and come down for the district race. If not and your previous invitation is still good, I'd still like to run with the Fembot's next time I'm in the area.

      Mike
      I think I speak for all of us that if you are ever in the area, you're more than welcome to run boats with us!

      I think I can manage tomorrow in the later afternoon. I'm still planning on trying to run today as well. Hopefully my order from OSE will come in before and I can get that stuff to you at the same time.

        Well, good runs yesterday! I'm glad to see everyone come out. I may try to sneak in a run today in the later afternoon.

        Good news, after flip, lipos are in good shape and receiver didn't get wet. I've still yet to try the servo. I pull apart to see if there's any water in it. The lipos read 7.54 volts after the two runs. I'm thinking I may have to take your recommendation Egneg on a different prop, especially since I'm not running the batteries in series! LMAO!

        Diego, I forgot to give you that micro servo. If we meet up today, I'll have it for you and in any case, I'll have it on my person whenever I see you.

        Egneg, I haven't received any shipping info from Steven yet, but if it shows up, I'll keep it with me. I'm hoping it will come in today.

          Thanks Meniscus but I fear it is to windy today for a run.

            Well, I think I'm going to try and this time be more prepared for a blow-over. LOL!

              The jet's RX is dead. Water got to it and it's done.
              I had to swap out the RX. I'm OMW Meniscus.

              Oh, I reversed the steering servo this time

                Well, Diego didn't make it. Oh well, next time :)

                I had a good run with the Resurrected Renegade. I made a small adjustment to the strut and tried a different lipo. Still using the same plastic prop. It ran great but was a little loose. However, it tracked pretty well over the small ripples on the water. I'd say it was running in the low 30's, but hard to tell.

                I just can't wait to try this V935/3 that Egneg was gracious enough to sharpen and balance for me. Thanks, it looks great and very sharp too!

                  It just goes to show that the Resurrected Renegade is ready for the next new member that doesn't have a boat to run!

                    I'm thinking about a run today to try a larger prop on the No Step1. Is anyone else down?

                      I stopped by Loch Fembot earlier and it's to windy there.

                        Judging from the wind direction and yesterday's run, it should be calm behind Indian River High School. If you are interested Chuck, I can drive over there and see what it looks like.

                        I can't seem to reach Diego on the phone. I know that he wanted to try the Jet again.

                          I'm sorry. I'm currently on the phone with Meniscus
                          The pond (s) by my house usually has one flat side at all times

                            Is it flat - inquiring minds want to know!

                              There's a good joke here, but I'm not going to say it.

                              Egneg, would you be able to come out to Diego's ponds? If so, we can go over there

                                OK, I'm walking out the door. Going to Debbies and headed to wherever people say. Available by cell.
