Take it down before they never come back.

It was okay by me Egneg. I was just worried because I heard the crickets chirping ever since you put it up there.

LOL, you changed the picture! I think you should crop the original and leave his arm!

You are right though, the wave shark was a hit! And some good driving too while snagging the boats to bring them to shore. Egneg, you forgot to remind me about that hardware I have for you. I'll try to remember next time.

Good idea but I cropped it a bit different and what hardware?

Good call! LMAO

The hardware for that mono

My new micro weighs in at 354 grams, no battery.

With battery ready to go minus prop = 444 grams

Diego, your new mini Bud has some competition

[Diegoboy]

We will have to organize our group. Will we continue to be an isolated group, or an FE division of the bigger club? We also need to get our classes defined. Your Micro, vs. my Mini? What defines sizes? My (what I call mini) is 17.5" long. These and other topics are what we should have discussed at lunch that one day. but the Drobie sale kinda got in the way

[egneg]

Organize?

That sounds kind of like FEMBOT's is turning into a real club. How about small, medium, and large classes. Although Duncanjerry may be the only one running in the large class. I think for now maybe we should be a division of the larger club as they have a much better name and we are so few at this point. If we get more folks in the area to join us with FE boats then we could spin off.

[Meniscus]

I vote we maintain FEMBOT but as a offshoot of the other club => Best of both worlds.

As far as the size classes, I think Egneg's idea is good. Small = micro and mini, I have no problem with that. Medium = hulls up to xx"s, then Large for everything above. Then I also think we should have, Fastest Electric in the group of any size. This specific award would be broken only when a certain GPS reading breaks the record and this would not be challengable and relinquished at the pond at a given day.

Just an idea:

Small = up to 17.5 inches
Medium = up to 32 inches (just a guess)
Large = everything above.

Only issue is, we need a radar gun for the riggers and the smaller stuff. I'm probably about a month or two away from purchasing one.

What do you think? FEMBOT a subset of the other club. Once there's more interest, we can continue with the club with more participation.

Receiver in Viper is cooked. Now I'm back down to one FM receiver. I'm going to go through the circuit this evening and see if I can get it working again. It's not very promising though...

[Diegoboy]

You'd think that we'd learn to balloon our electronics by now.

BTW: I'll be making a road trip to Seaford DE on May 30th. I'll be meeting with SJFE at Aeromarine. Anyone want to tag along is more than welcome. (wife has to work that morning) Please clear your schedules for this momentous event.
I'll bring my latest Aeromarine catalog for light reading on the way!

[Diegoboy]

Looks like I'll be driving solo then...

The offer is stll open though

[Meniscus]

I'm not sure if I can go or not.

After some frustrating repair without the original circuit diagram, the receiver is now working but is now intermittent. Whether it is going to work remains to be seen, but there's hope now.

[Diegoboy]

wanna fix mine too?

I will check with the boss to see if I have any plans but would like to go!

On a side note I am waiting for my wife to get home (my daughter has my car) so I can make a run to the LHS for some water tubing. I want to do some testing of the XS2 at Loch Fembot this afternoon. Hopefully I can get the pond some time between 3 and 4.

Call me Egneg.
