NOTHING. Boat is destroyed. Hit a "the" log to the left at the pond, nothing i could do. GPS was at 75 when she finally got on plane. She was headed for mid 80s again for sure. Im SICK.

[slyman]

That Sucks

Just when you get a boat that you know will work well for you.
Does anybody make a titanium hull maybe

[Gary]

Cant get another hull so i am patching it back up. OHWELL. Hopefully will see the pond this weekend.

Humpty Dumpty

Its no fun trying to put all those pieces back together again but ya do what ya gotta do.

I'll be away for a week. We can't hit the water until some parts to come in. Hopefull they will be in today or Thrusday before I leave.

If the weather holds out we will try our stuff out in Wallingford after work, Ill give you a call if its a go.

Did you look into the West Marine resin system I told you about?

[Gary]

Wheres my ct boys. Im ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know

[slyman]

Were here

Just got back from Vacation this weekend. Jay got a 180 amp ESC and a 2700 KV motor for the UL. The thing kept melting the solder off the Deans connectors so he switched to 4mm bullet connectors that we had on hand that also melted the solder.

We might be in the market for some batteries at this time. We should talk.

Did you get Humpty Dumpty together again or did you get a new Hull?

How does Saturday sound if the weather holds? Wallingford or Oxford?

[Gary]

Oh man i have to work this sat. Let me figure a time out thats good for all. Man the UL will fly with a 2,700 kv . BTW...........take a look in the video section and look under Miss attitude 80 mph run.Humpty Dumpty lives!!!!!!!!!

Humpty Dumpty

Nice job.
Are you ready for the VOODOO Prop? Maybe you'll break a 100.

[Gary]

Have both boats done. Shooting for this Saturday at Beacon Falls if weather is good.

[slyman]

Saturday-maybe

Jay and I had a serious collisions with each other last week. We're both rebuilding our sponsons. I don't know if we'll be ready by Saturday but may we can come and see those babies run. I'll call you later this if the weather cooperates.

[Gary]

oh no..what happened. Did they take on water?

[slyman]

The crash

We were on a new lake that was at least 4 times larger than where we usually go. We were about 100 feet from each other, I began to turn and Jay cut the corner and T-Boned me. My cowl is slightly damaged and there are a bunch of stress fractures on the sponsons. Jay has severe damage to one of his sponsons, the glue let go in the front of the sponsons where the top and bottom half meet.

I took in water because my cowl was damaged. Have not checked to see if the boat is working electricly yet.

Weekend

jGary,

How's it looking for this weekend, let me know.

[Gary]

Hey bud....well it was looking good. I orderd a new prop that could put me near 100mph . All my stuff came , and when i went to test everything before i packed it up,my servo was not responing correctly. Then the reciever died. Found out the rechargable batteries that i use the connections rusted and must have shorted out so now i have to order a reciever and another battery pack. I might rigg up some used back up stuff only because i really want to see if the prop works but that coud be a recipe for disaster because there will be no failself so probably next week on a sunday i can do, i have work saturday.

[slyman]

Keep me posted

Let me know if its a go for next weekend, any word on those batteries you were talking about?
