      Sunday Saw Run

      What time are you going to Oxford? We'll meet you there.

      Regarding Middletown; Jay and I both hit something that bent our turn fins. Let's hold off on M'town until we find out what and exactly where it is. It must have happened with all the rain we got, I know it wasn't there before. We will try to remove whatever it is when we find it.

                            Magic Smoke

                            Bummer about the ESC. I also was a sad recipient of the dreaded Magic smoke yesterday.

                            I was trying out the new Lipos from Pat. Everything was going great, I started with the small props and worked my way up always checking the temps and then going to the next higher prop. The boat hauld and was throwing a monster rooster tail. I was happy with the results.

                            I had one more prop to try, a 642, went out about a half a lap, the boat was flying. Then the dreaded magic smoke puffed out of the boat and I was dead in the water. Won't be using that prop again.

                            Will you be ready to run this Saturday? Let me know.

                              No im still waiting for another red Formula hull....I wont even get into that storey untill i see you LOL . Sat and Sun i think i will make 1 run very early in the morning. I only have 1 shot at breaking 100mph each morning because i only have 1 pair of batteries. I put alot of work into the yellow boat and i need to post 100mph or better. This is a expensive game with myself but i know i can do it. So no sense in meeting up without my Red boat. Hopefully next Sun.???
