      OK where was everybody at yesterday? We did manage to have a 4 boat LSH run and a 3 boat P mono. 2 boat rigger & tunnel. Didn't do Q offshore at all but that was my fault for wanting to gps the genesis. (not as fast as I thought it was but still runs decent).
      No video of the LSH or P mono runs since we all had our hands full of radio but did get some assorted solo run footage and the rigger heat. It's all up on the web page. http://www.manatee-rc.com/Flight/WF-SRQ2.html

      I just wish somebody had been shooting video of my 2nd run with the DF33. I managed to catch turn marker 6 (I think?) and caught about 6 feet of air between the boat and the water. (we're talking some hang time here) It landed prop side down so ran another couple of laps before bringing it in. All it did was kick the port side turn fin back. Tuff little boat.

      The DF 41 is going to need some dialing in.

        Seems like smaller turnout every time. I know one consistent member that says he's not running in the heat. The weather yesterday actually wasn't all that hot in my opinion.

        We DID have a Q boat run! I ran mine all by itself and it ran great!

          I was sorry to have to miss the last run at Akerman. Hoping to make it up there soon, and drag some others along with me.

                I won't be able to make Archies this month. MCRC is having it's 1st all electric fly-in Sat & Sunday and will be doing that instead.

                  Where is that field? Maybe I will go to that instead of boating!

                    There's a flyer up on my website http://www.manatee-rc.com/manatee_rc/Events.html
                    I can't remember the address (should be on the flyer) but it's close to the Buffalo Creek golf course, located back behind Virgil Mills elementary school.

                      I'll check it out. I may show up there to fly my electric ZLIN. Who knows.

                        Come on down Jim. I won't be bringing any of my high end stuff since retracts on high wing loading jets and a grass runway don't mix well. I will be bringing a few of my foamy "belly flopper" jets and my big electric Yak though. (Probably a couple of NIB kits that I've lost interest in to see if anybody might want them too)

                          The real reason I came was for this. Have any of you seen the big clearance sale that Castle is running. http://www.castlecreations.com/promo...clearance.html
                          I've already ordered a 1520 and a pair of 1717's for myself. (After contacting Dave @ HRC to be sure coolers would be available). OSE didn't list a cooler for the 1717 and is currently out of stock on the 15 series as well.
                          He told me that he has material coming and sent me a couple of shots of the 1717 cooler. Also said that he would be willing to sell our group some at a discount. So... if you have one of the Neu/Castles or order one and want a jacket for it let me know.

                            Good news on the jackets. I haven't succumbed to the castle closeout. I have a lot of motors already but damn they are a good deal!

                              Not quite sure I understand the directions on how to get there. Exist 224 and head east 26 miles? Dang that's out in the boonies. Can you give me simpler directions?

                                I went back and found the address on one of my video pages. 7315 71st Ave E. / Palmetto, FL 34221 (should be able to google or GPS it.)

                                If running I-75 take the I-275 exit to US 41. Turn south on 41, go to the 1st traffic light and turn left. It's about 2 or so miles on that road and there should be signs out the days of the event. It's a small dirt road (left side) just before you get to Virgil Mills elementary school.
