      Just about done charging packs for tomorrow but will probably be a little late getting there in the morning.
      One of my flying friends has acquired a twin turbine powered A-10 Warthog with a 10 foot wingspan. I'm meeting him at 8:30 at Rothenbach park to video tape the maiden flight for him. Should be back to Ackerman by 10:00 at the latest.

                    Today was rough as usual at Ackerman, but we got some fun runs in.

                    Heres a couple pics of an Aeromarine trying to get frisky w/ a Geico. The Geico bites hard. I "Geico" had just spun out as I entered into a turn (about 15 seconds in). Bill "Aeromarine" didnt see the me stopped and clipped me. Sounded like an explosion, but he kept running fine so I was sure to see my hull destroyed somewhere. I continued and after bringing it in found not much wrong with it. Few minutes later when we all came in, Bill noticed a lot of water coming out of his hull......

                      1/8th scale data log

                      The wind was howling at Ackerman again today. But got several runs in with the the new Proboat 1/8th. To say I am happy is an understatement. Found my water leak, added a full 1 lb of weight to the left front sponson and now have a boat with reasonably low amp draw and room for many prop changes! It handles well and should be competitive.

                        Also happy to report that the 50# trolling motor worked really well. If this suits everybody, the club owes me $50 and I've already paid my dues for this coming year. Kong made me give him $85 for it since he had to drive 40 miles to pick it up.

                        The A-10 video (not much to it) along with the stills I took of it are over in our RCG thread.
                        I enjoyed your Proboat today too Ray.

                          Bill,

                          I am sure everyone is willing to make you whole on the trolling motor. Amazing what that 10lbs xtra trust does. Give me a PayPal, and let me know how much I owe and I'll send some cash now.

                          P.S. With some prop changes, gonna be nip and tuck in 1/8th scale.

                            It's not a biggie on the motor. I can actually wait until we collect dues again if need be. (Think Jim said there was about $100 left in the kitty when we started looking for a new one). I just thought instead of draining us down for the full amount I'd deduct the upcoming $35 dues from it.

                            PS if you ask me it's already nip n tuck between the two. I'm lucky you didn't have fresh packs in yours.

                                I have the newer style ProBoat hull with rails glassed to the bottom. Here's a pic.
