NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

Here's the pic of the lake!

Looks like a keeper.

I have worked up a proposal to the property owner. Will see what happens from there. Herb Stewart, Reed Eagle, and I along with a couple of nitro boat guys used to run there before no trespassing signs were posted. It was probably because of the noise from the nitro boats! An all electric/scale/sailing club should be the ticket. Initial conversation with representative of the property owner seemed very positive but of course anything can happen. Wish me luck!

So who do we have coming on Sunday?

I will be there for sure, and I will have a generator for power.

Jim will you have your two canopies for shade?
Is Reed going to be able to pick up the retrieve boat?

[sailr]

I will be there with the two popup canopies, a porta potty enclosure, couple of small folding tables, etc. You guys will have to unload the stuff. Thank God I have just left that stuff in my van! haha.

Reed can NOT bring the retrieve boat unfortunately. I've been talking to Herb. Don't know if he'll come or not. If so, the retrieve boat is on top of his trailer.

What else do we need? Hopefully Kent will come and bring his R/C retrieve boat! Anybody heard from him?

[RayR]

Here's the list. No retrieve boat is gonna present a problem.

Ray

[sailr]

Yep. Mike, is the little green boat of yours running?

[obrien]

Guys I have access to a gheenoe that I can bring. I just don't have any paddles or a trolling motor.

Ray the SV power in the Mean machine didn't work. The seems to be just too heavy for that size motor. If I am able to get a servo in time, will have the mean machine with the 7xl so I can play with mike and hugh with their cats.

[sailr]

Jeff, regarding the gheenoe, that is the proverbial 'up the creek without a paddle' ! Bring it. If nothing else, we can pony up and go to walmart and buy a paddle or something.

[RayR]

Oars are easy.

What kind of servo you need? I'll bring some.

A 7xl on 6S? Those guys are runnin Q.

Ray

[obrien]

7xl on 4s. It will just be for fun. I know I can't beat them, but It will be fun to run.
I was looking for something along the lines of a HS-645 or so. Doesn't have to be that strong, but close to it. I threw an SV servo in and it won't turn the boat.

[sailr]

Do gheenoes have oar sockets?

Oars are easy.

What kind of servo you need? I'll bring some.

Jeff, I have some super high torque metal gear servos I usually sell for $45. I can let you have one for $25 if you're interested. I think the torque is 182oz on 4.8V or something like that. They are 'standard' size.

[highndry]

I solved the retrieve boat problem.........dont turn over.....

I have a paddle, but no creek.

[sailr]

Hehe. You guys can NOT ... Not turn over!

Bring your paddle, I'll look for a creek.
