Good news is the grass has been mowedBad news is I've already found 3 active fire ant nests Hope Jim brings the ant bait

Weather wasn't bad at all with the light wind. Typical day for me. 3 out of 4 boats had problems! ESC's mostly. Jeeeeez. Not sure I'm gonna be ready for Riverview next weekend now!

jim u still holding that airtronics radio over your head and hopeing your boats will come back again? lol sorry for your luck dude.....hope u can get em running this week...

[sailr]

I've been flying r/c for over 50 years. The holding the transmitter up thingie is just a reflex action. I still don't think it's the radios.

[sailr]

BTW, both of the bad news esc's were Castles! No more of them for me. I'm finished with them.

I went ahead and signed up for P spec hydro this morning "just in case". There's a 3 boat minimum to make a class and wanted to be sure it would get run if Jim decides to scratch due to technical difficulties. My UL-1 isn't really competitive with the stealths & whips but will make some filler.
My P mono batteries I can use in open mono and save having to re-charge a set if we don't have enough to make that class. There's only 3 in it right now.

Nice. hopefully Jim can get his boat issues worked out before we show up to race.

Good for you Bill. I'm really hoping our guys will show up to represent FE! We need the recognition of FE by the rest of the r/c boating world. This breakthrough has been a long time coming! Regardless if you think your boat is fast enough...speed isn't everything! I've seen the slowest boat be the only one to finish many times and get first place! Charge them batts and be there! IF FE is well enough represented, we will have 4 WCRA races a year right here in our own backyard! Be the first to win your class as the total pints winner at the end of the year!

my tunnel was the only boat without issues last sunday! I detongued the 447/3 on my p mono and put in a
Swordfish 200. Ordered 3 more SF 200's. They came today. Put a new motor in my whip and will add a Swordfish. Spec rigger may get a new esc as well but not sure. Obviously I have no time to test/tune/adjust anything but I'll be there!

I'm working on it. I sliced and diced my hand in an airplane propeller this morning. A little hard to work on boats but I'll tough through it.

Nice. hopefully Jim can get his boat issues worked out before we show up to race.

[ron1950]

[obrien]

I will be there with my spec tunnel. Too bad there isn't a rigger class I can run in.

[osprey21]

If we need a pitman for each racer, we're gonna be screwed when it comes to P Spec Hydro...

There will be plenty of people there that will help. The nitro and gas guys will be happy to help.

[RCKong]

Lawson and Rich are supposed to go, and they will help too.
