NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[RCKong]

Say, lets just run the schedule the HighNdry posted with the 15min gap for setup in between heats. The added time will help with battery charging any way. The schedule is perfect with the added twin drive class. I practice weekly at home and will only be able to make it up to Ackerman once a month anyway. So what ever weekend ya'll want to set as race day I'll be there.

what is going on sunday

Just an informal unscheduled get together at Ackerman. Last Sunday really sucked there so we went to Scott's and played. Scott's is good for SAW passes and running some of the smaller stuff but a little narrow for the big 1/8 scale hydro. I have a couple of props I want to try on it and wanting to thr the T-bolt with the props spinning out instead of in as well. I've a;ready started charging batts.

Everybody better stock up on batteries!

1/2 hour between heats is a long time.
we could reduce it to 15 Min. and run two rounds.

At home we use to run 8 classes, 3 rounds, (24 heats)and done by 3PM.

5 min. clock starts when the last boat is off the water from the last race.

I used to run 5 classes 3 rounds at a one day race.

Yep. For sure!

30 minutes does allow for more goofing off time though. We gotta give Jim & Mike time to get their boats ready.

I just read HighNDry's schedule again. Had to laugh! He has Hugh go from 9-10 so he can sleep in and not get there til 10! Haaar. Pretty slick Mike! I think Mike should have to get that at zero dark thirty!

What time are you planning on going?

[tiqueman]

Id like to leave here around 930/ 945. I could meet you at the shopping center by the interstate, across the stree from the Outlet mall.

February Dates are 13th and 27th. 27th conflicts with plans to go to the waveblasters! Thoughts?

[bill34207]

I'm curious as to what who will be bringing tomorrow. My main reason for going is for test running the Miller and big cat. I'll probably bring along the Genesis and maybe the little rigger since it hasn't been run yet. But unless someone else is bringing P or LSH don't plan to bother with them. I'm pretty happy with the way my P boat is running right now so it doesn't need testing.

I think Ive got my Q-offshore cat in working order now. I believe it was moisture in the esc last weekend. HPR, but I think Im only going to do a 4S run. I dont think Ill get my props modded and I dont want to risk another run w/ out propper batter and hatch hold downs. And Im bringing my twin HOTR for some 4S testing. Oh and I may bring my DF mini Sniper. Shes been lonely and neglected for a while. She only runs mid 20s (for now) but shes fun to drive... kinda like a mo-ped.

What time are we meeting?
