[obrien]

hugh how is that tunnel running?

[bill34207]

Hey Jeff. Good to see you're still around. You should drop by and run sometime.

Hugh it's looking like a good day to leave OPC at home for Sunday. Should be good conditions for seeing how (if) the Titan will handle in some chop though.

Hey Ron. I see you've already signed up for cracker. No OPC? What's up with that.

[ron1950]

bill the site was not set up right and only accepted the cracker entry and money was wrong so it entered me in one class for 20 dollars....now they are fixing it sence the money was right for 3 classes...they say its fixed now.....just not for my entry till later in weekend when bill briton can fix it.....so why havent u guys entered yet?

[bill34207]

I've mostly been holding off to see an accurate schedule for the heats. For what they are having, everything I have to run would be somewhere in a P class and don't have enough 4s packs to run 3 classes back to back for 3 heats each. Have to factor some charge time in there somewhere. I still need to get some testing on the Titan P mono to see if it's going to be viable as an entry as well.

[osprey21]

I hope the retrieve battery has a FULL charge on it, cuz if a boat goes over on the back stretch, it's gonna be off to the races to catch it.

[RCKong]

This wind is ridiculous...

[osprey21]

Yeah it is - already the second week of April and I'm still waiting for the "goes out like a lamb" part of March....

[bill34207]

I know the feeling on wondering what all the wind is about. Haven't even beeen able to go fly on the off weekends when we're not running. I had prepped 6 boats but stopped charging packs after a couple rounds worth for Q and P and one set for the Falcon cat. The rescue boat battery has a good charge on it as well. It's not going to be a small boat kind of day tomorrow for sure but I really need to run the Titan and see if the changes made got rid of the chine walk issue. Plus I hate pulling down packs at home even with the speedy discharge device.
As a thought, we might consider running a short course tomorrow and use our center marker bouy for a turn point instead of running down to the west end where the trees are. We'll have a better chance of recovery before they are blown into the trees that way if something does go wrong.

[megalops]

Man this weather reminds me of my Kingfishing days. It was usually perfect during the week and then around thursday/friday the fronts would push thru just in time to leave winds blowing from 18 to 25 knots and 6 to 8 foots seas. Made for a rough weekend fishing offshore. Looking at the forecast wednesday or thursday next week will be perfect. Figures. I plan on doing some test n tune if at all possible.

[osprey21]

I've been holding off asking about the gate lock as it's a "hot button" issue, but what's the latest....?

[tiqueman]

No response now from anyone about the lock. I left 2 messages on a direct line. I think I still have Mikes number, hopefully he can unlock it for us again.
