I know the Swap is coming up. But If anyone has any props like a x642 or x445 or cnc aluminum 4 or 6 pitch 42, 43, 45mm 3/16 props i need em.

[RCKong]

Larry has a bunch of props for sale.

I'm coming light but coming heavy at the same time. Only going to bring a couple of boats for some prop testing. Thinking the Falcon cat and Mean Machine.

I do have a single detongued X642 that was on my little hydro. I'll throw it in my box and bring it along tomorrow.

What time do we want to be there?

[megalops]

Ok - i am going to try to get there around 9 or 9 .30am. Its right at 61 miles from here.

[bill34207]

9:00 to 9:30 sounds good to me. The way the forecast has lightened it up for early morning think I'll sneak down to SRQ around 7:30 or 8:00 and get in a quick flight on the F-35. It's been built for a while now and still hasn't had any air time yet.

[tiqueman]

Unfortunately I don't think ill make it tomorrow.

[megalops]

Ok I'll be heading south around 8a. If for any reason the plans have changed plz LMK. I dont want to drive there and find out im the only person there.

[RayR]

You won't be alone. Though we will both be out of luck if the retrieve boat and battery don't show. No worries, Bill and Chris will be there.

[megalops]

Thanks Ray - see you there.

[osprey21]

I'll be leaving shortly as I have a couple of stops to make on the way - see y'all there.

[osprey21]

It was a nice day at the pond, hope next Sunday (fingers crossed) is just as nice.

[megalops]

Yep good day! Thanks everyone..

[bill34207]

I had a good day too. No major damage to anything (scuffed a wingtip on my F-35 when one of the retracts folded during the taxi back) and didn't even need the recovery boat for anything I brought.
Is a 15 second lap time on our track respectable with a big cat?

I think 15 is good. I believe we run about 22 second laps in lso

[megalops]

Yes I think so. I timed a couple of the smaller boat lap times at the last meet and they returned some 21 sec. laps. I cannot remember the class. Then on another occasion I timed another race (again alzheimers on the class) and they were running in the low 19 secs.

Bill did you shoot some video of my first run today? If so are you going to upload them?
