Looks good! At least it shouldn't be FREEEEEZIN this time! ;-)

I sure hope not Jim. The one in February made for a miserable day with the temps and wind we had.

Got the website updated and the pdf linked in. http://www.wfmbc.com/WFMBC/Events.html

I have to say I'm enjoying these cooler mornings. The temp in my van showed 65 degrees this morning when I got in it to head for work.
I just hope that the front doesn't mess us up for Sunday. The wind prediction site doesn't show Sunday yet but is already giving me second thoughts about going to Wattfest on Saturday. http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/laun...=KSRQ&state=FL
I thought I'd go up there and pass out some flyers for our swap meet and maybe fly some but not real crazy about the idea of paying $25.00 to sit around and watch the wind blow.

hey bill our old buddy in china is making a new small hydro...it would make a cool class to run some sort of spec class.....http://www.ebay.com/itm/27-shovel-no...item20aebaf166

Bill hates hydros Ron...just sayin. Anyway I'm itchin to to run some boats this weekend for sure, and cooler weather well I'm all for that.

[bill34207]

Lol I remember making that statement. Sunday is actually looking pretty good when compared to Sat. Less wind speed and more from the north than the east so it should blow any disabled boats back to shore instead of the trees.
I'm ready but may be coming a little light, just depends on how many packs I can get charged after getting back from Wattfest tomorrow.

Yeah hopefully the wind settles down. Lookin like it may be bumpy

Also, dont forget gentleman, we still have a handful of memberes who are past due on their memberships. You know who you are, pay up!

I'm pretty sure Ray won't be there tomorrow. He's supposed to be getting a new grand child this weekend. Congratulations again Ray.

I'm mostly going to shoot for bringing the bigger "rough water" stuff myself. The Falcon cat since it's been a while, Sprintcat and P mono. (Still subject to change depending on how many packs I can get charged).

[tiqueman]

Awesome Ray, congrats grandpa!

Ron
27" is perfect for N2 Sport Hydro, seeing that 27" is the max length for N2 Sport Hydro.

It is nice to see that a company is making a boat to fit this class. The other ones we had were 24" long.

I have got my N2 Sport ready to run, Anybody else want to join in??

Ron, I have one of these hulls if you want it. I'd take $60 + shipping.

Ron
I run a 1515 -0.5Y -4400KV
2S2P
ESC - 200 AMP+

Any motor with 4000 to 4500 KV would be OK
Too high on the KV and the prop gets too small.

There is a 1515 -4100KV in the For Sale section.

Hey guys, I don't know if any of you are running tunnels any more, but there is an all tunnel boat race next weekend at the Dover pond if anyone is interested. It is in honor of Herb Stewart, who many of us knew. So far there are 6 spec tunnels signed up. There will also be a p-tunnel and a combined P/q tunnel class. So you could enter in 3 classes and get a lot of run time next weekend. It will be a smaller event, I think 21 guys are signed up so far.
