I think this Thunder Tiger (?) cat belongs to another Bill that's one of the new members in our group. (Help me out here Scott)

Yes its a pro boat thunder cat. Leopard motor, I forget what kv. And spinning a tfl 445 aluminum 2 blade.

This is Scott's new Cheetah twin along with a Cheetah single he built for Josh? The way our group is growing it's getting hard hard for me to keep track any more.

Somewhere either before or after this one we did have a 4 boat P mono heat but it didn't get taped. I had a last place start and first place finsh, so just had to mention it

I got the "Genesis on the rocks" feeling at the 2:22 mark.

I didn't even notice that. I'll have to go back and watch it again.

The Futaba receiver finally quit in my Falcon Cat today. It would still operate the rudder servo but the esc would not arm. I had a spare Tactic rx in my box so bound it to one of my Tactic radios and let the Falcon show it's still "King of the pond" in rough choppy water.

I kind of wonder if the rx had been messing with the esc for a while now. I had propped down to a X457/3 and it looked faster than the 460/3 did. I didn't have the GPS in the boat though so we'll never know.

Wind was definitely worse today at Ackerman than it was at Watt Fest yesterday. It was all I could do to hold position with the quad today and a couple of times thought I had lost it.

If you listen around the 1:15 mark you can hear the motors spinning up as I was pitching forward and applying more throttle into it to keep it from blowing down to the roofing company's parking lot.
In the meanwhile I did at least get a little boat footage. Got a nice close up of the park bench I almost put it into trying to get back on the ground too.

Glad to have helped supply a temprorary "fix" for the withdrawal symptoms. Sounds like you might need to migrate south in the winter like Truckpull and Encore Man do.

Using my 41" Promise Hobby Falcon cat to test one of the Toro Beast motors. It's a 910 KV Y wind so ran it on 8s 2p with a X460 2 blade prop that has been de-tongued and back cut.
Seems to have worked out pretty well.

The maiden voyage of Ray's 40" AC Blast Cat. Powered by a Proteus motor set as a D wind for 1400 (and change) kv to run on 6s 2p for Q offshore.
