    Yeah, it hurt Hugh's Pride. MM was unhurt though.

        Here's a fully loaded LSH heat. Watch close around the 40 second mark as Brian “wheelies’ out of the turn and down the straight. I thought he was going over but he saved it and I’m pretty sure he took the heat. (it’s pretty easy to lose track through the viewfinder.)

          Brian and Scott with the dreaded STD class. They told me I couldn’t run with them any more unless I changed motors so I shot video. I’m reasonably sure that this was Scott’s win.

            We had a great turn out today and I think the "run schedule" is going to work out very well. Thanks once again for your video work Bill

              As always quite welcome. And a thanks to both you and Chris for this little production.
              Here’s the 1st outing on my Promise Hobby Falcon cat. The video has some subtitles so it’s fairly descriptive. I’ll just add that after the final section of the run that the hottest thing was the caps on the esc at 155*. Second were the motor and battery bullets at around 145 motor at 137.
              I think I need to add a little more positive to the strut angle or possibly move the cg back a little. I’d prefer to do it with strut adjustment though. I like my cats around the 35% mark. Overall I’m happy with it’s 1st outing.

                Nice vids, he wasn't doing a "wheelie" . He was minimizing his wetted surface drag!

                  The 2nd LSH heat for the day. I take no credit for the camera work on this one. I was playing pit man for Chris and handed the camera to a youngster who happened to be standing there. He didn’t do bad. Chris had a good run going ‘til he found that buoy. Win goes to Larry.

                    This has been a pretty mild winter here. You should make the annual migration with Larry (truckpull) and Brian (encore man) (just to rub it in)
                    While you're in here... what do you have the cg on your falcon at?

                      The second LSO heat for the day. Hugh and Scott had a pretty good race going until Hugh made it a repeat performance of round one. Only one boat finished this one. Scott’s win.

                        With all the buoy eating going on today, I saved the best one for last. Oddly enough that’s the order it was shot in as well.
                        I’m happy to report that the rudder with more setback and a wider blade cured the full throttle cornering problem with my Mean Machine twin. Unfortunately it did nothing for my driving.





                        No cats were harmed in the making of this video.

                              Just got lucky Ron. He was having problems with his steering rate being set too high. 2nd heat he got me.

                              Very welcome srislash. The buoy is still pretty much there. It's "pristine" compared to the ones Hugh & Chris hit. We are going to replace a few of them next time we go out.
