Hey guys, sorry Ive been so quiet. Mom hadnt been doing well but is finally on the road towards recovery. Ive also had a lot of work going on and am in the process of launching my own buisness, getting my LLC, Incorporated etc, so yeah, its been a bit crazy. But, I actually got a chance to work on some boat stuff last evening for the first time in 6 weeks. I forgot what I had..... and what I was doing. Cant wait to come have some fun again. Hopefully all the demons are off the lake now since Bills equipment has kept them occupied.

**bill34207** · 04-01-2011, 11:25 AM

There were still some demons there this past Sunday Scott. Ray, Hugh and I all felt their wrath before the end of the day. I think they are waiting for you to make them a sacrifice.

**sailr** · 04-01-2011, 01:23 PM

Scott. So glad to hear your Mom's doing better and congrats on the new business. Wish you the best of luck. Hope to see you soon.

If I am there, I now have NAMBA membership application forms with me. Even if you don't join our club, it's a good idea to join NAMBA because they give you excellent insurance any time, any place you are running your boats so long as you are operating within the safety rules.

Are you guys pretty serious or more of a bashing type club? I stopped by a group last place I lived and they were all gas guys and all gave me dirty looks when I ran my stock Proboat around. I'm just lookin for a place to run, maybe some company to run with.

I'm getting closer to having the 1/8 scale ready to maiden. The thing scares me to death. Not sure exactly what it weighs but has to be at least 20 lbs loaded. Fired up the 5692 on 8S and jeeeez, that that thing's a beast! May have to add weight to the nose. Batts have to go in the back and best I can balance is about 2.5" behind the sponsons. We shall see!!

With luck I'll have the 1/10th scale modern there to test also.

Thank you Jim. Its certainly been a challenging '11 so far.

**osprey21** · 04-02-2011, 05:43 AM

Hey Scott - good to hear things are turning in your favor.

**ron1950** · 04-03-2011, 07:28 PM

**sailr** · 04-03-2011, 07:54 PM

I went over there and left a post. Problem is just ONE class...open...doesn't make it worth sitting around all weekend and the 24th is our heat races at Akerman. Thanks for the heads up though.

**ron1950** · 04-03-2011, 08:06 PM

**obrien** · 04-03-2011, 09:49 PM

The race those guys are talking about is the WCRA race next weekend. The 2 day race on the 23 and 24 doesn't have any openings for electric. not yet anyway.

**sailr** · 04-05-2011, 09:47 AM

FINALLY finishing up my 1/10 Scale Modern for the FE NATS. If I can make it this weekend I'll bring it. Here's some pics.

**bill34207** · 04-05-2011, 10:02 AM

Looking good Jim. Hoping we'll have some nice weather this weekend for test n tune. I just finished a Sprintcat for Q that needs some testing.

**tiqueman** · 04-05-2011, 10:05 AM

Very nice indeed Jim.

I hope the weather is nice. I need to get my FE fix, its been waaay too long.

**hebner** · 04-05-2011, 10:18 AM

Nice looking boat Jim, I probably can't make it this Sunday.

**sailr** · 04-05-2011, 10:23 AM

Thanks Guys. Not positive I can make it either but gonna try.

**sailr** · 04-05-2011, 10:24 AM

There is some good news to report! The lady from Sarasota County called me a couple of days ago to inform me they were drawing up the plans for the steps at Akerman (railroad ties) so they should have them installed soon! WOW! You better alter your opinions of government employees! She's really excited to have us there. Refreshing to say the least!

When its done, would you like it mailed or just pick it up in two weeks at Ackerman? Or is anyone going to be there thats close to your home 20?

That is great news!

**hebner** · 04-05-2011, 10:34 AM

Will do

**hebner** · 04-05-2011, 10:37 AM

Scott, any idea on paint that would be a close match?

**tiqueman** · 04-05-2011, 10:42 AM

well, I found that Pactra RC5407 Flour. Yellow is a pretty darn close match. I touched up a chip on mine and after several coats it matches pretty well. Others have said though that it doesnt match thiers at all, so Im assuming, they are not all the same flourescent or neon yellow.

**bill34207** · 04-05-2011, 10:44 AM

Good news on the steps Jim. Hopefully they will happen soon.
Good to hear that you are jonesing for a FE fix too Scott. It would be nice to have a good turnout for the TnT day.
Hmmm maybe we should call it a T&A day and EVERYBODY would show up.
