Steve, does OSE have an actual store? I have family in Mass. and thought it would be kinda neat to swing by on my next visit.
I keep all the hulls, chargers, batteries and rtrs at my jewelry store. The store is rather large, but an odd shape which gives me a corner to keep a display and a 3000 sq foot basement for the large stuff.
The small stuff is at my workshop. Its been split like that since I started.

Steven, thanks for the mini/micro spot! You have been on a roll lately. I'm crazy about small boats as you can see by my signature. More economical and faster scale speeds. FTR, I disagree about eco being ugly. Beauty is as beauty does, and eco (economical) is crazy fast! Again, thx.

Appreciate this mini micro section Steve
This board has already surpassed other threads. This one is at 71. So it was worth it as you see. It was a good idea!
AquaCraft Q & A = 24
AquaCraft Mini Rio Q & A = 63
AquaCraft Mini Round Nose Hydroplane Q & A = 5
AquaCraft Rio EP Offshore Superboat Q & A = 58
AquaCraft Mini Wildcat Q & A = 10
ProBoat Mini-C Catamaran Q & A = 23
ProBoat Mini-V Deep Vee Q & A = 33
Thank you!
Thread to thread. Since you are in the math mood, how about post to post?

OK, I like a challenge:
Mini & Micro Posts: 1,142
All others are:
AquaCraft Q & A 540
AquaCraft Mini Rio Q & A 504
AquaCraft Mini Round Nose Hydroplane Q & A 92
AquaCraft Rio EP Offshore Superboat Q & A 977
AquaCraft Mini Wildcat Q & A 136
ProBoat Mini-C Catamaran Q & A 190
ProBoat Mini-V Deep Vee Q & A 231
If there is a problem with that, it might be that when you scale down a rigger or hydro, you quickly run out of room for components!

I like the aspect of the smaller boats. They are cheaper to build and maintain. I think the best part of them is I can run them in a few of the smaller places around.

I talked to Jim at ABC but decided I can't really carry a bunch of props. You're right though about some smaller props. I talked to him about that too. Looks like there's a large contingent of MINI followers here so wouldn't hurt for you to have them. Actually, you need 30, 32, 35 mm sizes. Most likely will need 3mm and 4mm shaft size.

Steven, I'll second that selection. Jim is spot on. But please include 34mm in both shaft sizes as well.

Jim(ABC) said he's having some issues in the way he makes with molds with the smaller props. From the sounds of it, its not going to be anytime soon.
