IMPBA D12 RACE #1, April 26-28 Hosted by the Baltimore Model Boat Club

[Chilli]

The Baltimore Model Boaters will be hosting the first race of the D12 season on April 26th-28th at Greenbrier State Park in Hagerstown, Md. There is a minor error in the flyer. B/P-Lim Mono should be B/P Mono. Also I asked Charles if we could let P-Lim Sport Hydro's run with the Sport 20's. I'll let you all know as soon as I get word from him. It's been a long tenacious winter and I'm looking forward to seeing all my friends and running some boats!!

[Chilli]

Okay Folks, The Baltimore club loves scale boats and Charles says bring the P-Lim Sport Hydros. We will either run by ourselves or combined up with the Nitro Sport 20's depending on # of entries. WW29 is already talking smack. He thinks he can take my Insane FE30 with his UL1 RTR. It should be fun!!

Remember to review the District Rules on the Capitol Club web site in my signature.

[HOTWATER]

Are you gonna run in the regular B/P lim. Hydro as well as the B/P lim. sport hydro?

[Chilli]

John will run B/P-Lim Hydro and Tunnel as he has been the last two years. I may let him do P-Lim Sport Hydro also (he hates monos). LOL

I will do Gas Rigger, Open Offshore, B/P-Lim Tunnel and B/P Mono. If the gas rigger is not ready or not enough entries I'll run Gas Mono.

Thats my plan and I may or may not stick to it.

Whatcha running?

[HOTWATER]

Cool...i'll probably run my tugboat, my battleship and more than likely my steam powered paddlewheeler...what class does the paddlewheeler fall in?

[Chilli]

Depends if it's a stern wheeler or side wheeler...

[HOTWATER]

[carlcisneros]

I'll be running B/P mono and Open Nitro/FE mono is all.

[HOTWATER]

[bsmtboy2]

Got it ken, and yes we will run the p lim hydro(rigger) class and the p/b sport hydro.

[Chilli]

The HS805BB I ordered for the gas rigger is too big for the servo bracket. Just ordering a 755MG. Hopefully it will be here by the end of the week. If not, Friday open water may be the first time this boat see's the water.

[HOTWATER]

Thanks Charles...I will be running in the B/P-Lim. Hydro (Rigger) class, just to clear that up for you....sorry 'bout that.

-Kent

[Chilli]

One more week to go!! If you've been procrastinating, get those entries in the mail tomorrow!!

Gas rigger finally ready to hit the water. Installed the new servo last night and recieved a new 2100 mah LiFe reciever pack today. I'll try to get it in water at trials this weekend if there is any free time.

[Chilli]

You ready to rock Kent??

[HOTWATER]

Yes Sir!

[Doug Smock]

Good luck this weekend fellas!

[HOTWATER]

Thanks Doc!

[Chilli]

Thanks Doug.

Yes Sir!

I'm not. LOL I been busy converting the boats back to heat racing trim. Had to do some motor swaps and change bullets on a bunch of packs. Also pulled the Zen apart to see if I can figure out what's wrong with it. Mr. Finch is going to lend me a motor for the race. Also had to replace the rudder on the P-mono and awaiting a replacement servo for it.

I'll be ready by Saturday but need will need a break from boating after this weekend.

BTW- Dick and Carol wont make it this weekend. They wanted to but Dick's knee is acting up so he wants to rest it. You have to walk down a hill to launch boats at Greenbrier and he didnt want to risk hurting it further.

[HOTWATER]

I have a couple new in package Futaba servos with plenty of power....no worries if yours does not come in....

one is a S3050 - 90.3oz.in. @ 6v - Size 1.57x0.79x1.50 in. (I use for my tunnel)

the other is a S3016 - 58.3oz.in. @ 6v - Size 1.22x0.63x1.21 in. (P-Mono)
