I’m new to R/C boating and the UL-1 has gotten me hooked. Being an experienced electric Heli and EDF jet pilot I thought RC boats were boring. The UL-1 has definitely changed my opinion on that.
As such, I joined both NAMBA and IMPBA hoping to race this season. I also joined 2 R/C boat clubs in my area hoping to jump into fast electric racing via the club circuit.
The club furthest from me (2hrs) is a NAMBA club and is a Fast Electric club. The other club, is an IMPBA club, and is 1 hour from my home. The IMPBA club is mostly nitros with a few gassers mixed in. I’m hoping to convince of few of their members into getting a UL-1 so we have enough to make a class for racing.
I checked both NAMBA and IMPBA’s website for upcoming races in District 4 and was disappointed to find very few Fast Electric races on the schedule in my district, and the few that were listed were 7+ hours from me
What gives? There are a ton of nitro/gas races on the schedule, but no FE classes listed. Needless to say I’m bummed.
