Yeah, it's a good bunch of guys. And an AWESOME location !!

DOH !! I knew the day I didn't make it out to the lake there'd be good turnout !!! A week from Saturday guys.....let's do it again !!!! Jim...would you eat a sandwich or something ?? you're getting to **** skinny !! Bruce

Brent, I built a little Raskal based on what these guys recommended...it worked out very, very well.

Okay, now that I've opend the can of worms regarding forming a new club, how do you guys enforce non-compliant usage of the club facilities..ie, folks who don't want to join the club but will show up during the middle of the week, unsupervised and run while no one is around, thus making all...

Perry, Thanks for the reply, in hindsight I went back and edited my original post...I didn't want to come across as putting down Brandon as a club. It was simply just a few giving the whole a bad impression in one particular instance. What you describe is pretty much what I'm looking for at...

Thanks for the offer of support Don, maybe at some point we can have an "open house" of sorts and you folks can come check out what we're doing...I'm sure there is a conditional statement in the insurance for something like that. Pretty much it's in agreement in this club that the short term...

Ahhh...okay, that kind of fits in with some of the replies I recieved. I still don't get why some folks would rather put there boats in the bathtub and make motor noises rather than just be a little flexible and have a great place to run..... :huh: :huh:

I have a question for you guys. I'm a relative newbie & I've found myself getting involved in a new club that has recently formed in the area. I've been involved with many RC aircraft clubs over the years and have been an officer in pretty much all capacities so I know all to well about the...

Hey guys, who sells OPS parts these days ?? I broke a water intake nipple off of a 7.5CC inboard head. I was able to drill it out, put a tap in it and gently remove it, but I'm not sure if I should try and make a replacement or purchase one (if it's even available) Bruce

I don't know the exact speed, but like I said earlier, it runs circles around a modded out Proboat Miss Budweiser, which is SUPPOSED to go around 30-35. I definitly think it's the strut issue, I wound up using Octura parts and had no problem. I did put triangle stock around the perimeter of the...

Bruce Hartmann (pa_28r_200) ; Tampa, Florida I'm 37 years old, and single. Been dating a girl who's not insane for about a year and a half, so that may change soon. I work as a Systems Engineer for a medical technology company (www.iliant.com). I'm a licensed pilot, working on my instrument...

I bent it about 30 degrees about 10mm down from the sponson, it had a tendancy to "hop" more in the straightwaways, and would hook and spin out if I overcontrolled in the turn, as it looked like the sponson was digging. I bent it back & relaxed the angle by about 75% and will try it again during...

Autobailers ROCK.....but the LHS only gets 6 bucks for it.....

Hey Guys, I ran it yesterday, and I must say, I am very pleased with the minimal amount of tweaking I had to do (played with props and jacked the strut all the way up). I had shortened the pipe previous to running it. All I can say for speed is that it absolutely SMOKED my buddy's 1:12 Bud Boat...

hmmm..good info...man you guys are awesome. Okay, I'll cut it off before I try to run it. Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. If you ever need any computer advice ...lemme know .. (I specialize in AIX and Networks) Bruce Hartmann Systems Engineer iLIANT Corporation...

Yeah....that's the airplane experience kicking in....I've always flown a new engine with a long header and started whacking after a couple rich tanks....the lake is behind my house so the distance between me and the Dremel is only about fifty yards...... :rolleyes: That was gonna be my next...

Okay guys...I finished it. Considering all I've been building is airplanes for 15 years, It doesn't look too bad. The paint colors where leftovers....btw..also. I had to put the Octura sticker on the front...had little oops in the paint, If I hadn't have put all the "powered by Microsoft"...

Man that is sweet.....hey question for you guys..I thought it was already mentioned but in scanning backwards I didn't see it...in relation to the rear sponsons...where should I set the preliminary height of the strut ?? Pretty much all I've got left to do is mount everything, strip it down...

Yeah..actually I did. But after fitting the engine with the header on it, I think I am going to be able to successfully utilize an aircraft type tuned pipe mount. Thanks... Bruce

Hey guys....got the Octura hardware. Question..when you insert the teflon liner for the flex shaft into the stuffing box, are you supposed to put any kind of adhesive on it ?? Also...who sells this nifty tuned pipe mounts that I've seen illustrated in previous posts... Bruce
