Hi Jeff, Vova and his Dad run at MMM here in Toronto. MMM is an independent club which races under a mix of IMPBA and Namba rules and as you know has a large scale and sail membership with their own insurance. I believe that Vova's comments spilled over from our club Forum which has been...

Hi Al, You are correct, my mistake...I did receive my propwash yesterday and Neil and I will be returning our ballots via Fax. Looking forward to meeting you in Michigan. Thanks for the words of encouragement and you are right regarding Terry and Doug (whom I will meet for the first time at...

has anyone received the newsletter via e-mail? When I hoined last year,and renewed this year I had indicated that I would like to receive the newsletter electronically. To date I have not received one... I wish to vote on these proposals and do not want to miss out. My son Neil and I share...

What is the intent to have length requirements at all? Anyone who has run these things knows that a 24" hull in P Sport is a gamble at best (better be flat water). Shorter than 24" even in O is a gamble. A 28" hull in Q-S is also a challenge. Similarly, nobody is going to run a 28" hull in O...

Thats awesome Dick. I am sure it will be very popular hull and hardware combination. I can attest to its spped when set-up right as it was blazing fast...as I recall I chased it a lot <_< Now I really have to my homework! Congrats to Ray and yourself for bringing a proven winning design to...

Nice stuff Dick...Looks trimmed down from the regular hardware. Looks like a winner package...****...I better get back into the shop :) Steve PS New Q rigger on the boards...now to find the time to build it!

We have had considerable debate on this issue on our club forum (Metro Marine Modellers) over the past few years. This winter as well we have discussed the N1 proposed rule change. I have run 05 motors for 15 years now and have found the most difficult class of boats to achieve any kind of...

Yup. The very same. Steve

Indeed it is Doug. I was fortunate enough to be at the last Northern Lights MBC meeting last Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised to have received a very warm welcome. I was even asked to speak about FE and a proposal was tabled and passed which included for two classes to be determined to be...

Thanks Paul, Sweet pics. Gives me some ideas and those really help. Between the detail posted by Phil and your shots I think I can finish the wing (in fact I started tonight with the installation). To answer your earlier question I am doing the 86 Bud...slighty different paint than the 87 that...

Thanks Phil, That's exactly what I was looking for. I am going to heed your advice when it comes to the support bracket and extend it to the hull bottom and glass it in place. I hope to get strated on it this weekend. Steve

Phil, Thanks for the pic of the wing set-up. Q: I see the nylon fastener at the front "pivot" point, how is the rear fastener configurred to allow for moving the rear of the wing up and down to adjust lift? Thanks for the replies. We look to our more experienced brothers for help in setting...

Mine is coming along OK. I am stuck on the wing mounting thing and the wing pivot/securement method to use. I have been staring at the boat for a week now thinking about how to do it. For the wing uprights I was looking at the ones used by Don Ferrette on his Smokin Joe's in the picture gallery...

Larry, www.grimracer.com Lots of goodies we can use. Steve

Sounds like Kelly Brooks boat. I don't know what prop he was running on it, but it will depend upon what you are setting it up for. 5 lap oval or 4 minute offshore....assuming you are going to race it. I would start with an X432, and check the temperature of the motor, batts, and esc with a...

Hi Vova I know a 19T is not a true stock 27T single ROAR motor...it was just a comparative comment in the context of low turn wind hand wound modifieds and the two "spec" motors. :) I look forward to seeing you at the pond Sunday. Steve

Derek is right as well...the motor wire guage looks like 14 guage. I would recommend 12 guage wire for stock motors as well (in fact I use Deans Wet Noodle for every set-up I have). They have a limited power to begin with, loading up the motor will draw a lot of amps even for a stocker (and I...

Vova, If you want bring your boat over to my pit on Sunday...I will have a look at it. Kelly is right. If the motor leads are melting off you are drawing to many amps for the set-up. Brush cooling is a good idea, however, you should not need it to get past one or two laps...I will bring my...

Anyone have any news from Batavia? I'm not looking for full blown race coverage...just some tidbits. Steve

Hi Tom, Yes but is in hibernation until my son (Neil) gets back from university in three weeks. He is the webmaster...Thanx for remembering. Steve
