Are you sure this is safe, Mike? I'll throw one out and see what everyone thinks, though I do like Tyler's post. FUTABA SERVO NEEDS: A standard sized digital, water resistant, non-programmable servo of around 250 inoz (at 4.8 volts) FUTABA SERVO WANTS: The above at under $125 FUTABA SERVO...

Was that the NWRT race in Marysville? I wanted to go watch, just had too many other things going on :mad:

I think this video will kind of illustrate how much the "Trump Sham Trial" has affected the government. The Biden Administration screwed up big time and it's going to cost them big time. Don't take my word for it, just watch this: And if that doesn't say it well enough, maybe this one will:

Now you need to go study your history. Japan had invaded China and was committing all kinds of war crimes. The US, trying to get Japan to stop, stopped sending Japan scrap metals and petroleum. Japan used the US actions, as well as thinking it was their job to kick the "European Colonialists"...

While he was a Democrat, FDR wasn't really given much of a choice. When Kido Butai's airwings attacked Pearl Harbor, FDR was almost forced to respond. Then Adolph Hitler declared war on the US, the US was forced to fight a two-front war.

I just had a scary thought. Picture this, if you dare: All eleven Nimitz class carriers and all the Burke class destroyers defueled and lined up for scrapping at some overseas scrapyard The Ford, JFK and Enterprise(when launched) all renamed and flying the Chinese flag and operating Chinese...

And that is one of the reasons why we all know that the conviction will be overturned. With the judge basically on the take, there's no way it can't be overturned by either the state or federal appellate or supreme court. Another reason would be all of the rulings, from the bench, that were...

Actually, Mike, it does. It makes Donald Trump look more like a victim of the Biden/DNC mafia. We all know that the Biden DOJ had their hands on the scales of justice, making a conviction pretty much a foregone conclusion. If anything, it will hurt Biden's chances of being re-elected since...

Ain't that the truth. It's already been proven that the masks did absolutely nothing to stop the spread of Covid, yet some still feel the mask is protecting them from it. And, if the next DOJ does it's job, Joe Biden and family will be looking at multiple federal charges and jail time. So...

I would contact David Newton for a paint sheet for the year you're looking for. He has a website at https://www.newtonmarine.com/ that has plans for a majority of the boats that have been built and run since the early days, some going as far back as the 1940s. Plan set 176 covers the 1991 to...

Rich, this cut and paste comes from the NAMBA rulebook: section 27 (GAS) subsection 3 (GAS SCALE HYDROPLANE) sub-subsection c (ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS) i) G or GX Class engines from 15 to 31 cubic centimeters.

Wood over foam. The foam is used to make the shape as well as act as flotation. The foam is then covered with thin plywood to protect the foam and give a base for the paint finish. Some will also do a variation of a WOF and install wood frames to re-enforce the foam

Definitely the little Bud and, since he didn't post a shot of it without the cowl, it tells me he's trying to hide the fact it's not the 1/8th scale or, worse still, that it's got serious issues, other than tail damage and the missing wing. I might pay the asking price for the boat Mark...

Actually, just about all radios sold today are on 2.4GHz so there isn't really aircraft or surface frequencies anymore. As far as receivers go, there are surface and aircraft versions but what makes them different is something I don't know.

I know it's late but I just have to ask. Since it was only 20 minutes or so from where I worked today to the HARM, I took a camera and shot a few pictures. I ended up with some detail shots of the 1971 Karelson Budweiser and its Merlin, the 1980 Griffon Budweiser, a Griffon used in the 1980...

If you have to add that much weight, the easiest way would be to drill access holes into the sponsons. Not knowing how the internal framing is done on your boat, my guess would be to locate the hole into each sponson as close to the front as you can, drilling through the sponson insides. What I...

Chris, both decal suppliers I linked have the decal set he needs listed on their websites. I wouldn't have posted the links if they didn't. I totally agree with your "verify the cowl is available" recommendation. I would amend that, however, to include the tails and wings, if needed.

If you are in Western Washington, I'd refer you to the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum. That's where the boat is on display and maintained between vintage boat runs to take pictures yourself. If you would like to see some of the old boats running, including the 1980 Budweiser, you can see one...

Julio, the metal blocks you're referring(and pointed) to are called a 1-2-3 block. They are used, primarily anyway, in sheet metal, machining and assembly work. You can read more about and order some(if desired) from Micro Mark. Here's a link to them: https://www.micromark.com/1-2-3-Blocks

I like it. I was going to ask why you didn't paint it "Chevy Orange" until I reread your original post and saw "race engine". Since it's a "race engine", color probably doesn't matter ;)
