1/8th Scale Electric

[THREEPOINTER]

I LEFT RC BOATING BACK IN ABOUT 1983, AND WENT TO RC AIRPANES. OF COURSE MY FIRST LOVE WAS, AND PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL BE BOATS.

I BECAME FAIRLY CLOSE FRIENDS WITH HENRY LAUTERBACH AND HIS SON LARRY IN 1954. LAST YEAR I ATTENDED THE 79th HAMPTON CUP REGATTA, AND MY ENTHUSIASM IN INBOARD HYDROS WAS REKINDLED.

I'VE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH ELECTRIC AIRPLANES, MEDIUM TO LARGE SCALE, AND CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL THERE FOR BOATS.

I'M WITH YOU RANDY..........LETS GET THE ELECTRICS OUT THER IN FORCE!

Thanks Threepointer.

The way the hobby has been losing interest, we may need to take some drastic measures to bring things back.

Gas ... nitro ... electric ... does it REALLY matter what the power source is? Let them race together in an ''OPEN'' class.
