2012 Roger Newton Memorial R/C Hydroplane Show

[Hydro Junkie]

Here are some of the pictures I shot yesterday at the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum. I included some shots of the U-787, 77 and 82 Atlas boats as well as some of the 1958 Bardahl that is undergoing structural rework as well. If anyone else that was there wants to add pictures, feel free

And, last but not least, the 1958 Miss Bardahl and U-787. I would have liked to have gotten more of the Bardahl but there was too much going on around it :mellow:

Thanks for the Pics HJ!! Can you do us a favor, and generically label the first (3) groupings ... Are some 1/7th scale Electric, some 1/6.66 Gas, and others 1/8 th Nitro. I think I can tell, but it might help others get motivated to build in other classes if they could see some of the hulls already built, and ready to race!!!

Thanks Again for your efforts,

DJ

Let me see, what are they?

Post 1 has the already IDed gas U-95, not sure on the Bud, the rest are 1/10th electrics

Post 2's last three shots are all 1/7th scale electrics, not sure on the power of the rest but I believe them to be either 1/8th or 1/7th scale

Post 3 is, as far as I know, all 1/7th scale electrics except the twin bare frames, not sure on their power, just know they are going to be Bardahls

Sorry I can't be more helpful, maybe Marty can fill in some of the blanks on if some are gas scales or not
