There has been a question that if the "Size Matters Hydro Challenge" was being offered with the blessing of Stu Barr........

Before I even mentioned it on IW I talked to Stu and he gave his blessing to this endeavor.....

Both Stu and myself are very interested in promoting Nitro R/C boat racing and get people building again and not just buying......

When the JAE effort was launched,the .12size [A-hydro} seemed the logical place to start for several reasons....

1.There just has to be about a zillion .12 motors out there not being used because the cars they were in were rendered obsolete.

2.The boats had to be inexpensive and simple to build and set-up to encourage new R/C boaters to download the free plans or take a $49.00 flyer [Zippkits] and try to join the hobby.

3.The boats had to be affordable and easy to run.It was imperative that the boat didn't need a big wallet and 20 years of nitro hydro experience to be competitive.

I believe the JAE team and Zippkits by in large have accomplished these goals......In fact the JAE affordable simple design has progressed beyond our wildest dreams.

We have had feedback from several veteran racers telling us how much fun these boats will dispense ......4OZ. of fuel at a time.[Mike Schindler,Bob Morton,Bob Bonahoom,David Preusse,David Hall and Ron Zaker just to name a few.]

What is even more satisfying the little .12 boats will flat run some very respectable speeds on some pretty nasty water.

The Hobart Hydro Masters "Size Matters Challenge" is just an extension of this effort to encourage affordable R/C boat building and racing and

try to help make the Hobart Hydro Masters the premier event that it is.

The Perpetual trophy for the "Size Matters" Challenge is finished and will have the names of the challenge winners [and biggest losers ] engraved on it for all to see.The trophy is 14" X14" X 13" high.

The trophy was built by Mike Crawford of Woodstuff tunnels and I am here to tell you it is a very nice piece.Kudos to Mike.He out did himself in this effort.

The trophy will remain and be displayed in Hobart with the boat given the city .The challenge winners will be given individual plaques and the winners [and losers ] and the prize chest continues to grow.

There is no entry cost for this challenge,just sign up prior to start of the competition.

We will see you in Hobart.
