I entered useing rc racing events~~~~ Is that good enough or do I need to find a computer with a printer?

I am hoping there is a huge turn out for this wonderful model boat racing event.

 

[Chilli]

Since you all are splitting out all the nitro classes and not requiring them to run in the district's combined classes, why not do the same for the FE classes? Request the host club add separate classes for P-Mono, P-Limited Hydro, P- Limited Tunnel and P-Limited Sport Hydro. Sure hope there are enough B entries.

We're heading down a slippery slope!

(Not directed at you Charles)

 

[bsmtboy2]

Ray find a computer printer and print it out sign it and send the entry with funds. Chilli, we offered all classes with the hope of separating them if enough entries come in, if not we will run them as usual. No offense taken Chilli, it's all good!

Which class gets the 1/8th scale Tim L. trophy the all nitro or nitro/electric?

 

[bsmtboy2]

Nitro only scale is running for the cup trophy.

 

[John Finch]

I can play with my 1/8th scale in the back yard I guess. I do have two nitro scales that run faster than my electric. It is all good.

 

[Don Ferrette]

Nitro only scale is running for the cup trophy.

Why is that Charles?? I won the cup last year running my FE scale (and 3 times in prior years running nitro). Apparently we will need to address this issue with clubs not adhering to what was decided at the annual meeting this past winter. We agreed to separate ONLY if there was enough to run BOTH classes, not split them just because you feel like it.

 

[bsmtboy2]

This was addressed at our last club meeting to keep the cup nitro scale only. Even though a electric won we wanted to keep the original intent of nitro scales which Tim took great pride building, going forward. We meant no slight to anyone in electrics and we want them in the combined competition.

Tim was a great guy and loved scale unlimiteds but FE scale wasn't around we he passed. Knowing him as I and many others did he was about the scale boats themselves and if he was still with us not what powered it. It is what it is but we know what is really driving this, no matter as I'll miss this race this year because you guys changed the date. I hope you get a decent turn out and good weather.
