[Stephen Mason]

Hey, Hey, Hey!:wave:

Its the second weekend of the month and we're meeting at Good Ole Lake Victoria for our monthly race weekend!

The HOTMBC will be running Fast Electric Boats in Several classes including: LSH, Sport Hydro, P-Mono, Q-Mono, and perhaps S&T Mono.

We will also have two new boats on the water: Tom Taggart's "Miss Great Lakes" 1/8 scale classic and Mike Brannan's new 82 Karleson Cabover "Oh Boy Oberto" LSH. This is gonna be Cool!

IF you have an electric RC boat (Race, Scale, or Sail) and want to run her come on out and join us at Victoria Lakes in Katy. We will be meeting from 10:00 to about 4:00. To find us go to www.HOTMBC.com (http://www.HOTMBC.com) and look on the "Where to Find Us" page for a map.

See Ya There! :yeah:

I'll be there at 07:00 with my Seaducer SD3 technology, light E-glass layup mono for fast electrics, motivated by Neu, powered by A123 cells, pushed by an Octura prop, secured by a Zuber prop nut, and exclusively using Renfrew hockey tape on the hatch.:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

You are all bad,bad boys.
Jim,do you use a radio with that set up?,Or just a gearmotor and a cam with springs to operate the rudder. LOL You know like the cars some of us used to run on the kitchen floor to upset mom while she was cooking dinner.. :eek: There were a couple of different cams you could use depending if you wanted to do circles or ovals...:thumup:

It's all good Doug...or at least it's supposed to be. It's just toy boats afterall, not like it's something life-or-death serious....:wave:

Yes sir!It is ALL good !!!:thumup: And if it isn't, you need to sell it and get something that is.:yeah: As for life-or-death serious.I find myself explaining to my wife that we can't look at what it costs to be in this hobby. But rather look at the cost to fun factor.... So far it's working.:yeah:
Besides,we're still eating three times a week!!:wave:
You guys have fun!!!!!

I will only bring 3 boats this weekend. P-hydro, p-mono, and lsh. I need to get them all lined out before the LSMBC races in Crosby.

Doug,

As a matter of fact, I do use a radio. The only radio that works is a Futaba 3PK running in the PCM mode and using a Futaba R113ip receiver. That's with a separate 5-cell receiver pack of at least 500maH capacity. That's all I ever use, and all I will ever use. Futaba 1024 PCM Rules! Nothing else can win. If anyone suggests that there may be alternatives, I suspect they are part of a massive underground conspiracy against me. :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

Jim, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you.:eek: I remember a thread right here not so long ago,about the JR,you know(Juvenile Radios:) ) and it was all positive.:thumup:
That is all I have ever used. Not that I have a problem with Futaba,,,,JR is just easier to say.:wave:

PS. You need to use fewer smiles,so I can use more. Your smiles count on my post and I'm tired of it !!!!! Thanks in advance. Smile--Wave

Dam it guys he's on too us, turn your radio's off quick

[HoustonDominant]

Jim, Are we meeting at the HOTMBC lake at 7am, or at the saw pond at 7am?

Anyone from the HOTMBC need any more vinyl graphics cut for this weekend before I store the cutter? My girlfriend is getting that look in her eyes that says "you have cluttered up the dining table long enough (again).

Steve-O and Mike, I will have your Oboy! Oberto graphics with me Saturday morning.

[jevmax]

JD,

We'll meet at the clubhouse at 07:00 and go down to the SAW pond.

See ya then,

[Stephen Mason]

YES!:yeah:

But we need to be back at the oval race facility by 10:00 because I have had communications from recuiting that there will be a large contingent of Newbies to be indoctrinated.

Regards,

[2CoolRC]

You should let us know when you are having these races! www.houstonrc.com

[Stephen Mason]

I would love to be able to (and often do try) to post notices here (RRR) and at HoustonRC but sometimes I just forget!

Sorry about that guys!

[2CoolRC]

Great!. We just want to let people know who is doing what and where. Trying to steer the new guys in the right direction too
