Once spring first hits we should have some good thunder boat grudge racing! We'll have to practice for the real races. I'll CD, get the Thompsons and Joe to bring their thunderboats and then Roger, Tom, and Rick. Bob has one too! Let's see how many thunder boats can safely race on Stony Pond with the new improvements.... Atleast 4 and the drivers stand might allow more. The drivers stand is key because everyone is going to be fighting for lane 1 anyways....

Hey Rick... Why don't you find me a nice pattern plane to trade for some hardware?
I really need a pre-turnaround ship! Something from the 70's would be fine...
As for the raffle prizes, you could get a manufacturer to sell you a kit, engine and hardware for cost, and have Rick build it and paint it then raffle it off as a custom RTR.
You would make a lot more money than buying a $900 RTR gas boat.
I may know just the person to talk to about this.........
We will fully support Stony Pond in any way we can. A swap shop is an EXCELLENT IDEA for the big race. Make it for all R/C (boats, aircraft, cars) and promote it.
I do a lot of promotion for other clubs (and Zipp) so let me know if I can help.

This is a great idea... suprised no one commented on it... I would be willing to donate the build time and some KLASS KOTE i have left over and the west systems to seal it and we can adervitise it as an AWESOME ZIPPKITS ARTR..maby we can get a donated radio and servos etc from some manufactures to publisize them as well as ZIPPKITS,Parshallwoodworks,STONEY POND BOAT CLUB, as a multiple business participation project.... WIN,WIN for all of us.. just sayin... good way to promote the hobby and several businesses and club!! just throwin it out there AGAIN... lets set things in motion[img][/img]

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
tdrock...To add to Billk44's comment...There is a thread on Jim's boat dock on the Rev Unlimited engine that drags the X-Force into the discussion. Take what is in these back and forth threads with a grain of salt. I liked the post from WHH's Tony Castronovo (pg13). He's an upfront guy and what he produces is good quality. At the price you can't go wrong. If you are just getting your feet wet (so to speak) putting a stock X-Force (avail from Zipp Kits) in the EV is a great way to go.

Only 27cc's is the restriction. I think thunderboat is the only IMPBA class that needs a stock Zenoah. There might be some proposed classes though.

but you can put whatever size engine like QD if you wish to only run the hydro in the open Hydro class.
here this is from the rules
The intent of the Hull and Class designation is to set standards and guidelines for the LSG classes. The
following classes shall be recognized as the official hull/class standards. The Hydro, Catamaran, Mono,
Sport Hydro will run in LSG27 or LSG36.

So can we now run billet / head button type motors in non open classes? I know about the open classes.

I had forgotten about the Quick Draw not being allowed because of it's head design. So, for the NY series, the only class a Quick Draw can run in is open mono or open rigger?

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
OK GUYS WAIT A MINUTE ABOUT THE LSG27 CLASS SEEMED THEY HAVE
CHANGED THE RULE FROM TAKING A GOOD LOOK AT IT ON THE NEW 2012 RULES FROM THE IMPBA SITE
THE QD'S MAYBE LEAGAL
I have sent an e-mail to the IMPBA gas director to see if they are or not legal
or they have done a miss print of the rules.
I know that the old rule in the old rule book says they are not legal
so let's wait and see what I get back from IMPBA.

Luc

The big blocks (over 27cc's) are tempting, but if you plan to race locally, and you want to run gas mono, in theory you need a 27cc or less engine. Sooner or later this rule could change locally. I know some local clubs allow up to 36cc for their gas classes. Locally, there are not enough boats to hold both a LSG27 and LSG36 class. I ran my 30cc gas mono in open mono and that worked out fine too. So, either way, you will have a class.
Looking forward to meeting you come spring time. You are close by and I drive through Geneva to get to the Elmira races, so you are in a good spot for IMPBA racing. Head north on I-81 and there is a big race in Ottawa at the end of the summer. Last year there were class boat counts up to 16!
