, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbDxQNHsNBo and on Google videos. I didn't put it on Google but it got there seeing how Google now owns You Tube.
I tried uploading it into RCU Videos but didn't have any luck there.

Status: offline 		Nope, that's him! He really is like that in person too. He just had to mess with Eric when we did the video. you hear me right at the beginnig and end of it, I didn't know that I sounded so bad! That's why I don't sing as I'm definitely not American Idol material.

Status: offline 		The nitro version has some really nice isolated motor mounts. Vibration shouldn't be a problem with an electric boat unless the armature or prop is way out of balance.

Status: offline 		what i meant was that the brushless power is to much for the boat so imagine what the nitro power would or could do to it.but i know me and ill get one anyways

Status: offline 		I briefly fired up the engine yesterday afternoon a couple of times using the pull-starter. Maybe later I'll add a belt to it but I wanted to try it the way that most others will. I'll be heading to the local watering hole either today or tomorrow to get it wet and will have a video or two.
We've got some greta weather this weekend so the air temps weill be ideal but the pond water might be a bit chilly yet.

Status: offline 		I'll be heading out to the pond to test my SV 27 GP in a few hours. Fired it up last night using a starter belt. Started up easily using the belt. I've developed a case of "tennis elbow" in my right arm and pull start engines are a "pain in the elbow." I've talked my wife into going along to get some radar readings.

Status: offline 		I called our mutual friend Gary last night to get a few spare parts and some other props to try out so I'll have more to try out. He will be carrying Hughey flex cables for the SV 27 N but they won't be compatable with the Miss Vegas boats from what he told me.
Check the drive dog as mine was loose. It only showed up when I pulled the prop off.

Status: offline 		I'm waiting for my son to get home right now as he'll be recording the outting. Everything is packed and ready to roll.

[Update]
I just got home from the pond and having trouble getting the video uploaded. My kid did it and had trouble seeing the screen so there will be a lot of hit-and-miss shots. It was a lot sunnier than what the video shows. You'll also hear the hospital helicopter flying over.
