Blackout -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (6/16/2010 11:19 PM)

I'm still boating, just haven't made time to get to an Elmira race. Too many hobbies... But, I have two sons that will be racing with me once we get the boats sorted and such. I finally got the Speedmaster .45 running and next is the JAE .21. These are the two boats that we will learn to race on. Below is a video of my backyard pond and breaking-in the O.S. 46vx-m. The pond will be lengthened 175 ft more this summer.





FurnalFlyer -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (6/18/2010 3:41 AM)

I am looking to start racing next year... I will be trying to come to the next race in July to get a feel of it and to see what I need.



PropCircles -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (6/18/2010 5:31 AM)

FurnalFlyer - Great to hear you may be coming down to the next race. I just started racing last year - had a few good runs and also took out a few bouys. This year has been better (so far).

Blackout - Boat looks like it runs well! Hope you can make it down to Elmira soon.

Even if you're not ready race yet, it's a great group of people and always a good time.

Hope to see you both there.

Bob

Bob, Thank you for having me share your setup tables & as well as kind generosity. Your hospitality has made me feel at home. As a old/new boater ,its great to have all the RC knowledge for help and advice. We need you all to be " Race of Champions "Craig your hull ,lookin good We have very few boats in the 45 class. Looks like your pond is rid of muskrats. I still laugh about that varmint rid ideals you received . That post is a classic. It may have been on the IW site
You do need a IMPBA membership card to run.
Which is also insurance should anything happen in the pit or launch area.

advanced builder -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (6/20/2010 1:34 AM)

Zero, WELCOME , you've got some fine boaters close to you .



Joe Petro -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (6/20/2010 2:47 AM)

Zero,

There are a few boaters in the Utica area.
We usually run at Hinckley, below the dam. It tends to get crowded with kayaks and canoes this time of year though...

Today we went over to Fayetteville with Advanced Builder and ran at the test pond there.
What a site! Really a nice pond to test in. Only 45 minutes or so from Utica.

Shoot me an email for more info- joe at zippkits dot com.

Advanced,

Thanks for helping me today! Had a great time!



Joe

also my green SV27 which will get new paint this winter, and Retrival boat, an Atlantic Harbor tug :D



advanced builder -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (8/6/2010 5:13 PM)

Hello Brian, Glad to here from you. looks like you working on your boats ,Are you ready to run?? We are testing on Sunday. HA that tug look mean nice looking fleet . I been building the new hull Easy Vee . I did move right along .elbow grease .I am cutting here loose from the jig.



Serpents Den -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (8/7/2010 3:06 AM)

nice, outta the 3 'fun' boats, only my SV will be ready maybe on sunday...i get to install my new adjustable trim tabs this weekend, add just a dab of epoxy on the nose where it ran into something (old owner), realign the motor to the flex shaft / stuffing tube....was never done and it is off a bit......check all the bolts, fuel and cooling system for leaks, everything else seems sound so far....props look ok havent checked balance yet.....the cat i havent been able to start glassing old holes closed yet (work's been keeping me busy and exhausted :P)....need to pick up some dowl to help with that part of the project so the re-marked mounting holes for the rudder dont get screwed up, and the holes for the autobailers for same reason....drain hole from mfr way too high lol

the tug, all i have to do is get my 'retrieval line' made for it,  charge up a couple of old nimh packs that i have left over from my old rc car project ive neglected



advanced builder -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (8/10/2010 3:33 AM)

Serpents Den , we met a new guy. Joe & Dick met the fella at the Cross Lake regatta. He said they run over near Military Circle ,some pond near a Office Park. I looked via Google map ,can't seam to find it. Dick & Joe's knowledge of boating and running characteristics is uncanny. I am lucky to have the guys around . See you soon We run in Elmira this weekend . I also have run at Gilly lake in Warners. You need a retrieval there



Serpents Den -> RE: Central NEW YORK boaters (8/10/2010 6:34 PM)

hmmm...i'll have to look at military circle myself....warners, that's another place not too far from here also....i have some family living in the area there as well.....definitely worth looking into
