Any North Carolina modelers out there
The N.C. Model Ship Builders have started back running ships at City Lake in Rocky Mount, N.C. Looking for other modelers in the area to come and join the fun. We have been running 1/96 scale ships but we have others to run. On September 16 we are going to have a fleet run with four scale ships. If you would like to join us in the run or would just like to come and visit let me know on this forum. Joe

Hi Joe,
My name is Rick Strickland and I live down in Kinston, NC. If you do not mind Submarines, I would like to join you in Rocky Mount. I command the SSN-594 Permit Class in 1/96 scale. Send me directions and I will get everything ready for the mission.
Let me know and we can exchange E-mail addresses. Been modelling ships about 15 years or so. RC Warship Combat, some sailing, small scale, fast electric (tupperware boats), homemade crackerbox, shrimp boats, and now subs.
Later, The Sludgejudge

Hi Rick, are you familiar with Rocky Mount at all. The City Lake that we run at is just a little ways from the old Tarrytown Mall that is now torn down. Which road will you be taking here? It may be that I can meet you at a location and you can follow me there. Get back with me as soon as you can. Joe

Hi Joe,
I will go up thru Show Hill, Stantonburg, and Wilson. Turn right in Wilson headed for Rocky Mount. I remember where the Mall was because we would go up and turn right at the overpass to go to Warrenton. Just give me an address close to the lake and I can try Mapquest. I run on channel 72, hopefully it is open! Tell me about the lake, size, depth, color, clarity, algae growth, and anything else you can think of.

Rick, try mapquest on this address Chcico's Mexican Restaurant at 1701 Sunset Ave. This restaurant is located at the lake. I will be at the lake around noon saturday. The lake has ducks in it and there is some algae in the bottom. I would guess that the lake is not over five foot deep. To get a look at the lake go to www.warshipmodelsunderway.com and go to the disscussion forum. Then look for event photo's and click on N.C. Fleet Run. You will see our ships and the lake. I look forward to seeing you and if you need any more info I'll check this forum Tuesday. Joe

Joe,
I should have no problems find the Lake, it looks nice, last big run was at SubRegatta at Carmel, Indiana. Reflecting pool the size of 2 football fields, exactly 3 feet deep and crystal clear. Have not found any really good sites in LENOIR County. Thought about WHITE LAKE. Looking forward to meeting you Saturday.
Just need to replace my Auto Pitch Control board, and charge up.
