this is what we need
it was great to check my computer today and see a lot of post in the gas boat section here on rc universe,this is such a great place to promote our hobby, there are already rc guys on this site, with rc boating in there blood, they just dont know it, so here is a great spot to get model boating on the map, dont just read POST. it was nice to see some new threads posted in such a short time, AWESOME lets see it , and talk about it.

RE: this is what we need
Not sure about others but I have had a horrible time with the RCU site recent weeks. There are some pages I just cannot get into sometimes no matter how many times I refresh. I have repeatedly raised the issue with admins so hopefully they will act on it as I know other moderators (and members) see a similar issue.
Hope it does not give too many others issue. I (like Tom) love to see new posts, builds, and continued interest in this great hobby!

Maybe it's time to grant the Mathe a nice new modern electronic CDI ?

No need for the new electronic deal as mine was convereted to a mag ingition rite after I took ownership of it. My machinist use a yamaha racing go-kart flywheel & coil, ran quite well the last time it was ran, no need to carry the extra weight of a drycell battery to fire the electronic ingtion.

cc has a lot of great stuff and it should be very helpful to have them local to you, al that runs a s-520 in one of our thunderbolts has just got his hands on a set of k-30 cylinders, it will be neat to see how everything works out, the s-520 is awesome, some good stuff coming from RCMK, post some pics of that mathe, we are off to a good start, lets make this boat section awesome keep the post coming, even if its a problem you know the answer to, a lot of guys will be reading and not posting so all the info is great and will help someone, this could be a great section for all model boaters, from hardcore racers to guys that just love boats,
