read an article in an old magazine: Name is "Chriscat"

If I thought the hull could handle it I would stick a pair of rcmks in the sponsors and my mhz drives would look killer

I often meet with different people to the model boating. And just ask for old models.
I do not know what I do with it ... to the assembly of
old Z Drive's I have after thought.

I believe that the 30cc home lite is a little too big for the Explorer is ... he might better fit my old Tiger Shark.
Here in Germany it is unfortunately banned almost everywhere to drive on inland waters with Glow.
